Excerpt from A Narrative of the Conversion of a Chinese Physician: Compiled From Journals and Letters of Missionaries of the Church Missionary Society at Ningpo, and One of Their Catechists
MY dear old friend, whose labour of love it has been to weave out of several scattered documents the following simple narrative, requests me to preface it with a few words of recommendation. I confess that I hardly understand the motive of his request and yet, both on oficial and personal grounds, I feel my self obliged unhesitatingly to comply with it.
