Pastor Hsi was a Confucian scholar, idol-worshipper, and opium addict who met Jesus and underwent total transformation. He devoted his life to helping others through the ministry of opium refuges, and to the organic growth of the self-sustaining, Chinese-led Christian church. One discouraging day, Pastor Hsi had a dream.

From the Prologue, "In the darkest days the Hwochow Church has known, when many forsook their faith, he was strengthened by a dream, in which he saw a tree cut down to the ground, only to sprout again, and throw out branches stronger than before." This book tells the story of the work in Hwochow, and gives the account of the carrying on of the spiritual labour of the remarkable Pastor Hsi, and of the fulfilment of his dream.

Missionary and prolific author, Mildred Cable, skillfully tells the story of the fulfillment of this dream during Pastor Hsi's lifetime and beyond. First published in 1917, this must-read Christian classic has been refreshed for a new audience.
