The author tells of the difficulties of establishing a mission, of its daily work, of the travels of the missionary about the country and the multitude of varied things his hands find to do, of the Chinese converts to Christianity and the aid they give, of the work that is done among the Chinese women by women missionaries, of the ravages of the opium habit, and of the movement toward westernization of Chinese education.”—N. Y. Times.
