WE acknowledge receipt of a copy of the December number of Fuh In Hsuen Pao, our Chinese periodical, published at Shang Tsai Hsien, Honan, China. A letter to Brother E. R. Palmer from Dr. H. W. Miller says: “This little paper is gaining in circulation, altho we can but say that we have made a start. We have some men who devote their entire time now to selling it. We are receiving some subscriptions from the states and other lands. I see no reason why it should not be placed in the hands of every Chinese in these lands, as the Chinese very seldom learn enough English to secure any book learning in a foreign tongue.” Price, 25 cents a year, monthly, including postage. Address Dr. H. W. Miller, as above.
