A MISSIONARY, describing a day’s journey in China, and a conversation on the way, said: When you meet a Chinaman he fires off a volley of questions, which, of course, you answer promptly: “How are you?” “Have you had your breakfast?” “What are you doing?” “Where are you going?” “What are you going to do there?” and so on “What country do you come from?”—“England.” “And how far is that?”—“Ten thousand miles.” This puzzles Mr. Chinaman for a time. Then he looks up again with a smile, and says, “Well, you must walk fast.” Then he proceeds: “How old are you?” “Are you married?” “How old is your wife?” “Any children?” “Boys or girls?” He is glad if they are boys, but shakes his head if they are girls. This is the funny side of the conversation, but something else has to be done. At the right moment you will give him a Gospel, and talk to him about Jesus. He will accept the book, and obtain help to read it. He will afterwards be found pouring over some of the parables or miracles of our Lord. Thus he learns the Gospel.—Exchange.
