ONE, two, three, four,—only four years of age, was the little Chinese maiden who quietly entered the room where Mrs. Djang and I were talking. Mrs. Djang, our Bible woman, is a real “mother in Israel,” and beloved by all.
Calling the little girl to her, she said, “Come and repeat the commandments for Mrs. Cottrell.” Immediately, in very clear Mandarin, the child repeated, without prompting, the Ten Commandments. Then Mrs. Djang asked, “Now will you625sing for us, ‘Jesus Loves Me’?” whereupon the little girl sang, from memory, the four verses of that beautifully impressive gospel song, and then sang quite accurately, from the song book, several other hymns.

This little girl is attending one of our church schools, and, though so young, studies very diligently. Her attainments are but a sample of the good work done for the youth and children at that place. Their leaders seem to believe firmly that “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.”
