Two pioneer missionaries walked all day through the streets of a little town, far away in the interior of China where foreigners had hardly ever been seen. They were giving away tracts and speaking to the people about the only true God and the only Saviour. They met with no encouragement, although crowds were gathering all the time to have a look on the strange “foreign devils,” as they called them. They were rather disheartened when, toward evening, they turned to leave the town and the crowds behind them. They saw a boy in his teens following them. He approached them and wanted to know more about the Lord Jesus. There was just one soul ready to listen to the gospel, but the day’s work was not in vain.
