REAL sacrifice is not confined to the more favored lands. Recently, in connection with our mission work in the southeastern part of China, we presented the manner in which our world-wide work is carried forward, and how in the home fields people sacrifice, that money may be sent on to support workers in distant mission fields. The native brethren's hearts were touched. They immediately began taking up a regular Sabbath offering. One of the brethren gave a gold ring, that he had bought before becoming a Christian, and said that he would sell it and give the proceeds. He managed to sell the ring for nine dollars, to which he added enough to make it an even ten dollars. To be sure, from our standpoint, this is not a large sum; but it must be remembered that a man here can be hired to work hard for two whole months for that sum. Thus really this brother gave a sum equal to the wages of two day-laborers anywhere in the world for the period of one month.
Our other Chinese brethren are lifting bravely. It will do you good to know that we are doing all we can on this side of the water, to help carry the financial burden of our mission enterprises.
