Philadelphia about missionary work.
Il am very hopeful of it, he said.
"I may be little too hopeful be-
cause l have had such good success.
1t is better, though, to be too hope
full than too doubling.
Much depends upon the character
of the people one works among, and
can sympathize little with mis-
sionary who returned home from
China in a very despondent mood.

to him the next morning to learn
how to wind it up.''-Boston Globe
