Halaman 187 - Let the rude barbarian, see That divine and glorious conquest Once obtained on Calvary : Let the gospel Loud resound, from pole to pole.
Halaman 56 - The common sailors receive from the captain nothing but dry rice, and have to provide for themselves their other fare, which is usually very slender. These sailors are not, usually, men who have been trained up to their occupation ; but wretches, who were obliged to flee from their homes ; and they frequently engage for a voyage before they have ever been on board a junk.

They are the slaves and concubines of their masters ; live and die in ignorance, and every effort to raise themselves above the rank assigned them, is regarded as impious arrogance.

Halaman 61 - ... judgment, for having paid more attention to their dumb idols, than we have to the worship of the living and true God. The Chinese sailors are, generally, as intimated above, from the most debased class of people. The major part of them are opiumsmokers, gamblers, thieves, and fornicators. They will indulge in the drug till all their wages are squandered ; they will gamble as long as a farthing remains ; they will put off their only jacket and give it to a prostitute. They are poor and in debt...
Halaman 131 - Chinese manufactures, but some also with European commodities — trade seemed to be brisk. The town, which stretches several miles along the banks of the river, equals Canton in the bustle of its busy population, and surpasses it in the importance of its native trade. The streets are unpaved, and the houses are built of mud ; but within they are well furnished, with accommodations in the best Chinese style. A great many of the shopkeepers, and some...
Halaman xxix - Chinese females, and consequent unamiableness of wives, exhorts husbands not to desist from teaching them, for even " monkeys may be taught to play antics ; dogs may be taught to tread a mill ; rats may be taught to run round a cylinder ; and parrots may be taught to recite verses ; since then it is manifest that even birds and beasts may be taught to understand human affairs, how much more so may young wives, who, after all, are human beings.
Halaman xvii - Limie, whilst watching his cattle in the field, always had his book at hand, suspended to the horn of a cow. " Sun-king suspended his head by its hair to the beam of the house, to prevent his sleeping over his books...
Halaman 124 - This lively hope of China's speedy deliverance from the thraldom of Satan by the hand of our great Lord, Jesus Christ — the King of kings, to whom all nations, even China, are given as an inheritance, constantly prompts me to action, and makes me willing rather to perish in the attempt of carrying the gospel to China, than to wait quietly on the frontiers, deterred by the numerous obstacles which seem to forbid an entrance into the country.
Halaman xxii - Chinese language is now read by a population of different nations, amounting to a large proportion of the human race, and over a very extensive geographical space,—from the borders of Russia on the north, throughout Chinese Tartary on the west, and in the east as far as Kamschatka; and downwards through Corea and Japan, in the Loo Choo Islands...
