INFLUENCE OF GREAT LIVES

Hero worship is mighty fine and
has a fa~ reaching influence for bet
ter things, provided Of course that
the right kind Of hero to worship
is selected. Many strong charac-
tiers have been built by boys.
through the selection as an ideal OF
some really great, high minded,
honorable, clean man. Reading the
biography of such, the reader is in
spired to emulate the great person
age of whose struggles and success
es these biographies tell. Have we
ever thought how much our country
owes in general in the way of good
citizenship. to George Washington,
whose birthday we celebrate tomor-
row, and other great men that
might be mentioned? No young man
with any real ambition can atten-
lively read the life of the Father of
his Country, without having i'm
planted within him a desire to make
his own life like Washington 8.
Whoever writes a true biography of
Washington or other of our great
characters, is doing a great service
10 hts country in general.
Great as was the influence such
characters had on our country al
the period in which they lived, that
influence kept right on and on, after
their death. That is why we can in
all truthfulness say that they never
die

ANOTHER FINE LETTER
WRITTEN FROM CHINA

Dear Homeiand Friends: - once
more the Cartwright letters start
shutting from China to you in
America. They will come to some
of you who are old friends of the
Cartwright family. To others they
will come because you have been
contributors to the work which has
been or is in my care. Some of you
will receive the letters whose only
touch with me has been as we have
met briefly during the year just
passed, our furlough year in the
United States But I call all of you
friends" in the greeting together
of Christ's work--and that surely
does make friends.
We reached Foochow late in Sep
tember, our voyage having been
heightened because of the terrlfic
disaster in Japan. We reached Yo-
kohama less than week after the
earthquake, and all too vivid and
horrible were the glimpses we got
OF Nippop's suffering. Pm glad to
my toes that you in America re-
sponded so quickly and generously
to the call of Japan's need.
Arrived here we moved at once
to our new home, not with the 9TH

It's wonderful privilege to live in
the very midst of our people and
even though the children have to
take an hours journey to find 9TH
ers with whom to play, we feel that
the move is a fine one. Mrs. Cart
wright finds it possible here to give
four afternoons regularly to direct
work among the Chinese, in addi-
tion to teaching our three wrigglers
and in addition TO the normal duties
OF a housewife; so she is delighted
with the wider opportunities here.
