They travelled to and fro teaching, and formed a society of "God-worshippers." The first convert, Fung-yun-san, became its most ardent missionary and its disinterested preacher.

Hung-sew-tseuen returned home, went to Canton, and there met Mr.Roberts, an American missionary, who was induced by false charges to refuse him Christian baptism.

But he, without being offended with Mr.Roberts, went home and taught his converts how to baptize themselves.

The society of "God-worshippers" increased in number.
Some of them were arrested for destroying idols, and among them Fung-yun-san, who, however, on his way to prison, converted the policemen by his side.

These new converts set him at liberty and went away with him as his disciples.
