Charles Li was a very earnest Chinese Christian who also had a successful business. God laid the need of his unsaved countrymen on his heart and Charles decided to give up his business and to devote all his time to the spreading of the gospel. His friends and acquaintances called him mad. And the more so because he had a large family to support. But Charles was firm, and through his preaching many heathen souls were turned from darkness to light. After some years many of these rich business men who had called Charles mad, had lost all their wealth in the civil war, while Charles was still happy in the Lord’s service and in His care.
