Another Call for a General Agent for China

By E. R. Palmer

OUR brethren and sisters who have been rejoicing during the past two years over the providential openings for our publishing work in China, will be anxious to hear how the work is prospering under the terrible revolutionary conditions which now prevail in that great empire. In a letter written from Shanghai, China, Dec. 28, 1911, Elder I. H. Evans writes:—

“We want a general agent who has length and breadth and height and depth, because our work is in a most disorganized state.

I must have the cooperation of a field man who can train our native colporteurs. If a man were here, he could at once begin the study of the language, and by the time the situation has cleared up, he might have a good knowledge of the language. So you can see the importance of sending us a man at the earliest possible date.”

For a long time we have been looking for a general agent for China. Has not the time come for some one to be sent? This revolution will doubtless open up China to our literature. We wish to correspond with any who may feel called of God to respond to China’s need.
