     Now, I will mention another fact which has just come under my notice. One of our native evangelists left us on Monday last for Huangpi, a city distant from Hankow only twenty or thirty miles. He returned last night, and came to see me early this morning. He has brough bakc with him two printed copies of one of the Hunan publications, which is now being printed and actively circulated in the city of Huangpi through the medium of the pawn-shops....At the beginning of last year one of our converts in Hunan sent me a printed copy of this book, so there can be no doubt as to its origin. It is written in fluent mandarin, and is entitled, Death to the Devils' Religion (鬼教該死). Of all the Hunan publications, I do not know one more violent, more abusive, more filthy, or more inflammatory than this. It finishes up with a song, which is committed to memory by the children of Huangpi, and sung in the streets. I felt inclined for a moment to give you a translation of this song. But it is impossible ; it is too dirty and vile for your columns.
