ow graciously allowed me to live a good many years outthere, and speak for Him and witness for Him. I havevisited many of the stations, and I know a great many ofthe native believers and missionaries personally, and Ido thank the Lord that He ever led me to think aboutsuch a work. I need not say that the trials and difficulties are notexaggerated, any more than the accounts of the successand happiness of mission-work. We have our fair shareof trials there. There is something about living in con-tact with heathen people, who hardly ever speak the truth,and with lips full of vileness and iniquity, that seems todrag down ones own soul ; but the grace of the LORD issufficient, He can make Himself so precious to you thatyou do not mind those things. Such, then, has been myexperience for the last seven years as a missionary inChina ; and such, I have little doubt, will be the experi-ence of any other believer who is willing to launch forthinto the deep at the Lords command.

SHARLANDS DIARY. QPj V last journal was sent off last August, and since; i then there have been the usual fluctuations inmy school-life, and to which this kind of work in these countries seems yet more subject than in England.There have been trials and joys, meetings and partings,encouragements and discouragements. Evidences ofSatans attempts to upset Gods work ; yet evidences, too—blessed be His Name!—of His help and blessing; markedanswers to prayer ; interventions of His helping hand,without which the whole work must have come to a stand-still ; and, I have every reason to believe, souls savedunto eternal life. Therefore we may well in everythinggive thanks. CONVER
