ened naked bodies,&quot; they were met to their as 

 tonishment, by a choir of one hundred of their 

 own nation, chanting the anthem &quot;How beautiful 

 upon the mountains.&quot; 



Two brief, further, quotations must bring this 

 stimulating record to a close. 



The first is the Indian s prayer on hearing of 

 the massacre of the Stewart Band of Missionaries 

 at Kucheng, China. &quot;Say again, dear Jesus, 

 Father forgive them, for they know not what 

 they do. O gracious Spirit, Thou art not 

 quenched by blood. Let it make Thy garden 

 soil strong to grow Chinese believers in.&quot; 



The second concerns the honoured founder of 

 the North Pacific Mission Admiral Prevost. 

 &quot;He died beloved and respected by all who knew 

 him. Only a few months before died the Hydah 

 Chief Gowhoe, to whom, thirty years previously, 

 he had given a Testament with this inscription 

 on the fly-leaf: From Capt. Prevost, H.M.S. 

 Satellite, trusting that the bread cast upon the 

 waters may be found after many days.&quot;
