A. C. SELMON, M. D

By A. C. Selmon

SIANG-CHENG.—The work in our station has never looked more promising than it does now. I have one young man who is really converted, is paying his tithe, and is a good Bible student and preacher.

Mrs. Selmon's girls' school has just opened, after the New-year season, and the interest is good. The prospect for a large number of girls was good until this trouble, which has frightened the people.

For some time I have felt that we ought to do something to get the truth before the missionaries here in China. There are many true, consecrated ones among them, and without doubt a large number have never had their attention called to this message. I mentioned this at our council, and we raised twenty-seven dollars, gold, to send them the special message series of the Signs. We will put at least one set, and, in case it is a large place, several sets of the special Signs in over five sixths of all the mission stations in China. I wrote out two hundred and ninety addresses. The time is ripe for this work. The Centennial Missionary Conference will be held next May, and a missionary union will no doubt be formed, and allotments of territory will be made. We expect to follow up the Signs with other literature.

About three weeks ago we completed our song-book. We did not get out a very large edition, for we shall not need many for a while at least. It was quite a task for us to get out a book of this size, small as it is, because of the language. Mrs. Selmon and I spent about a month compiling and correcting the collection we have.
