The Rev. E. W. Burt, of the Baptist mission in Shantung, says
that three men came from a distant village in the hills begging
the missionary to visit them. He expected to find some lawsuit
at the bottom of their eagerness, but instead found a chapel
built and everything ready for a splendid work in their midst.
Three years before a colporteur of the British and Foreign Bible
Society had sold them Bibles, and without any human instruction
they had come to believe in Christ.
