1956 Diary - commentary written in 1976

1976 Commentary:
These are the things I wrote about 20 years ago. Today, as I reviewed it, I made a few corrections to my word choices, but the overall theme has not been changed. 20 years ago today, I just graduated from Bible college and started being a full time minister. Therefore the priority of my plan was to be a true minister. Even though three years later, I was displaced by a group of self-righteous evil people (1959 resignation), but in terms of fulfilling my duty as a minister, I did do what my heart wanted - to be a true gospel worker.

Second thing, in terms of financial planning. At that time, my monthly income was 180 hong kong dollars. That shamefully low income did not count for much. At the time, I can only reduce my mailing expenses to stay within my means.

Third point, regarding learning English. My English learning did start in 1956, although my English is still not good enough, but living in the United States, I use English all the time. 20 years is not a short period of time, even though I have not learned English very well, but I still did it according to plan.
