Life and Light for Woman, Vol. 34

Excerpt from Life and Light for Woman, Vol. 34: 1904 The Presbyterian Mission in Canton was founded ten years ago. During the first few years Rev. Fulton baptized less than forty converts. Dur ing the last four years nearly a thousand have been baptized. In less than two years Mr. Fulton has baptized eight hundred and seventy men and women, and one hundred and three children. In the whole Canton field the adult baptisms of the mission in 1903 number about eleven hundred. The rapid growth of the Chinese postal service is indicative of the open ing of that long-closed country to the world outside.. The postal matter forwarded in 1901 amounted to five million items, and in 1902 to eleven million. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
