A Lin has wavered back and forth&#13;
at first she was 7/10 a believer. Then she&#13;
gradually veered around to 7/10 the&#13;
other way, her daughter A Tsit has&#13;
never faltered in her allegiance&#13;
When the school closed for this vacation&#13;
ALin went with Hoong Sin Shang to&#13;
Hong Kong, and she said to her that&#13;
perhaps she would "[u] get it [/u]," and then&#13;
of course she and her daughter&#13;
would not come back to teach in&#13;
the T.L.S. She went to stay for&#13;
a few days with her sister-in-law who&#13;
is the wife of a wealthy Chinese Christian.&#13;
She had been attending the Meetings&#13;
for weeks every evening from six-o-clock&#13;
until midnight, and was deeply&#13;
involved. She had given a great deal &#13;
of money, food, and a sewing machine&#13;
&amp;c &amp;c to these "[u] Missionaries [/u]".&#13;
Her husband had just returned &#13;
from a tour around the world, and&#13;
he did not approve, and told her&#13;
they would just pray together at&#13;
home, but she at once went into the&#13;
most dreadful state of hysterics, and it&#13;
seemed as though she had lost her&#13;
reason entirely. They were devoted to&#13;
each other and her husband was&#13;
greatly distressed. She was distressed &#13;
for his unbelief, and was really wild&#13;
would seize him by the head with&#13;
both hands, and shake him.&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
&#13;
20 阿琳起初摇摆不定，&#13;
她是 7/10 的信徒。&#13;
然后她逐渐转向7/10，&#13;
她的女儿A Tsit从来没有动摇过她的忠诚当学校因这个假期关闭时，&#13;
Alin和Hoong Sin Shang一起去了香港，&#13;
她对她说也许她会“明白了，&#13;
”然后她和她的女儿当然不会回来在 T.L.S. 教书。&#13;
她去和她的嫂子住了几天，&#13;
嫂子是一个富有的中国基督徒的妻子。&#13;
从每天晚上六点到午夜，&#13;
她都参加了几个星期的会议，&#13;
并且深深地参与其中。&#13;
她给了这些“传教士”很多钱、食物、缝纫机等。&#13;
她的丈夫刚刚环游世界回来，&#13;
他不同意，&#13;
并告诉她他们在家一起祈祷，&#13;
但她立刻进入了最可怕的歇斯底里状态，&#13;
似乎她已经输了完全是她的理由。&#13;
他们彼此忠诚，&#13;
她的丈夫非常苦恼。&#13;
她心疼他的不信，&#13;
真狂野的会用双手抓住他的头，&#13;
摇晃他。</text>
