The Influence of Tracts in China

In twenty-three years the Central China Religious Tract Society has circulated over three million publications. Its tracts are in most cases sold, not given away, which fact indicates the desire of the people to obtain them. Some of them have been reprinted by the Chinese themselves and distributed at their own expense. At the recent anniversary of this tract society Dr. Griffith John gave some striking illustrations of the influence of these tracts upon persons of all grades in society. One case was mentioned of a man named Chang who found a tract in the basket of the waste-paper collector, the result being that he became a Christian and was the means of bringing nine persons into the Christian church.
