Mr sung is chairman and superintendent of pentecostal mission in hong kong and kowloon . as a devoted christian , he established the s h sung special world service fund to finance the translation , publication and distribution of the bible in various parts of the world 宋先生是一位虔诚的基督徒，现为港九五旬节会主席兼监督，他以宋常康全球服务特殊基金的名义，创设一项基金作为在世界各国以多种语言翻译及出版圣经之用。
But besides his frequent absences , there was another barrier to friendship with him : he seemed of a reserved , an abstracted , and even of a brooding nature . zealous in his ministerial labours , blameless in his life and habits , he yet did not appear to enjoy that mental serenity , that inward content , which should be the reward of every sincere christian and practical philanthropist 他似乎是个生性寡言少语心不在焉沉思默想的人，尽管他对牧师工作非常热情，生活习惯上也无可指摘，但他好像并没有享受到每个虔诚的基督徒和脚踏实地的慈善家应得的酬报：内心的宁静和满足。
However as my jealousy encreased , and held me some weeks , i was a little more circumspect , and not so familiar and kind to him as before ; in which i was certainly in the wrong too , the honest grateful creature having no thought about it , but what consisted with the best principles , both as a religious christian , and as a grateful friend , as appeared afterwards to my full satisfaction 其实，他和从前一样，既忠实，又感恩，根本就没有想到这些事情上去。后来的事实也证明，他既是一位虔诚的基督徒，又是一位知恩图报的朋友。他的这种品质实在使我非常满意。
