CHINESE.
The following letter was written by a young man who was converted in our Chinese school in Salt Lake City. It is a notification to his teacher of his arrival in China. It is interesting as a suggestion of the far-reaching influences of our Chinese work:
HONG KONG, China, April 5, 1896.
DEAR FRIEND MRS. M.E. JONES:
I have arrived here on Sunday 5th of this month, and was very fine trip. This ship is very swistest [sic], because it is large and strong.
