Miss Hannah Riddell, the founder of
kumamoto Lepers Hospital, Kuma-

charming maiden, Miss Riddell went
to Japan from England in 1901 as a
missionary. Soon after her arrival in
the land of cherry blossoms, she
strolled to Hommyo-ji Temple, near
kumamoto City, primarily to see the
cherries and temple. 1t was an early,

OF worry, striving to see beyond the

for Blossoms constant companionship
held her back, even though the girl
herself was the determining motive
for her desire over and over she
asked herself the question of what
she was going to do, and over and
