I Remember John Sung

Chinese Pastor Declared Dr. Sung Insulted Him

      The Chinese pastor was less easy to persuade.  He claimed that when he called on Dr. Sung, and had waited a long time for him to come, Sung had merely said, "Hao, hao," (Yes, yes) and went on upstairs.  I told him how much time Dr. Sung gave daily to the Bible and intercession, and that he didn't have time for more conversation.  But he wouldn't be mollified.

      However, Bishop Ward, just elected, whom the pastor admired, favored Dr. Sung, which helped greatly.  Finally, some of this pastor's church-members were healed in Dr. Sung's healing meeting, and this changed his attitude.  But Dr. Sung bewailed the Nanking meeting as a failure, because there were only 600 seekers, and he was accustomed to 1000 to 1500 or more in a week.

       During the Nanking series in May 1937, Dr. Sung preached one day on Acts 16.  As usual, he had the great congregation of 2000 or more read each verse aloud.  Then, after the exposition of each verse, he had us sing "More Love to Thee, O Christ." Part way through the sermon he had us sing another chorus which showed how our love for Christ would give us a concern for our own family's salvation.  Then back to "More Love to Thee, O Christ," because our first love and loyalty should be to our Lord.  Here are some notes taken during that service:
