With regard to my last letter concerning the anti-foreign matter contained it a certain tract, I did not wish to mention the name of the Tract Society concerned until Iliad heard from their representative on the subject, for ib seemed to me probable that such literature was getting through by inadvertence not of intention, although the tract has been in circulation for a number of years. The following note from the secretary of the Tract Society shows that this is the case and that this particular tract will be attended to shortly "Have nat read No. 310, but the pages you kindly refer to are pretty bad. One wonders however tle editorial committee let them pass. I will draw their attention to these pages."
My intention in writing at length regarding this tract, "China's need of Jesus Christ" was to inform those who might have stocks of it on hand and who might perhaps be distributing it without having knowledge of some parts of its contents.
Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
