LETTER FROM MR. DOTY, SEPTEMBER 16, 1852. The Rebellion. nated by the opposing party. It is also reported that they have books concerning Jesus among them, which are regarded as sacred, and that a war of extermination is waged against idols and the temples. It may be that we have in these facts one of the reasons, perhaps the chief, for the increased jealousy of foreigners manifested by our young Emperor and his government. And this state of things may operate against the contemplated extension of our mission to the city of Chiang-chiu, if it does not ultimately affect us unfavorably in this place. Thus far, however, there are no special grounds to fear the latter result. CONTRADICTORY reports have been brought to this country, in regard to the insurrection which has broken out in one of the provinces of China. Among the people of that empire it seems to be very difficult to ascertain the truth in such matters; it is not strange, therefore, that we should receive statements that are not easily reconcilable. Even at Amoy, Mr. Doty says, there are no certain means of information which are accessible to the missionaries; and nearly all that is known there, has been gathered up from But we think it requires no spirit of various reports. Still the Chinese in that city prophecy to foresee, that very much, in suppose the rebellion to be of a formidable char-reference to the future spread of the acter. This is inferred from the fact, that soldiers have been drafted from the surrounding region to assist in putting down the insurgents.

The attendance upon the means of grace in the church at Amoy is reported as having been good; but in the chapel connected with the dwelling of Mr. Talmage it has not been so in all cases. A number of females are regular worshipers in the sanctuary; and several have asked to be enrolled among the people of God. A prayer meeting, conducted by Mrs. Doty, is sustained with interest. of our church member. Several others in the family were seized; but their lives were spared. During this time of sickness and distress, our native brother sent to their necessities from his earnings of three dollars a month. In the course of two or three weeks a messenger arrived with the sad tidings, that his father had been suddenly cut down, and his afflicted mother wished him to hasten to her. He went; and during his absence he seems to have done what he could to spread the knowledge of the gospel in his native village. Nor could he do this without encountering the spirit of persecution. A young man was baptized in March, having lost his employment and means of living several months before, on ac- What may have been the real effect count of his firm purpose to keep the upon the old man's mind of the truths he Sabbath holy.

Even when we felt called upon, as an act of common humanity, to relieve his immediate and pressing need, he at first refused the offered aid, saying that his sufferings were of no consequence, and his life was of no value. A place was given him in one of our families. to learn the state of affairs. He found such a preparation as opened to him a wide door, and gave him an excellent opportunity to make known the gospel. Being a stranger, he was more readily listened to than the fellow-villager. Encouraging attention was given; and when they left, on their return to Amoy, the people urged them to come again and preach the gospel. He is a praying man, and his walk is a pleasant exhibition of the doctrines of Christ. He is a younger son and brother of a family residing about two days from Amoy. Previously to his admission to the church, and during the Chinese new-the year holidays, he visited his father's Mr. house, and made known his convictions of truth, and his purpose to renounce all connection with the prevalent idolatry, and to join himself to the Lord. What he told his parents and family, had the effect to obtain their consent; and it caused his aged father, shortly after his baptism, to come to Amoy and spend some ten days in listening to the gospel. It proved the old man's only and last opportunity. Soon after his return to his home, a malignant and very fatal epidemic visited that region. Deaths became so numerous, that coffins could not be supplied there, and makers of the Another Case of Interest. Of A second baptism occurred in August. individual who was the subject of the rite, Doty writes as follows: The other young man who has recently been received into the church, is a native of the city of Chiang-chiu, the place where we desire to establish an out-station. He did a small business there as a money-changer. He had a partner who obtained possession of all the money, excepting a few dollars, and absconded. Our young friend came to Amoy, in search of his missing partner and money, and heard the gospel for the first time. His attention appears to have been arrested very soon. It was not long before he left caring for his lost |
