Among the Hakkas

By S. A. Nagel

The work among the Hakka-speaking people of the Canton province continues to grow. Just now Brother J. P. Anderson is away visiting stations in the north, and planning to start one new station. This time I must send a word regarding the medical missionary work which we all have to do. It is remarkable what comes to us even though we are not medical missionaries. It is surprising, also, what one can do with our rational methods of treatment and a few simple remedies. I sometimes wonder why these poor people do not all die. They will not send for the foreigner until they are very nearly dead. Sometimes in my lack of knowledge I feel like running away, but their great need appeals to me.
