Hunan, China

By P. J. Laird

CHANG-SHA.—When we understand that the people of Chang-sha are dropping their subscriptions for newspapers, which they used to share between little groups, to save cash, we are thankful to God for enabling us to sell a few Heralds from store to store.

Daily our prayers arise that God will lead us out to another ‘center if he desires us to change our location. Last month the eye-work gave some ‘excellent opportunities for testimony, praise God! Yesterday I was called several times to meet guests and preach Jesus. One was a fine fellow, a B. A., for four years in a responsible position at Changsha.

Brother Lu writes from Hankow, with praise on his lips for God's leading him to find a temporary home there while selling from three hundred to four hundred cash' worth of books daily. Yesterday morning Brother Huang came in with his face all aglow, telling of a precious experience with a family who had invited him to go and stay overnight with them, and explain the Scriptures to them. They live outside the city, and the gate closes early.

Mrs. Chang did her first bit of missionary work by going to a neighbor's and talking the gospel for a few hours. I wish you could have seen Brother Chang when he told me how he praised God for this token of his blessing. “Last year,” he said, “she would not believe.” P. J. LAIRD.
