There stood a man with two horses. His story was that he had been sent by his master, who was none other than the magistrate of Pingshun County, the night before and had traveled all night over the mountains to come and get us to go and take care of the magistrate’s wife who had been in labor, unable to deliver, for two whole days.[...] The fact is that we had been hoping and praying for some months that our missionaries might find an opening into the County of Pingshun, about thirty-five miles to the east of Luan in Shansi, province of North China.
