Their true monument is the Chinese Bible and the Chinese Y 338 LIFE OF REV. WILLIAM C. BURNS. [1847. College,^ and the enduring memory of that "work of faith and labour of love and patience of hope" in the midst of all discouragements and difficulties, by which, though dead, they yet speak to all that follow after them, and which ...shall be remembered to their honour in that day "when they that sowed and they that reaped sh'all rejoice together."
