来自山东的消息。
山城--上个月在这里受洗的四位候选人中
上个月在这里受洗的四位候选人中,所有的人都已经参加了三年的礼拜。
都已经参加了三年以上的礼拜。
逾三年。一个人已经来了六年,另一个人已经来了五年。有一个被除名的人在参加了九年之后又回来了。一位七十岁的老人
的老人,非常清楚和果断地作了见证。我为他感到颤抖,因为他所受的教导太少了(他住的地方离这里只有一天路程)。
但他自己读过圣经,显然理解并相信福音。受洗的一位女士让我们感到惊讶。
一位受洗的妇女也让我们感到惊讶,因为她清楚地回答了向她提出的问题。
她对向她提出的问题的清晰回答
清楚地回答了我们的问题。几个月前,她的丈夫
几个月前,她的丈夫反对福音,在一个星期天的早上让她去买一些蔬菜。她说她不能,因为今天是星期天。他勃然大怒,冲到传道人家里,告诉他
他大发雷霆,冲到传道人的家里,告诉他禁止他的妻子参加礼拜。
他的妻子参加礼拜,因为她
不听他的话。传道人听了这个人的抱怨后,对他说,他的妻子是个好女人,即使是外国传教士也不能为她做什么。
甚至外国传教士也不能禁止她来。那人回家了,我们担心那女人

Tidings from Shan-tung.
Shan-tsing.—Of the four candidates
baptized here this last month all had been
attending services for three years and
over. One has been coming for six years and another for five years. One man ex- amined was put back after nine years' attendance. One old man, seventy years
of age, gave his testimony very clearly and decidedly. I rather trembled for him as he has had so little teaching (he
lives a short day's journey away), but he had read the Bible for himself and evidently understood and believed the Gospel. The
one woman baptized surprised us, too, by
her clear answers to the questions put to
her. A few months ago her husband, who
is opposed to the Gospel, asked her on a Sunday morning to buy some vegetables. She said she could not as it was Sunday. He fell into a rage and rushed over to the
evangelist's house and told him to forbid
his wife attending worship as she would
not listen to him. After listening to the man's grievance, the evangelist said to him that his wife was a good woman and
not even the foreign missionary could for- bid her coming. The man went back home and we were afraid the woman
would be in trouble. But she came in quietly after dinner and said that her husband had been about the house all the morning in his temper, but towards noon he became quieter and she knew by
his manner that he would not scold her
if she did come to service, though she
dare not speak to him. Another time she did not know his mind
about her coming, but after prayer a thought occurred to her. Asitwas raining, she would ask him where the umbrella
was, although she knew where it was. So
she asked him, without looking at him. "The boy has taken it," he replied. " There is another somewhere," she said. "There it is in the corner," he re- plied, not roughly, so she knew she was
free to attend service that day. We sent to get his consent to her being
baptized, as we did not want her to get
into any trouble. It would have been
better for her to wait than make more dis- cord in the house. He sent word that he had been expecting for some time that she would join the church, and he was
very pleased for her to come into fellowship. We praise the Lord for "the drops," while looking for the showers. One old
lady, seventy-eight years of age, and
blind, is wanting baptism, and will likely be baptized with another promising en- quirer early in the spring. Please pray
for Shang-tsing.
