Chinese. They never trouble them and always send their boys to the
evening school. I heard not long ago from their teacher, that the
whole mission house has been renovated and a new floor put down at the
expense of the brethren and scholars.

CHIN GAING IN CHINA.

[EXTRACT FROM AN ADDRESS IN ALAMEDA, CAL., BY CHIN GAING.]

It is over eleven years since I left my home in China. Near the end of
1882 I began to attend the mission school in San Francisco. After
being there about two years I joined the Christian Association, and
six months from then I was baptized and joined Bethany Church.

Two years ago I returned to China. My friends there knew that I had
changed my religion, and so, when I went back they asked me many
questions.

My relatives wanted to know about the people in this country, what
religion they had and what gods they worshiped. And whether the
Chinese who went there believed the same as the American people.

I told them we believed in one God. They said, "Which one?"

I answered, the one that created the heaven and the earth, and all
things in the world and the sea. The God who has all power and whom we
ought to worship.
