Student Work Among Chinamen.

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

There has come to the Committee on City Missions of the Christian Association a very urgent call for forty men to teach English in the Chinese Sunday School in the Old Mount Vernon Church, Ashburton place.

Every man will have one Chinaman assigned to him, for whom he is solely responsible. The teaching is slow and sometime tedious in spite of the interest shown by the pupil and needs a patient teacher who will make it a point not to miss a single meeting. But when the apparently dull pupil has once mastered the elements of the language, then the progress is rapid, the Chinaman soon takes up the Bible, and well prepared by patient love of his teacher, he is readily led to grasp the truths of the Christian religion.

There are surely more than forty men in Harvard University ready to spend two hours every Sunday afternoon in this work. Will they please all send their names to the chairman of the committee, E. von Mach, 18 Bowdoin street, who will find a Chinaman for every man who applies.
