Bishop Unites Chinese
Ceremony Is Translated
Mission Head Weds Leader
of Chinatown's So
cial Set
Interpreter Repeats Episco-
pal Vows Which Bind
the Pair

Bishop Nichols of the Episcopal
church officiated last night at a Chi
nese wedding
The beautiful ceremony of the Epis-
copal church was translated into Chi
nese at the wedding of Rev. Daniel Gee
Ching Ng and King Yoak. daughter of
Mrs Won wo Of San Francisco.
Rev Mr.. Ng Is In charge of the True
Sunshine mission and head of the Chi
nese work OF the Episcopal church in
San Francisco and Oakland. The fam
lily of King Yoak has a high place
in the society of the Chinese colony
of San Francisco.
Although King Yoak is sufficiently
America nized to forego the oriental
marriage rites for the ceremony of the
Episcopal church, she still clings to
the oriental two piece garb of the
Chinese woman. and was married in
an elaborate oriental costume. The
service as read in English by Bishop
Nichols was repeated in Chinese by an
interpreter
The wedding was more solemn and
impressive than the pure Chinese cere-
mony. Most of the attendants were
Chinese and half of the audience at
Grace Pro-Cathedral was Chinese and
the other half the American friends of
the couple.
Rev. Mr.. Ng is a graduate of the
Church Divinity School of the Pacific
and enjoys the highest confidence OF
his countrymen in Chinatown. He is
often called in as adviser and judge
when there are differences among his
countrymen, and several times has sat
in judgment on questions that caused
trouble among the tongs.
Rev. Mr.. Daniel and Mrs. Ng will
make their home in San Francisco.
