Saving for the Work

By R. P. Montgomery

The other day a good Chinese sister was telling us how she planned to save money for offerings. She said that she would have to pay a first-class rickshaw seventy-five cents from her house to church, and forty-five cents for a second-class. She always takes the second, and thereby saves thirty cents every Sabbath. Her children, who can not understand her motive, try to persuade the old lady to take the first-class rickshaw, telling her that it takes longer to go in the second-class, and is much harder riding. This sister has given a great deal to the work. Besides paying tithe and other offerings, she has to my knowledge given $100 on two different occasions for special purposes.
