in getting the missions message to
America before the American people
in way that already has accomplished
much Of what tho mission came to
achieve.
No newspaper man who has talked
to Mr.. Butler will believe that the Eng.
lish have no sense of humor. The other
morning he rubbed his eyes sleepily at
a conference, and explained, with his
unvarying good nature:
About thirty good people of one
American city came here to invite the
mission to visit that city," he explained.
They got in here at 2:30 am. and
walked me up by telephone to tell me
of their arrival and ask what they
should do. So am rather sleepy this
morning"
What did you say to tho spokes-
man." he was asked.
Well, told him to put his delega.
tion to bed and come around in the
morning"
Before the mission had been in Wash.

had arranged an interview for the
