Elder Lewis states that, at the date of his letter, all the Elders for the other missions had sailed from San Francisco, and that himself and Elders Stout and Chapman were expecting to sail in a few days from there, for Hong Kong. It is our prayer that these brethren may be enabled to open the doors and windows of the &#8220;Celestial Empire,&#8221; that its inhabitants may be cheered with the celestial light that is now beaming from the heaven of heavens. It will afford us special pleasure to hear from time to time of the progress of the various missions which are now on foot amongst the nations.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!-- AddThis Advanced Settings generic via filter on the_content --><!-- AddThis Share Buttons generic via filter on the_content -->","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In August of 1852 the first missionaries were called to Asia.
