nm from doing what he could in the
cause for which he was selected. AS

formation as to what term of years he
VIII be expected To serve. and he hard
~ likes Tor various reasons to commit
himself TO Il contract to remain in
China for the five year term which II
Is thought he would be chosen for.
Speaking of that Mr.. Fishburn said he
would be willing were another man
selected To accompany him to China
ana remain there for Il year or two de
voting his time and energy to assist
ing him in any way possible without
cost to the church
Mr.. Fishburns first notification that
his name WAS being considered came
from Rev. Collins Denny, ID. D. of
vanderbilt University at Nashville. DE-.
Denny spoke glowingly of Shanghai
ana the pleasant features of the field
IN which he would labor. lie thought
he would not necessarily have to learn
the Chinese language and suggested
that he would be materially aided by-
The missionaries now there. DR. Denny
said that of course he would not go
ahead until the present disturbances in
China have been quoted. He thought
this would not require a protractcd de-
lay. The territory to he carried en-
braces China. Japan and Korea with
Headquarters ut Shanghai where all
employees needed could be found IT

Mr.. Fishburn. 1t stated that he had
been selected from among many and
after the most careful consideration of
the qualities necessary for the best dis
charge of the duties Of so important

choice came as Il complete surprise to
Mr.. FiShburn MS he had not the slight
est animation that he was even
thought of in this connection This

i'll recent years TO cvangelistic work
and is most powerful factor in the
growth of Mcthodism in this section of
the state. He IS also tho head Of some
of the largest business interests in Nir-
ginia.
