To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It seems not unlikely that physical hunger was one of the causes that banished sleep and produced the restlessness that their teachers mistook for the mysterious promptings of the Holy Ghost. The "power" that was felt by persons in another house, and so affected them that they "could do nothing but pray," is interesting as being sug- gestive of a kind of telepathy. "These little child- ren," continues the narrative, "who regularly eat three meals a day and go to bed at 6.30, for ten days or mor...e averaged less than two meals, and were in meeting until midnight or after without any perceptible inconvenience." Any temporary or permanent injury that was being done to the children's health or develop- ment would not necessarily be immediately perceptible. This pathetic story concludes with a request that the children of England and America will join with these Chinese children in prayer for the lost: the "lost" being explained to mean "those who have not even heard." Perhaps it would have been well for the physical and intellectual health of these poor supperless and sleepless children if they, too, had never "heard." Similar stories of revivalism among Chinese school children might be quoted in large numbers, but they are all of much the same character.
