To the Honorable President， Relighted States of China.
Dear Sir，
Perhaps it would be hard for you to realize the intense joy and gratification， it was to me to learn that your God given dream has apparently， at last come to function.Praises be to The God of race and nations in whose hand our every breath is.
Now very glad I was to learn of the great good arising from the promulgation of the simple story of the loyalty to his country of the so-called Father of our Washington! And what a great stimulant toward patriotism it forward to be our brothers in China.
Allow me for the sake of the great love I have toward you and the welfare of China to commend to you our beloved Lincoln and his course， when in great dark ages and under burdens vastly too great for the strength of mortal man during our great endeavor when he looked to the most High God and received that strength and guidance that enable him to accomplish that which has made him the beloved of our country for all time and the marvel of the age.May the infinite God guide you and your beloved country in the right and safe way， may He long preserve and open your life for Chinese great good.
I am sure other Christian men beside myself in America on learning of the sufferings in China from famine rejoiced to contribute of our means for the service， and hoping that our humble efforts in His name may illustrate to our fellow-men his great love and tender care for us all.
Yours for the redemption of China.

致尊敬的中华民国总统。
尊敬的先生：
也许您很难想象，当我得知你们的天赐之梦想最终得以实现，我感到何等强烈的喜悦与满足。荣耀归于掌握各种族和各民族之神，我们的每一呼吸都在他的掌握中。
现在，我感到非常高兴，因为得知，我们的国父华盛顿忠诚于祖国的故事，在中国广为流传，取得了非常好的效果！它极大激发了我们中国兄弟的爱国之心。
为了我对您的大爱和中国的利益，请允许我向您推荐我们敬爱的林肯和他的经历。在大黑暗时代，在我们艰苦奋斗之时，他背负常人难以承受的重担，由于依靠至高之主，得到力量与指引，因之得以在美国长期深受爱戴，并成就时代伟业。愿万能之主引导您和您心爱的祖国走上正确而安全的道路，愿他为中国人民的恒久利益永远维护并弘扬您的生命。
我相信，不只我，其他的美国基督徒，得知中国饥荒的苦难时，也乐于以我们的方式贡献服务，并希望我们以上帝之名的卑微努力，能向我们的同胞展示他的大爱和对我们所有人的垂爱。
祈愿救赎中国！
