All money was offered up at the shrine of the golden idol set up by the Indian Govermert. It distressed me sorely to see those two little bays there, waiting far into the right for the opium smeking to finish. Then all of a heap they tried to sicep, but I could hear one of the boys crying and moaning now and again. Oh, the misery this opium has brought to China! and it is too firmly entrenched now, to be swept away except by mighty workings on the part of our God. We are hoping soon to see the Indian opiums stopped, and then we must enter on another crusade to persunda England to make amends to China for the awful cause she has brought on this great fand. Possibly this will be harder work than Hard or not, we must never cease in our crusade the stepping of the poppy growth in India:.} till the whole world is evilrely freed from the opium slavery.
"We are a band of us here constantly praying for ruccess, and the God who loves China and Indi, and died for their peoples, will surely give what we ask for, Once let the Christian Church see what a blight opium brings, and it will with righteous indignation sweep it away and all that support it."
