Excerpt from China's Millions, 1907: North American Edition
Sunday morning about six o'clock the prayer-meeting began. More people had come in and they kept coming until there were about 800 present. The great majority of them know a number of hymns and they have a natu ral gift for singing and love music. At first they were all over the place, but they took to being conducted as if they were accustomed to it. And after a verse or two I got them all together with a swing, and we did sing. One of the helpers gave a little talk about prayer and then we had prayer, prayer, prayer, one after another, some in Chinese, some in Miao, and some half and half. Sometimes two would start together in different parts of the big building; but it was all right. There was no con fusion, and when we did riot understand, the leading of the Spirit was recognized, and, of course if not intelligible to me it was to others. Perhaps ninety per cent. Of the men understand and speak Chinese. It was seldom in the case of men that we had to depute the examination to natives. But few of the women understand or speak Chinese; yet, strange to say, many of them pray quite intelligently in Chinese. After prayer I spoke briefly to them, telling them how since we had heard of their faith and love we had prayed for them and longed to see them. Now the Lord had answered our prayers and we met face to face.
