A large audience was present last
Thursday evening at the Baptist church
to listen to the lecture of Miss Clarissa A,
Hewey, supt. of nurses at the Kin Wah
hospital China, who talked most enter
taininply of the work of Christian MIS-
sjons in China and especially of the work
at Kin Wah. She went to China
in 1916, and after a period spent in
studying the language at Marking
was sent directly to Kin Wah and at
the end of the second year was made SUI
perintendent of nurses. This position
was most difficult at first as her knowl-
edge of their language was very limited
but in short time she gained great en-
thusiasm and liking for her work. Be-
sides the hospital, they conduct boys
High school, a girls High school, a city
church and four outlying country
churches This mission is now in charge
of the Chinese, as the Baptist Foreign
Mission Society has been obliged to give
it up on account of insufficient funds.
Miss Hewey anticipates returning there
to work with them, feeling that they are
now competent to conduct this work.
She spoke very highly of the Chinese
people, of their intelligence, their wor-
thiness and of some of the close friend-
sh lbs she had made with them. After
the talk a social hour was enjoyed and
hot cocoa and cookies were served by the
girls of the w. w. G.
