Many have said to me that winter
is bad time to 60 travelling. But
the easy reply is that to flee from
such a winter is the very thing to
do.
Two days in New York are not
too much in which to lay in the
various articles you need for the
proposed journey. Among them
you are strangely affected by a
letter of credit which reads pounds
instead of dollars. And when you
part with bundle Of g1renbaeks
for clinking handful Of uapoleonS
you feel more strangely still. l
never before realized how much Of
the home feeling there is in the
money to which l have all my life
been accustomed, and how ,xbMg-

The hour of sailing is painful
hour. You are parting from all
you love. You are going off to
unknown lands and far away
scenes. The heart sinks. the lip
trembles, the eyes fill, and your
nerves threaten to give way.
Happy for you then if dear friends
are at you side to speak words of
cheer, to give you warm hand
grasps and to wave you adieuS
from the shore as long As you
remain in sight. Did it mean all
this for Paul? 1t Certainly meant
all this for me- that my dear
brothers. A Mclean (who was in
the city attending missionary
conference and 5. T.Willis. pastor
of the Morristained church. &C
companied me to the ship. Theirs
were the last familiar faces my
eyes rested on as for the first time
in my life parted from my native
land. And like unto their friendly
presence were the letters. tele.
