Gratifying Progress in China.
By Editor
A POSTAL card recently received from Brother Bert A. Roberts, who with his wife joined the corps of missionaries who went to China, March 2, 1908, gives the gratifying intelligence that Mrs. Roberts is already sufficiently advanced in the Chinese language to be able to make herself understood among the Chinese people. This is certainly very remarkable. Brother Roberts says he is also making progress, but he is not able to keep up with his wife in learning the language. This may be due in part to the fact that Brother Roberts is very busy in the mechanical work of helping to equip the printing-office that we are establishing in that place. In this connection it would be well to remind our readers that some five thousand dollars is needed to establish the printing work in Shanghai. The work that our missionaries are doing in that field should appeal to us. There can be no more profitable investment in funds than to assist missionaries who are seeking to spread the principles of the great message of truth in regard to the soon-coming of Christ.
