Huang Yangying, trans. Jitan Qian [=Before the Altar], with Foreword by Basil Roberts, Bishop of Singapore, 1938

See Jitan Qian.

This short devotional manual Before the Altar, written by Robert Wilson, was translated into Chinese by Rev. Huang Yangying in 1938 at Christ Church, Malacca. Bishop Basil Robert commendation of this work in his Foreword was revealing of the ethos and priorities in the Diocese of Singapore in the time shortly before the Pacific War. First, the handbook is meant to be part of the wider effort in translating "standard works of theology and devotion in the languages of the 'younger Churches'. Second, the handbook offers "the right approach to [the] solemn and precious mysteries" for Christian people.
