Opportunities in China

By Henry Blodgett

Opportunities in China.—The West River has recently been opened in all its length to trade and trading vessels. The Yang-tse has been opened in like manner. These rivers flow through densely-populated countries, and large numbers of missionaries are needed to reach the multitudes of people. A steamer has passed through the rapids of the Yang-tse, and the fifty million of Szechuan are now accessible by steam communication. The number of missionaries there needs greatly to be increased. The province of Hunan has now two resident missionaries. This province has been intensely hostile to foreigners. Until very recently no foreign missionary could labor in that province at all.—H. Blodgett, D.D.
