I HAVE just returned from a ten days' itinerating trip, visiting companies and interested persons. At Hui-An, China, a four days' meeting was held. A native evangelist has been working at this place for some time, and a good interest is manifested. At the close of the meeting ten souls were buried with their Lord in baptism. We expect that by the first of the year nearly as many more will be prepared for this sacred ordinance.
GROUP OF CHINESE NATIVE EVANGELISTS
The native evangelist at Hui-An had a singular experience this season. His little boy, about five years old, was taken with the plague, and from all appearances it seemed that he would soon be silent in death. The only hope of his recovery was in God. The child earnestly urged prayer. "Pray," he said; "there is wonderful power in prayer." One evening the believers, also a number of outsiders, gathered at the chapel and united in prayer for the child. There was a heathen man in the congregation who felt the presence of the Spirit of God, and that night while sleeping upon his bed he had a dream of Jesus standing by the child, and he was very definitely impressed that the boy would recover. He did get well, and the heathen accepted Christ as his Saviour.
