Excerpt from Princeton Work in Peking
The fact that this enterprise is to be concerned so largely with the student and literati class attaches toit the greatest possible importance, for in China the student class wields an enormous influence. From their ranks come all the officials and leaders.
The need of these young men presents a convincing appeal for a ministry of practical helpfulness. With the exception of the modern educational advantages enjoyed by a few hundreds of young men, they are virtually without the means of physical, intellectual and religious education, and are destitute of up lifting social environment. The forces of evil are intensely active and vigorous on every hand, and are accomplishing with deadly effect their work of blasting character and enslaving men in sin.
