ter his crucifixion there is no
more offering required. That is the reason why the Christians do
not offer sacrifice, and why I do not worship in this manner. For
no one deserves our worship but God alone. I only honor the
ancestors with my heart. I love them just as much as you do
yourselves.

When they heard this explanation, they were greatly surprised. Then
they spoke among themselves by saying, "His doctrine is good; this
is all news to us; our Confucius books never tell us about the
origin of sacrifice." This seemed to break down their pride a great
deal, and after this they shew great willingness to listen to the
Word of Life. Oh! how I long to have them learn of Jesus and become
His followers. I not only pray for them, but every one in our
village. May the Lord bless the seed sown in their hearts.
Moreover, may He enlighten every soul in China. Yours in Christ,
CHIN TOY.
