CHILDHOOD IN A CHRISTIAN HOME

Among the earliest converts to Christianity in South China was Hue Yong Mi, the son of a military mandarin of Foochow.  He had been a very devout Buddhist, whose struggles after spiritual peace, and whose efforts to obtain it through fasting, sacrifice, earnest study, and the most scrupulous obedience to all the forms of Buddhist worship, remind one strongly of the experiences of Saul of Tarsus.  Like Saul too, Hue Yong Mi was, before his conversion, a vigorous and sincere opponent of Christianity.  When his older brother became a Christian, Hue Yong Mi felt that his casting away of idols and abolishing of ancestral worship were crimes of such magnitude that the entire family “ought all with one heart to beat the drum and drive him from the house.”  He tells of finding a copy of the Bible in his father’s bookcase one day, and how, in sudden rage, he tore it to pieces and threw the fragments on the floor, and then, not satisfied with destroying the book, wished that he had some sharp implement with which to cut out “the hated name Ya-su, which stared from the mutilated pages.”
