My dear friends, I hope you will not forget to pray for China, that all may be brought to believe in the true God. Let us remember the promise, “Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost part of the earth for thy possession.”
THE MAY REPORTS.
I add the following item, clipped from The Pacific of June 8th:
The monthly reports for May from the various mission schools of the California Chinese mission are very encouraging. The work is larger and, as we gladly believe, better than ever before—more schools, more teachers, more pupils, and, we trust, many souls seeking Christ. The statistics are as follows: Schools, 14; teachers and helpers, 27; pupils enrolled, 566; of whom 190 were received during May, against 68 who left the schools. The aggregate average attendance was 314. Since the beginning of the present fiscal year (Sept. 1, 1880), 1,245 pupils have been enrolled. Of the pupils now in the schools, 136 are reported as giving evidence of conversion.
