SOME Holy Missionaries¹ in China having been deprived of life by the
Bigoted² Heathens, the Christian³ Press made a note of it, and was
greatly pained to point out the contrast between the Bigoted
Heathens and the law-abiding countrymen of the Holy Missionaries
who had wickedly been sent to eternal bliss⁴.

"Yes," assented⁵ a Miserable⁶ Sinner, as he finished reading the
articles, "the Heathens of Ying Shing are deceitful above all
things and desperately⁷ wicked. By the way," he added, turning over
the paper to read the entertaining and instructive Fables⁸, "I know
the Heathenese lingo⁹. Ying Shing means Rock Creek¹⁰; it is in the
Province of Wyo Ming."
