very, practical and teachers of prim-

these times of uprisings and trouble
were it not for letters received from
one of the head men of the tribes,
two of whose wives had been in the
Chengtu hospital for medical treat-
ment. During the reading a number
of snaps taken on the trip were pass -
around for our inspection. A splen-
did little poem "Because of Thy great
Bounty," was recited by Mrs. Bow-
ers, and then our two young members
—Tena Reid and Caroline Wellwood,
gave a very pleasing piano duet "Ov-
er the Waves." These two girls are
always ready to help us in our pro-
grams and their help is much apprec-
iated.
Mrs. J'oynt, the Temperance Her-
ald, read an instructive note on her
