to be able to resume teaching before

by one of those germs which abound
in China and which are comParative-

me report that the school is complet-

Five weeks of my illness I spent
in our Canadian Methodist Mission
hospitqin Cheugtu, and the thought
'came to me that some of the things I
heard, if 1 did"not see, there, would
be of interest to our many friends
in and around Exeter. Since being
shut up I am learning to typewrite
by touch and am not at all proficient
at it yet, so there will be many inis-
takes in this manuscript, 'which I
.trust you, Mr. Editor, will correct.
' When Mrs. Johns and I reached
Chengtu, almost thirteen years ago,
we met a tall square man named Dr.
Ewan, who, with Mrs. Ewan and
their boy and girl were just about
to leave for furlough. The doctor
was in broken health and had never
recovered sufficiently to come back
to the Mission fields. In fact he and
his family have had very poor health
ever since, and have been struggling
along in rather straightened circum-
stances in their adopted home of
Cal if ornia. Perhaps to a large ex-
tent, they have been forgotten by the
home church and are almost un-
known to the younger generation.
On the Mission Field here, it will be

Perhaps you 'can appreciate the
difficulties of building with Chinese
Workmen when I tell you,' of this in-
cident which happened in connection
with the building "of this hospital.
Dr. Ewan had had all the doors made
and of ,the proper length. Now in
China aItdoors are made with a high
doorstep against which the doors
close. He explained that he did not
want the hospital doors that way and
yet one day when he was not Watch-
ing the svorkmen, they cut all the
doors shorter,' so that they would be
in accordance with Chinese custOM.
One can itnagine the sickening sensa-
tion which' Dr." Ewari experienced
when he saw all his doors cut too
-short. But in spite'of all these diffi-
culties, the hospital is beautifully
built and finished. ,
Now I want to tell you something
of the many kinds of work now going
on there, and I shall begin with the
outside dispensary and clinic: Every
day except' Sunday, the sick of all
discriptions gather to be healed and
the attendance varies from twenty
to seventy. The doctors look at the
sick in turn and prescribe for them
Or treat them for minor ills as the
needs require. The fee for this at-

Nurses' AsSociation. Already this
hospital has graduated eighteen nur-
ses who are now about equally em-
PloYed in the Chinese Army Hospital
here, while the others are scattered
from Chungking to Yachow in Mis-
sion hospitals, On graduation all
were Christians, though one or twe
have since fallen away.
Let me tell you a little about the
six nurses who had something to do
with nursing my eyes.,, The first,
named Djang, is "a graduate nurse,
and Vas once a pupil of mine when
I :was in charge of the :Primary
School in Chengtu. It gave me a
thr-ill of pleasure when I saw his
groups of students from the two
hospitals, se that co-education 1.0
coining even in, medical, work. Al-
most the whole foreign staff of the
hospital is engaged part of their time
in teaching amitralaing those nurses.
Each nurse has to take his turn in
.and are given much personal super-
vision in the,,,term of 'Personal past-
