A Letter to the General Conference From a Chinese Christian
By Leung Kin Cho
Your servant, since hearing Mr. Anderson and Mr. Wilbur explain the Sabbath truth, saw more fully God’s inexhaustible word as though it were not by man’s power or by man’s mouth that I was taught. I truly thank the Saviour for his great mercy. It is a sad fact that my humble country has a large surface, and the people are many—about four hundred million souls of the yellow race, plunged in sin. But our church, counting the work in other provinces, has only entered three or four places. This is like attempting to quench with a cup of water a load of wood afire. How can it be sufficient? This makes my heart burn and break within me. Then, too, we are separated from you, so that we do not have a chance to meet and consult together about the Lord’s work, that you might teach us. But ah! I remember, “We know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.” Rom. 8: 28. I beg your venerable General Conference and ministers assembled to soon send to China many more good shepherds (see John 10:11), to save your neighboring country. This is most important. It would be observing the commandment to love your neighbor as yourself, because China is your neighboring country. I hope your honorable conference will pray about this matter. Amen. Greetings to all the ministers and teachers of the great Seventh-day Adventist General Conference.
