Letter From The Waits Boys.
Chining Chow, China, Deo. 1 1, liKM.
Miss Martha McCluro,
I'ancoast, Pa.
Dear Miss McCluro : We received
your letter and monoy some time since.
It Is good to no remembered by the
homo peoplo. Wo aro glad to 1 ave tho
money for the work, and know wncn
the society decided to send tho money
they would remember us and prBy for
us, and to know that wo aro being pray
ed for is very helpful In tho work hero.
We will use four dollars of tho money
In paying the salary of a native helper
on a tour Into tho country, ami Inter
wilt havo him write a letter .about his
travols and wo will translate It. Into
English and send it to you. We will
give four dollars of the money to help
In the hospital work here. There are
some patients who should hava food
purchased for them so wo will give Dr.
l.yon (our dollars to buy fond for the
very sick ones. Tho remaining threo
dollars wo will use in hiring wheel
barrows for an Itinerating trip next
spring and will write you a hitter and
tell yon about tho trip, which we will
probably take In March.
It Is a time of great opportunity In
China. There aro a great many people
willing to be taught the gospel and who
want to bo admitted into tho church.
Tho harvest is white but the laborers
are few, Tho missionaries of China
are praying to tho Lord of tho harvest
and asking Him to stir up His people
In Christian lands to send forth enough
workers to double our number before
1!X)7. It will then bo ono hundred
years slnco tho first protestant mission
ary began work in China. Wo number
In tho protestant missionary 2,7M, und
by 11)07 wo want to number 5,1170. .
It was very kind of your missionary
society to think of us and our work
here. Will you kindly express our
thanks to them for so doing, and wo
trust tho Lord will bless tho contribu
tion to His own glory.
Wo hope you will all remember us at
the Throne of Graco that tho blessings
of the Lord may reBt upon us and tho
work here. Yours Slncerly,
Jamf.8 and Ai.kx Waitk.
