Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Mission Methods in Manchuria
HE year 18 74 began with three baptized men as the nucleus of the present Presbyterian Church in Manchuria. The year 1900 began with more than persons on the rolls of the Church, either as baptized members, or as accepted applicants for baptism. Probably half as many more, related to these by family ties, had abandoned idolatry and considered themselves connected in a sort of fashion with the Christian Church. Ten times as many had acquired such an elementary knowledge of Christian doctrine as to lead them to regard it with respect, many of them declaring that Christianity must be the future religion of the Chinese.
