church, I visited the Congregational Chinese Sunday-school, superintended by a lawyer and taught by members of that parish.  Mr. Dorland, the Superintendent, is giving himself to this work with great enthusiasm, and his associates share in the same.  The thing which delighted me in Dr. Hutchins’ church, and in all this round of our Chinese Missions, was the fact that the local church is taking these Chinese of the A.M.A. schools into their fellowship, not only that of the Sunday-school but of church membership.  Whatever views may be held as to the political economy of exclusion, these Christians seem to realize that God has brought these pagans to their doors to be cared for in Christ’s name.  Mrs. Sheldon and her daughter, the missionaries of the American Missionary Association, teaching the night-school, serving in the Sunday-school, and by every feasible ministry, are confirming the judgment of one of our pastors that these lady missionaries are their “Evidences of Christianity.”

The other anniversary was that of our mission at San Diego—­Miss M.M.  Elliot, the missionary teacher, and Chin Toy, the helper.  Rev. W. C. Pond, D.D., of San Francisco, the Superintendent of our Chinese work, which he takes in addition to the pastoral care of the Bethany Church, had come down for his annual visitation of the missions in Southern California.  In the Mission Chapel, at the time of the night-school, Dr. Pond conducts the rehearsal and, on Sunday night, in the Tabernacle of the First Congregational Church, presides at the public service.  The great assembly room is packed with interested listeners who soon become delighted.  After opening devotions, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mr. Voorhees, and his choir, the young brethren proceed with a prayer in the Chinese, then with the Lord’s Prayer in concert, both in English and in Chinese.  Then come songs in solo and in concert, from the Moody and Sankey book, and recitations of Scripture passages.  “Dare to be a Daniel,” was rendered in solo with fine effect as to the music, and especially as to the idea of daring to become Christians in the face of the derision of their pagan friends.  The Ten Commandments, as recited by one, and each responded to in music by the school in the words of the prayer-book, were deeply impressive.  And so was the “Missionary Exercise,” with nine questions by Quon Newy, answered by as many men one after another, Quon Tape, Sam Tai, Quon Dick, Korn Ock, Korn Chow, Korn Zee, Chong Chung, Lee Wing, and Linn Yee.

The characteristic feature of the evening was the address, in good English, of Chin Toy.  Dr. Pond introduced him as having been a shoemaker at San Francisco, who, upon conversion, about to be baptized in his church, was locked into his apartment of the shoeshop by some of his pagan friends, who thought that after the passing of the baptismal occasion of Sunday morning he would get over his desire to be a Jesus man.  So, Sunday afternoon, he was released.  But at
