The same story is heard everywhere. In _The Crescent in Northwest China_, by G. Findlay Andrew, a missionary, the author says: “Islam has often been referred to as the challenge to Christian missions. During the past few years a few Hwei-Hwei (Chinese Moslems) have been reached with the Gospel and, after a profession of faith, have been accepted as church members or as inquirers.
