LETTER FROM SAN FRANCISCO. _My Dear Miss Emerson_: Having just returned from my class of Chinese children, my mother thought, for the sake of variety, I might give an account of this interesting though curious gathering. This class was formed about three years ago. There was no Sabbath-school for Chinese children at the time, and seeing the great need of one, and being unable to attend to it on Sunday, I decided to have it on Friday afternoon, at three o’clock. About three-quarters of an hour before the time for commencing, I start for the children, going from home to home, inviting and coaxing them to come. I sometimes carry with me pieces of cake and candy or a bright text-card to attract those who seem more timid than the rest. If I meet a stray child on the street, I say “Na lie dook she?” (You come to school?) Sometimes my labors are rewarded by seeing a bundle of clothes slip past me, and a minute afterward all is lost in oblivion in a small alley; but sometimes they slip their dirty hands into mine and trudge along with me, amid the jeers and contemptuous smiles of those passing by. Finally we arrive at our school room, between twenty and thirty children being present, ranging all the way from five to twelve years. We commence by singing three or four hymns; then all rise and repeat a prayer after me in concert, sentence by sentence. I then explain the Sabbath-school lesson through an interpreter, and either show the picture of the International Lessons, or a black-board drawing, and sometimes an object. I find, as with all children, their interest can be awakened and held by means of an object or picture. After letting each repeat the text given the week before, we close with the Lord’s Prayer in Chinese; and after good-bye is said all around, I dismiss them, taking some of them home, as their parents are afraid to trust them across the car tracks alone.
