In apost card to aunt Belle the
other day, / asked her to say that
our addgess for the present would
be, care DIR. Carter Holm Jones,
this city, but now we are located for
the months Of July and August, and
our address will be 454O Univer,
sity Boulevard, Seattle, Wash.
Through the kindness of DR..
Jones, who was my pastor in Louis
Vile once, my present pastors
brother, and of Prof. Ober, whose
brothers, g. K. and Frank, you and
Ed. remember, we found out good
deal about the University of Wash
ingtonx here, and now we have
rented q room in one of the Varsity
buildings and as vacation begins
this week, we are to have the free.
dom Of a cam pus of $50 acres-the
most beautiful campus, think, that
ever saw.

lege TILL she went to conduct a girls

like home, to her; and she and are

used to loaf on the old Citadel green
on Saturday, afternoons, except that
we are gping to mostly loaf fol-
couple of months; except that this

tors have insisted that we do, and
we are going to obey orders tol
once.
OF course we have already visited
the China Baptist church down
town, as we'll as DR.. Jones great
church, and of course we are not
going to quit speaking and writing
al together, but we are where so
few know us that we can hide out
from the preachers and the w. NJ.
U. workers, bless their dear hearts,
and think of something else than
China and the Judson Centennial
till we are in good enough health to
90 back to the tremendous task that
awaits us in South China again.
Tell DR.. Jones that his brother
preached great baccalaureate ser
mon before the University last Sun
}, day. This is a great institution
i. with some two hundred professors
and four thousand students.
We in the East and South car
hardly realize what great institu
tions are growing up in the West,
and this big University is an eye
opener to us-and think of two
wayfarers, tired and nerve wracked
from year of public speaking, with
this great campus almost to our
selves, except that summer school
starts here soon-and that Non''
\ bother US.
