Five Chinese Blessings
By Byron A. Meeker
ABOVE many of the doorways in China may be seen four Chinese characters, which, translated, read, "Five blessings descend upon this house." The five blessings which the Chinese people want are long life, riches, soundness of body and serenity of mind, love of virtue, and an end crowning the life. As a matter of fact, nearly every one of these blessings is sadly lacking in most households. The Chinese people do not know that the gospel of Jesus Christ is the source of every blessing. Only the Saviour can supply their needs. Honest hearts are waiting to hear the story of Jesus' love. "Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest."
