Excerpt from The Story of the Fuh-Kien Mission: Of the Church Missionary Society Say unto Tyrus, O thou that art situate at the entry of the sea, which art a merchant of the people for many isles, Thus saith the Lord God; O Tyrus, thou hast said, I am of perfect beauty... Behold, therefore, I will bring strangers upon thee, ... and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom. - Ezek. xxvii. 3, xxviii. 7. The sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. - Eph. vi. 17. I cling to yon crowded city, Though I shrink from its woe and sin. Bonar. If we sail up the south-eastern coast of China, from Hong-Kong, we come about four hundred miles further to the mouth of a large river called the Min, which, with its tributaries, waters nearly the whole of the great province of Fuh-Kien, comprising a territory as large as Ireland, and three times as populous. Let us in imagination ascend this noble stream. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
