FROM CHINA.

By Editor

WE take the following interesting items from a letter in the Bible Echo written by Brother La Rue, and dated at Hongkong, July 12:—
I have sent "The Sinner's Need of Christ" to Japan to be translated into the Japanese language. The officer who has charge of it is a noble young man, who has embraced the truth with his whole heart, and I believe the Lord is fitting him up for a place in the work. There are three Sabbath keepers on board his vessel.
The times are very hard here. It is almost impossible to sell a book, or, in fact, anything else unless it is something good to eat. I have sent to California for over a ton of dried fruit and grains. I have orders for the most of it, and am furnishing some of the best people in Hongkong. This is a help in the missionary work, as I get acquainted with the people by this means.
We have a great deal, even in this hard field, to encourage us. I have seen the hand of the Lord in a great many things since I have been here.
