CHINA.
There is no country in the world like China.
How different it is from Persia, where there are so few people; whereas China is crowded with inhabitants!
How different it is from England, where the people are instructed in the Bible, whereas China is full of idols.
China is a heathen country; yet it is not a savage country, for the people are quiet, and orderly, and industrious.
It would be hard for a child to imagine what a great multitude of people there are in China.
