Excerpt from Chang: The Royalist and Rebel This little volume contains a true story from China. Chang is a real character, who has for years aided the translating committee of the British and Foreign Bible Society in rendering the scriptures into Chinese. I have put his story in verse, and have amplified it so far as to make him give a brief exposition of Confucianism, and a few more facts in regard to Gen. Gordon and the Tae-ping Rebellion, than his original narrative contained. These I have taken from trustworthy authorities. In all other essential points Chang's story is as he related it eight years ago to my husband. Rev. C. T. Collyer, who was at that time engaged in work of the British and Foreign Bible Society in Shanghai. My imagination created the evening of despondency with which the story opens, as descriptive of those times which often oppress a missionary in a heathen land, and I have made the coming of Chang at that particular time as the source of encouragement needed. The incidents in Bible Society work, the imprisonment and expulsion from a large city, the hearts of whose people were afterwards strangely stirred by five copies of the Gospel left among them, were true experiences of my husband.
