East China Mission Field

By A. C. Seldon

A. C. SELDON, M. D.
FROM day to day the street chapel in this place is filled with men and women. A class of inquirers is being taught daily.
During the summer of 1910 China's first national exposition was held, in the city of Nanking, bringing visitors from every province. Our colporteurs were sent there to open work and sell literature; and thousands who came to see the improved methods of manufacturing, of traveling, etc., bought the papers that our colporteurs were selling. These gave them opportunity to learn that the great improvement they are in need of is a turning away from idols to the worship of the true God, and to prepare for his soon coming to judge the world.
Nanking and Shanghai are both in the province of Kiang-su. The other two provinces of this field are Che-kiang and Anhwei. No work is being carried on in Che-kiang province. In the province of Anhwei, at a place called Ying-shan-Hsien, there is a large company of Sabbath-keepers. The raising up of this company of Christians came about through one man in the city, who received letters and literature from a friend in another province.
