Excerpt from Illustrious Chinese Christians: Biographical Sketches The China of today is ignorant of her chief glory - the strong and beautiful Christian characters of some of her children. To make their acquaintance has been to us a source of delight and inspiration. We thought the world ought to know of these some of the choicest spirits of Christian annals; while the church will rejoice in the renewed evi dence of the growing strength of Christianity, and the saving power of divine truth.
