To hear a filo of Chinese soldiers on the march through a village in the interior of the- country singing one of the psalms in their own tongue was an experience described by Mr Howard Knight to the annual meeting of the .British and Foreign Bible Society at Auckland.

Th' later discovered that the men wore singing the psalm to a Chinese melody, a change which had become fairly popular.
