I Remember John Sung

Dr. Sung's Criticism of Missionaries

       While Dr. Sung was in the hospital in Peiping, and I was living in Shanghai, some of the Fukien Missionaries in Shanghai asked me to take his wife to Peiping, as I was going there anyway to hold meetings.  Mrs. Sung went with me, to see him, and of course I visited him in the hospital.  At that time he said to me with tears, “Oh, Mr. Schubert, God has been dealing with me. God tells me that I have been too critical of missionaries.” I replied, “No, Dr. Sung, we needed it; I think it was of God that you found fault with us.” He insisted, “No, you left your homes and families, and your own land, and made great sacrifices to preach the Gospel in China, and yet I criticized you.” So he said, “I ask you, on behalf of the missionaries, to forgive me.” So he showed his humility.
