Of late also religious services have been held in the hall of the hospital, and the patients while wait- ing there, have appeared to be much interested in hearing the Gospels read, and they discuss the statements therein made in regard to the Mission of Christ, and Man's salvation through Him. When patients have asked what was the purpose of the hospital, it has been told them, that those who believe in the reli- gion of Christ are enjoined to benefit their fellow-men, as they have opportunity,—and that as He went about everywhere doing good, healing the sick and teaching the people, so his disciples in humble imitation of His example, endeavour to heal the sick and spread abroad the truths of His holy religion, which ascribes Glory to God in the highest, and preaches peace on earth and good will to men. May the Divine blessing rest on this and all other efforts to pro- mote the benefit and welfare of the Chinese people, and may they be thereby led to know and believe in Him, who is the Life of the World. Should this be the result in any case of the labours connected with the hospital in Peking, to God be all the praise.
