" This sketch covers but a limited portion of our great
work, but it shows the relations it bears to its surroundings in the
public life of the South. Our churches in this district are prosperous,
and we are gratified to say that the promise of church extension over our
wider districts is very encouraging. Eight new churches will be added to
our list immediately among the colored people, and others still are
expected soon to be added. In the mountain work, also, five new churches
will be added to our enrollment.
The next number of THE AMERICAN MISSIONARY will contain an extended
article, with illustrations, on our mountain work, hence nothing appears
in this number regarding this field.
FRIGHT AT A CAMERA.
Our readers will find in the account given on another page, of street
preaching in Chinatown, the statement that a large crowd was gathered in
the street, but when the picture is examined the crowd seems very small.
Loo Quong gives this account of the matter: "A big crowd was gathered to
us soon after we sang some hymns, but as soon as the photographer on sight
they all ran away. Chinese do not want their pictures to be taken on the
street. They all ran to the other side of the street and I told the man to
take them there, but they all ran away, too. Still some of them are
taken."
