"A CHRISTIAN MAN GREATLY PREFERRED."
RECENTLY a graduate of the Anglo-Chinese College at Foochow, China, was invited to go to Ching-siu to teach in a school established by the officials of that place. A clause in the letter of invitation was to the effect that if he could not accept the position they desired him to get them a good teacher—"a Christian man greatly preferred." Another student of the Anglo-Chinese College was invited to teach English in a mandarin's family. This student, who was a grandson of the first ordained Chinese Methodist preacher, agreed to accept on condition that he could teach the mandarin's children Christianity and could follow his own convictions in the matter of Sabbath observance. He was accepted, and finds that the whole family are willing to hear him talk of Christ.—World-wide Missions.
