1 Timothy 1:8-10 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;… A Chinese correspondent of the New York "Christian Weekly" sends some instances of how Chinese preachers meet questions and preach, of which the following is one: — "Bishop Russell, of Ningpo, recently told us of a helper of his who was preaching on the Ten Commandments, when a man suddenly entered and walked rapidly forward to the desk. 'What have you got there?' he asked in a loud voice. The helper immediately replied, 'I have a foot-rule of ten inches' (the Chinese foot has ten inches, as the foot everywhere ought to have), 'and if you will sit down I will measure your heart.' And he proceeded with his ten-inch rule to show how 'short' his hearers were according to God's measure."
