CHICAGO CHINESE MISSION

By C. S. Potts; Jessie Roach

THERE is a work being done in Chicago that, although unostentatious and quiet in its character, is bearing visible fruit for the kingdom. This work has been persistently, faithfully, and prayerfully carried on for the last seven years.
No one connected with this work is rich in this world's goods, and the procuring of money to meet the expense of light, heat, and rent is no small part of the burden; in fact, it has been uphill work since the start, yet God has so signally blessed it that there could be no thought of giving it up.
The work we refer to is that being done among the Chinese; a school is conducted every Sunday evening at 262 State St., where the students are taught to read and speak the English language, and are instructed in the present truth. The eagerness with which these young men take advantage of the opportunity afforded them, and the interest they manifest in the truths of the Third Angel's Message are indeed gratifying to those carrying on the enterprise; but it is especially encouraging when one after another accepts the truth taught. Such instances are not infrequent, and are always accompanied by a firm, unwavering adherence to the principles of truth and a strictness in Sabbath observance that nothing but a living faith can produce.
The teachers give their time, and the students contribute what they can. Previously to the recent trouble with China we were able to interest outsiders who, well knowing the nature of our work, helped us; but since the trouble, such prejudice has arisen that it is impossible to get help from that source.
