Chinese Liberality

FOREIGN missionaries laboring among the Chinese are in more than one city embarrassed by the abundance of the gifts showered upon them by the natives. In some places the heathen have put into the hands of the American missionaries enough funds to build complete churches, hospitals, and schools. In Canton, for example, one Chinese woman has contributed $3,500 to add a children's ward to the women's hospital in that place. Mr. Li, a merchant of Ningpo, has presented the Presbyterian Board with thirty thousand dollars for a high-grade boys' school. Like instances are reported from other cities.—Selected.
