My Dear Ones at Home:
Another week is drawing to close.
II is q busy oneE as we are getting
ready to 60 to conference. I2have been
working on my talks. Have two al
most ready have one more to get
into shape and then my reports. MY
wardrobe needs some attention, but it
probably won't get it. However, thai
isn't one OF the essentials. Miss Jones
got through with the last day school
trip on Monday SO we have been to-
gether since then. This year the pas
tors of the district have asked us to
svperintend the Sunday school work
of the entire island That means that
one of us must be away from home ey-
cry Sunday. so far the experiment
seems to be worth while. Some of the
pastors have felt that they could not
have Sunday schools, but lit seems that
they only need to be shown how
simple It is. We hope too that the
study Of the Sunday school lessons will
be a revelation to the pastors OF what
the bible contains that is good for the
everyday lives of. themselves and their
members. think l told you, that we
have organized a new Sunday school
for the children i'll this end of town.
Bertha has charge OF 1t. Last Sunday
we had over sixty pupils. We are
working in our entire force Of girls
and women Of all ages as teachers.

all the time and she surely Is WANING
all hearts. We have a young girl 10
take care of her, but our little house
woman me Sing gets hold Of her
at every opportunity and cuddles her
and croons over her as though
1t was the greatest treat in the world
to be allowed to touch her. Elizabeth
is q little Chinese baby which the mis-.
sionaries bought from its unnatural
father for 35scents in gold. ~
We are expecting the Christmas box
to be in FoOchow so we cam bring it
down with us after conference. The
Chicago Mann, the steamer which car
ried it, reached Shanghai several
weeks ago so the box ought to be in
Foochow by thisstime. We have high
expectations concerning it as Mildred
