Along Gospel Picket Lines

By H. M. Blunden

SINCE John Faust carried the first printed copies of God's word into the palaces of the nobles of Paris, the printing press has been a powerful factor in gospel work.

The colporteur work in China is doing more for the spread of the gospel message than almost any other one factor.

The picture in the lower right-hand corner shows a group of colporteurs ready to start from Nanking. These men are as enthusiastic over their work as are gospel workers in America or any other country. They represent about one hundred earnest and faithful workers in this country who are circulating gospel literature in like manner.

From Szechuan in the west to the eastern port of Shanghai, and from Manchuria in the north to the borders of China in the south, this grand work is carried on. As the direct result of this campaign, a harvest of souls is being gathered from the densest darkness of heathenism. Already hundreds are rejoicing in the glorious freedom of God's gospel, whose attention was first arrested by the visit of the colporteur with the printed page.
