After the war was over, the missionaries were permitted to go everywhere
to proclaim the name of the Saviour; and their efforts have been very
much blessed, especially among the Karens. It will be impossible for me
to give you an account of their many labors, and of the many tokens
which they have received of God's favor towards multitudes who have
become followers of the Redeemer. Suffice it to say, that more than six
thousand have been received into the Christian church. One of the native
teachers not long since baptized, on one occasion, three hundred and
seventy-two persons.
Adjoining Burmah, is China, a country containing more than three hundred
millions of people, about twenty times as many as there are in the
United States of America. It is a country filled with idols. Many of the
people earn their living by making and selling these idols. There are
many shops where they are sold, or repaired when they become broken or
defaced.
The females in that country are in a very degraded state. They are the
slaves of their husbands, and live and die in the greatest ignorance.
Any attempt to raise themselves to the level of females in Christian
lands, is considered as very wicked.
