10 the Editor of the Press:
In the Gorham items Of Friday last. in the
report Of the Helping Hand Society's enter
tainment at my house. the name Of Miss
Toshi Miyagawa, student of Mt. Holyoke
College is given, "Miss Mujagana Of North.
ampton," both name and address being In
correct. Miss Miyagawa is native Of
Japan. She was member of Mr.. Galick's
family and a student and teacher In the
mission school under the auspices of the A.
b. G. f. M, where she gathered together
money enough to pay her passage to this
country in order to more fully complete her
education and prepare herself for a teacher
in her native land, whittier she intends to
return after graduating from her course in
Mt. Holyoke College. She is thoroughly In
earnest In mission work and is adm irably
fitted by nature for the vocation she has
chosen. AT our monthly mission concert the
first Sunday OF July, she gave us a fine &C
count OF the Kobe school, its work and
needs. The last Sunday evening of July,
upon invitation of Mr.. Reynolds, she spoke
at the Congregational church In Gorham on
the Manners and Customs of the Japanese
People," clad in her native costume and
curious wooden shoes. Der talk of forty
minutes was very interesting and was much
enjoyed by all who heard her. She exhibited
photographs and curiosities from her native
land. As an evidence of the favor with
which she was received, Mr.. Reynolds an
nounced at the regular monthly collection
taken the first Sunday of August, one week
after her address, THAT all who wished
to do so could make their Offering for Miss
Miyagawa's benefit" Imagine her surprise
on counting her money to find that she had
received $34. Miss Miyagawa wishes to ex-
tend to those who have so generously helped
her in the work she has undertaken, heI
most heartfelt thanks.
