The Lubbock avalanche. (Lubbock, Tex.) 1909-1922, 1921-12-06

Mrs. II. L. Hughes, who is with
her husband, Rev. Hughes, Mission
AIRY in Japan, writes the following
interesting letter to a friend in Rails
where Rev Hughes was pastor for
some time. Following is the letter as
it appeared in a recent issue Of the
Rails Banner:
Nakatsu, Oita Ken, Japan, Septem-
Der 90, 1921.
| have written you so many letters
in my mind recently that | find it
difficult to realize that it has been
so long since actually put one down
on paper.
After very pleasant summer in
Keruizawa we left on Tuesday, the
18th Of this month, and spent a week
on the way, arriving Tuesday, goth.
The day before we left Mr.. and Mrs.
Nickle. the new missionaries just
out from Texas, arrived in Karuiza
wa to spend a week with Mrs. Roy
Smith All of our mission who are
still in Karuizawa had supper with
Mrs. Smith, cafeteria style. Just
here let me mention that the Smith
baby is just as fat and healthy as
can be and so well trained that it is

hard to realize that there is one on
the place.
The Nickles are a fine young cou-
pie, just % and 20. You know /
knew Mr. Nickles brother, Uncle
Billy" in Southwestern. He was a
big football player there. Now what
do you suppose he sent me? An al
uminum dish-pan. The young couple
had written for advice about what
to bring and | mentioned among
other things, aluminium cooking uten-
sis, saying that Japanese-made cook
ing vessels did not last long and that
| hadn't had sure enough dishpan
since | came to Japan. SO far we
have used heavy crock or a wash
pan. Now ! will have four pieces Of
aluminium and | value them very
highly
Back to my subject. We left ka-
ruizawa at noon on Tuesday and ar
rived at Kobe at II o'clock Wednes-
day morning. We had for company
in the same coach, Mrs. Towson and
Miss Mamie, Mrs. Callahan and Miss
Joan and Ruth and Ted Myers (their

ton. Pray with US that we may show
more Of the Christian Spirit each day
which was 80 evident IN his life.
A splendid young man has been
secured as personal helper and
teacher for Mr. Hughes, and be will
continue to spend a great deal Of
time on the language Il is a great
temptation 10 spend more time with
English classes as there is a great
demand for this among students but
an the older missionaries agree that
no missionary can truly understand
japanese thought and life without a
thorough foundation in the language
