lovely article , but I've put up a "tone" template there, as the narrative tone of the ariticle can be adjusted. Now it reads more like a personal account of something. For example (my bold), "In 1807, Robert Morrison of the London Missionary Society reached Canton via America despite the opposition of the British East India Company and the ship's captain (or owner) with his famous sally: "And so, Mr. Morrison, you really expect to make an impression on the idolatry of the great Chinese empire?." Morrison's reply is worth noting: "No, sir, I expect God will." After twenty-five years of intense work he translated the whole Bible and baptized ten Chinese. We associate with him such giants as William Henry Medhurst and Milne (the printers), Samuel Dyer (Hudson Taylor's father-in-law), Gutzlaff (the Prussian linguist), and Parker (China's first medical missionary)."--K.C.
