Chapter 32,958 wordsPublic domain

It was a scene that interested the angels, I am sure, when in our rude little mission-house, in the presence of a goodly company both of Chinese and Americans, those twelve disciples stood together, hand in hand, and accepted their confession and covenant. Eleven were Chinese; one, their teacher, was an American. Ten were baptized--the largest number of Chinese that I have ever baptized at one time.

Some, at least, of the village pastors, and a large company of other Christians--too large for our limited space--would have been with us but for the fact that Union Evangelistic services were in progress and they felt it necessary to attend and take part in them.

Is it not worth while to maintain in vigor a work like this?

SANTA CRUZ MISSION.

Of this mission Dr. Pond writes: I give you an opportunity to share my joy by inclosing the letter from Mrs. Hall, our teacher at Santa Cruz. She has been for three months teaching a class of Japanese after her teaching in the Chinese school is ended; that is after nine o'clock in the evening--often not beginning till nearly ten. The two schools are now happily united at our Chinese Mission House:

LETTER FROM MRS. KATE V. HALL.

"My heart is filled with gladness this New Year, and I am sure that the tidings I send you will make you happy also. Four Japanese and two Chinese have given their hearts to the Lord in the past month; two Japanese and two Chinese will receive baptism Sunday, and the other two Japanese will wait till the following Communion, as they wish to study the Bible more. I am satisfied to have them wait, if they wish, as I want them to have all doubts cleared away.

"I will not send a report for the Japanese, as they came into the Chinese Mission three nights ago. I am so glad they were willing to attend the Chinese school, as my work at the Chinese Mission is growing each night, and often when I reached the Japanese school I was so hoarse I could hardly speak, so now, by remaining a half hour later, I will be able to do the same amount of work without hurrying so. I feel that the Lord has fully repaid me for my labor at the Japanese school."
