The LetterSuchlen China July 1 1909
Iy Dedr Dr Hay In my last letter to you I think I mentioned the factthat Rev B C Patterson suffer-ing a very severe attack of pneumon-ia 1 am glad to say that in due timehe recovered his health About tbesame time Rev W F Junkin wetwith a very painful accident In whichone of his lower limbs was brokennot far from the hip joint He wasin bed six or eight weeks but now hehas gone out on an itinerating tripNotwithstanding these misfortunes-the condition of affairs here Is veryencouraging In general the opposi-tion to Christianity to be
decreasing and the nativeChristians do not suffer so much per-secution and ridicule as they formerly-did The women here have manifest-ed a strange desire to learn and themissionary ladles are kept busy teachlag them from the catechism andGospels Several women are learning-to read a task which for them Isdifficult beyond our power to ImagineThe Chinese women themselves saythat they are stupid to kill and noone can dispute that statement
During the past few months eighteenpersons have been received into thischurch including one teacher and tenstudents from the boys school andtwo students from the girls schoolWo now have four native teachersaad fiftyeight boys In our schoolThree of the teachers and twentyfourof tile boys are church members andseveral other boys have asked to bobaptized but have been advised towalt a while 80 you see that theweight of influence In this school Isvery strongly In favor of ChristianityWe hope that at least a few of theseboys will become ministers of the Gospel and If you could see their brightintelligent faces and think of thegood work they may be able to doin tho coming years I believe youwould agree with me that after allthe school work is the most promising-of all our missionary activities I donot mean to underestimate the Im-portance of all kinds of work but ofcourse the final Issue from a humanstandpoint rests with the educatednative Christians themselves A fewweeks ego I beard a splendid sermonby of our native helpers Hissubject was Evidences of Christian-ity and he showed a breadth ofscope which was really wonderful Ihave heard this man preach so oftenthat I am familiar with his peculiar-ities of expression and can under-stand him fairly well on some sub-jects
A good deal of work has been doneon the new school building and wehope to build more next fall Wo artbuilding only one story high a planwhich does not impress Americansvery favorably but tho Chinese con-sider these buildings quite symme-trical and handsome and I am Untrnlug o like thorn butter

I have recently beard a curiousstory of superstition Several monthssince some parties of native survey-ors passed through this part of thecountry In the Interests of proposedrailway lines These men used for-eign Instruments and wore some for-eign clothing so of course they arous-ed the suspicions of the local nativesSoon a report was heard that these
had scattered abroad a vastnumber of loose hairs only a fewInches long When one of these hairsdrifts Into the ashes of an incense urnthe hair becomes a worm whichcauses a pestilence In the family own-ing the urn So the people have beenbusily sifting the ashes of their urnsto find and burn these hairs and thusavoid a pestilence Such things mayseem ludicrous at first but It IH real-ly very sad to think of these countlessmillions of human beings living inconstant fear of sonic such evil In-fluence They are willing to believealmost anything except the truth andsome of them are even believing thetruth when It Is taught to them

DEATH OF MRS ROBINSON
Our community was saddened Sun-day by the sudden death of Mrs LlnaRobinson nee Jones which occurred-at her home Worthington SpringsSunday Sept 5 1909 in the twen-tieth year of her life
Sad indeed Leaving us only a fewmonths ago a bride in the bloom ofyouth and young womanhood Itseems hard to realize she is deadleaving in her place a beautiful littledaughter only a few days old
She leaves besides her husband afather mother three sisters and onebrother a dear old grandmother rela-tives and a host of friends to mournher death
TIs hard to break the tender cordWhen love has bound tbe heart
TIs hard so bard to speak thewords
Must we forever part
Dearest loved one we have laid thenIn the peaceful graves embrace
Dut thy memory will be cherishedTill we see thy heavenly face
