There is a possibility of Hope losing the First Regiment Band unless some mediate action is taken on the parc of the business men and citizens of Hope. Manager T. R.

The band is composed of the very best local musicial talent and ranks among the best musical organ izations of the state. It has ever been ready to furnish music for all occa- sions, and has furnished amusement in the way of summer concerts, and the people of Hope have made very grave mistake in not giving the band the proper encouragement and finan- cial support it deserved.-Hope Ga zette.

LETTER FROM CHINA

EaaehaW Ellx. ChIna. July l

Feoehow city, China, July l5th
 My Dear Brother sargent,
 Ms. Ktoaear has been reminding me that 1t ts nme thal l should write Co you, and come te think of il | am sure that sueh must be the cnse, for during the months since we look charge Of tue work l have done almost no Wfiting ot letters except to the chil- dren who are so scattered about Amer ica.
 Be assured, however, that we have had abundant reason to remember the good friends of the Putnam church many and many n time, and the most recent reminder was that box of use ful things, linen, towels, soap, band ages, etc, that was sent by the church and sunday School classes. Thank you all so much for everything that was sent, and thank you for the per sonal gifts that were enclosed from some of the classes Miss Sargent's $ l class and Mrs. Barber's class have in mind now.) Nothing reminds us Of | you more pleasantly or more constant | ly than the wheel stretcher and the in valid chair. The stretcher has been used every day since it was unpacked and never ceases to be a marvel Of beauty and efficiency to the Chinese patients. Frequently it goes to The service too. When the patient is un' able to move from the stretcher to the seats in the chapel easily, the stretcher is just rolled into the chapel and the invalid can lie on it and hear the preacher, and then when the service Is over he can be rolled to his bedside ! without having been subjected to any
 discomfort. So 1t is behaving itself In
 a way quite eomaorting with the fact
 that it was bought and presented by
 church. No one item in the newer i part of the outfit has shown its useful
 ness and been such a comfort 10 us as
 that stretcher. Thank you again for it.
 It k great joy to us to have such a
 splendid church body back of us, and
 10 feel your constant and prayeriul in
 terest in what we are doing.
