To The Clanernen: ' ', , , •
I would like'to offer rny most
sincere appreciation ,,fpr :the pig-
aretteg .I reeeivedt 'from you in
December. Please pardon my
taking such a -long period Of:time ,
'itii acknowledging the sinokes. It•.
is partly due' to the'fact - that
.the squadron I am on moved
twice ' during pecember, which
kept most of us so busy that we
had little time for anything ex-
cept our., work. We are fairly
well Settled here however •and
all the fellows are tryineto get
caught up With their correspon-
denee. • ., .•
There is a great deal of talk
• and speculation over here at the
• , .
present as to when the Second
Front : will open and when the
show will be over. Everyone has
a different idea on the subject,.About. the only thing that everY-
one does agree on, at, the present
is that it is far better to be here
than in Germany. It ,must be a
riot over there all the time with
so "many bombing raids. If you
ctild see them going over Vvery
day you would not have Muth
doubt as to who is supreme in
.the air now: •
I am afraid this is just about'
my lirnit for,: now. Thank you
very much again: for .the srnOkes.
• So long for the present.
• 'Sincerely, •• •
R. G. Richards.

• The last time I was in Kinloss
some One said "Have you seen
Confucius, he is the South
KinlOss. church". •
,
"NQ, that isn't' .Confucius", I
corrected, though he may look
not • unlike the • great Chinese
Aristotle. "Some day I'll write
a little story about,. the :old: fel-
low, how he carne i1ito my Poss-
es.s.ipn and something about his
life.. I'll" send it to the 'Sentinel.
Perhaps. they'll PrinOt for you",
p-prornised:., So. here :it is.
• One Wednesday afternoon a
Chinese woman *came to‘a church
where a friend of mine was the
minister. She had something all
wrapped up in a huge handker-
chief (orfuroshiki) commonly
used for carrying parcels. She
asked for "the teacher". A man
ai the door said, "You mean the
minister. He's out just now". The
woman seemed in distresi. She
must see "the teacher!' at all cost.
So • the minister was sent. for.
When he came the woman began
•to undo the furoshiki and tell her
story:: Under the furoshiki were
layers and layers Of newspaper
wrapped round and round. Ealli
wrapping gave time for a sen-
tence or two.

"It's my Nneighbo_urs'. They
gave it to me to take away.: My
neighbour's wife was' very ill.
Sick nearly unto death. They
tried every kind Of medicine and
had priest after priest try to
drive away the evil spirits. But
the -woman • \grew worse and
worse. I kept telling them they
ought to ,become Christian and
give up their - old superstitious
Practiees. In their desperation one
day they challenged me to see
what I could do..I wasn't very
• good, at it teacher, • but right
there and then, as 'bravely as I
Could: I .said "Let tiP• pray". I
prayed thebet 1 could and what
• clo-YOu think happened.? The Ivo:
Man began :to feel 'better. The
husband was so impressed he de-:
cided to become a Christian. TheY:
gave .me the family idol that had
been in the house for generations.
• Here it is. Won't you please take
it and, keep. it? And what is more
important, I have come to re-
• quest that* you, teacher • Would
come tonight or tomorrow night,
and have a cottage prayer meet-
ing :,:at their house. All their rela-
atives: :aed many of the , neigh-
bors will be there and, you can
pray better :than 'I: can". So a
meeting was arranged for Thurs-
day evening. My friend ,had. too
many such family idols around.
He had no room for them in his
already crowded house, so he

.The old fellow represents quite
a work of art. If you do not be-
lieve me just try carving one!
He comes out of a community in.
China and is several hundred
years old: His 'family name is
SUN which means a kind ef.pro-
phet: "His official. title, written
on the case in Chinese character§
is "The Great Protector of Right--
eousness". He: was a man revear-•
ed in his corntnunity as one who -
had ne fear., of superstitions. He
'was .atso considered able to cure „
diseases;. When he 'died and was
no • longer with, them in the flesh ,
this. image was made:' Its pres-
ence in :their homes was said to •
bring the blessing of 'peace and
'contentment. " •
His whiskers are interesting.
They Indicate the style of his
period of history. Though they
look like a complete beard, they
• are actually in five parts.; two
above the lip; two as sideburns
• and one on the chin.

tragic days of warfare. .
