y every feasible ministry, are confirming the
judgment of one of our pastors that these lady missionaries are their
"Evidences of Christianity."

The other anniversary was that of our mission at San Diego--Miss M.M.
Elliot, the missionary teacher, and Chin Toy, the helper. Rev. W. C.
Pond, D.D., of San Francisco, the Superintendent of our Chinese work,
which he takes in addition to the pastoral care of the Bethany Church,
had come down for his annual visitation of the missions in Southern
California. In the Mission Chapel, at the time of the night-school, Dr.
Pond conducts the rehearsal and, on Sunday night, in the Tabernacle of
the First Congregational Church, presides at the public service. The
great assembly room is packed with interested listeners who soon become
delighted. After opening devotions, conducted by the pastor, Rev. Mr.
Voorhees, and his choir, the young brethren proceed with a prayer in the
Chinese, then with the Lord's Prayer in concert, both in English and in
Chinese. Then come songs in solo and in concert, from the Moody and
Sankey book, and recitations of Scripture passages. "Dare to be a
Daniel," was rendered in solo with fine effect as to the music, and
especially as to the idea of daring to become Christians in the face of
the derision of their pagan friends. The Ten Commandments, as recited by
one, and each responded to in music by the school in the words of the
prayer-book, were deeply impressive. And so was the "Missionary
Exercise," with nine questions by Quon Newy, answered by as many men one
after another, Quon Tape, Sam Tai, Quon Dick, Korn Ock, Korn Chow, Korn
Zee, Chong Chung, Lee Wing, and Linn Yee.

The characteristic feature of the evening was the address, in good
English, of Chin Toy. Dr. Pond introduced him as having been a shoemaker
at San Francisco, who, upon conversion, about to be baptized in his
church, was locked into his apartment of the shoeshop by some of his
pagan friends, who thought that after the passing of the baptismal
occasion of Sunday morning he would get over his desire to be a Jesus
man. So, Sunday afternoon, he was released. But at night he appeared at
the Bethany and was baptized into Christ. He is now with Loo Quong, an
A.M.A. evangelist, and at present is serving as "helper" at the San
Diego mission. His address was a logical and eloquent setting forth of
the difficulties in the way of the Chinese becoming Christians; and, at
the end, it was an appeal to Ame
