Another Province in China Entered

By J. N. ANDERSON

J. N. ANDERSON
The locating of seven new workers in Shanghai, occasioned by the recent decision to establish the publishing plant for this whole field in that place, means that this message has entered one more of the eighteen provinces of China proper.
Dr. H. W. Miller, who, since entering China, has given most of his time and strength to the publishing interests, is to lead out in this work in Shanghai, the commercial center of the far East. That line of work is further represented by Brother and Sister Roberts, formerly of the Pacific Press. Brother Roberts is an experienced stereotyper, and will have charge of that part of the publishing work. His wife, who is an expert proof-reader, will act in that capacity, and so meet a long-felt need. Dr. Miller has been chosen to act as editor of our Chinese paper, the Gospel Herald. In this work he will be assisted by two non-resident associate editors, Dr. A. C. Selmon and Brother E. H. Wilbur.
Once this paper is set into successful operation, it is sure to be the most effective means of educating our whole body of converts and inquirers, and so bring about a unification of the entire work which is not only important, but quite indispensable, in this field where so many disintegrating influences prevail. The whole work in all China must be a unit, and become an integral part of the world-wide message. We hope and believe the Gospel Herald will do its full share in effecting this desirable end.

Our new secretary and treasurer, Brother H. H. Winslow with his family, has been located in Shanghai to carry on that line of work. He will render further assistance in a general way in the publishing work, which for the time being must be carried on in rented quarters until a site can be secured, and a manufacturing plant established.
Sister B. Moultrup, the aunt of Mrs. H. W. Miller, who came out in company with the latter, is also located in Shanghai to learn that language and so prepare for evangelistic work. All the other workers, though their work is rather routine and mechanical, will study Chinese and so come in touch with the people among whom they live. In this way they are a nucleus for a large work to be carried on in that province with a population of perhaps fifteen or twenty million.
But we are not merely setting into operation a printing plant for this great field, and opening a new province to the truth. Beyond all this we are planting a standard in the greatest city of the Orient, and the largest and most important missionary center of the world. Our very presence there puts us continually in the way of great opportunities, and correspondingly great responsibilities. In no other place could the message we hold be so largely and readily published abroad. Shanghai is the gateway to nearly all China and the highway of the Orient.
Brethren, “continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving; withal praying also for us, that God would open unto us a door of utterance, to speak the mystery of Christ.”
