The Dr. at Luchow said that Mr. Taylor died of ptomaine poisoning. We are all convinced that the three men had the same disease, whatver it was. ai poisoning it was ptomaine p g we cannot trace where the three could have gotten it when none of the rest of us were affected. Miss Batstone, one of the nurses of our party, helped me to take care of Jack. There were four nurses in our party but the other three had gone on to their stations about a week before the sickness came. Miss Batstone is a "Toronto West" girl and we knew her before we left home so it was nice tet have her here. She expects to go on to Chentu on Tuesday as there is a party going and it is a good opportunity for her to go. We are the only two left here now of our big party of 15 adults and nine children. Jack is so weak that we cannot think of traveling until he gets stronger.

We gather about all who are afflic- ted. Deal gently with them 0 God. in this day when dread disease spreads over the land, do Thou lay thine hand in healing and blessing upon all who suffer, May all who toil in the gracious minis- try of healing share in the comfort. and joy of Thy presence, and may they see that Thy blessing is n- on their labors. - Give comfort to all who are Ionely. We dwell in the valley of the shadow of death. Some have sorrow too deep for human sympathy to assuage. If you are to provide a way of His ap- proach to you, He must be allowed. to coxae in that the friendship may grow. A second characteristic in this friendship is sympathy. "Two can- not walk together unless they be a- greed." They must have the same aspirations, purposes, and attach- ments, the same woes and labors,. the same fundamental moral tastes. .A. third feature we would eeeog. uize in this frieadzhip as being -mu- tual sacrifice. A real friend does things, for a real friend unconscious that he does it. The measure of friendship with some does not sur- pass' the -measure of personal. •ghee Thou wilt enter into ---and smileobtained from it.

Be with all amount they have done for you, and good men, Make them fearless, remind you of the obligations you resolute, confident and zealous. are under them. "My religion," says Be merciful to all who forget Thee one man, "costs a penny." But we May some revelation of Thy love come to a friendship of a worthier sort when the nature of it is so deep that the cost of it is not counted when the sense of expenditure is lost in the joy of its accomplishment,. Writing to the Philippian church, Paul revealingly cried, "That I might know Him, and share His suf- fering." It was a great hunger - in. Paul to do in spirit for Christ what Christ had done for hint. The man of sorrows is here, and if we are to be His real friends we must have this hunger too. We must not only be - reach them and constrain them to seek Thy face. Thou art the God of the na- tions of the earth. Give serene sagacity to the men whose high duty is to deal with great and far-reaching international problems, that, in Thy good prov- idence, rovidence, peace and good will may dwell among all nations. Thy gos- pel emancipates the mind and soul of man. 0- send it forth to all nations, peoples and tongues. Give Thy blessing to all unconscious of our sacrifice but 'we. who foil to reach this glorious must share the travail of His soul for the souls of men more deeply, and in a way that will enable His Kingdom come.
