Excerpt from A Chinese St. Francis, or the Life of Brother Mao And our trust is strengthened, as we are again reminded that the one incontrovertible argument for Christianity is a holy life, and see that the growing record of individuals redeemed from heathenism is an apologetic, which rings our ancient faith about as with a wall of fire. At the same time, the absence of faults, for which this life is remarkable, has rendered it somewhat difficult to handle. But, despite the fear lest it should be discredited by the virtues which ought to recommend it, the narrative of Cheng Mao's doings has been put down without reticence or exaggeration. After being verified, wherever that has been practicable, by still existing facts, it has been submitted to the criticism of those who knew him best, and it is hoped that, in Spite of defects in the delineation, the result is a fairly reliable account of a good man.
