It seems fantastic that any adult should be bored when he has an hour alone with himself, since that period of rare leisure might give him time to recall and savor of the best of what life has left with him. However it may be that (as seems likely) oui* living may become more restricted; we shall be thrown back upon our own resources and so regain some of the lost appetite for simple pleasures. These are offered freely to all, conditioned only upon our ability to make them our own. Certainly we should not consider that we are the worse off if we may exchange some of the lazy sophistication of our day for that divine curiosity which keeps the soul .alert to joy or that inner radiance of the spirit which finds its own luminous reflection in the common things of life. —The Missus “TEACH ME THE JOY OF SIM PDF THINGS’1 The progressive times in which we live, have supplied us much ready-made entertainment that wo seem to have almost ability th “enjoy ourselves” in the literal sense of that term, thin is> because there is nothing to enjoy.

Merriam, wao followed the worship service provided by the Missionary Month ly, Mrs. Merriam gave the call to worship and the prayer of thanks giving for the Bible and Miss Da vey and Mrs. Penwarden gave the Scripture readings. A discussion on “‘How I Use the Bible as a Guide to Christian Faith and Conduct” brought out many helpful ideas and emphasized the need for teaching the scriptures to the little ones both at home and school, Davey then gave a, interesting synopsis < of the study book, the Sons of Shuh”. deals with a former history of China, the 1922-27 Chiang position of leadership revolution anti-foreign feeling developed into anti-Christian timents and all but five of our sionies had to be evacuated. 1927 twelve missionaries returned.

To be perfectly frank, we were disgruntled with what appeared to us an unfortunate destination. No street cars, no neon lights, or bust ling intersections greeted out city- accustomed eyes, The peacefulness of the country wsas new and,differ ent to our “hustle and bustle” minds. But, we sensed a certain friendli ness which seemed to pervade the atmosphere of this little town, and, deep in our hearts, each and every one of us hoped be permitted to friendliness,” However, that were out-flanked and forced to retreat before army of welcomes’, city isn’t buildings hearts, We wish to thank the many .fam ilies who have extended to us in numerable dinner invitations which we have had the pleasure to accept. The Canadian Region have provided us with a “home within} a home,” To them, we can only offer our, deepest gratitude. Nor cap we ever forget the many courtesies and kind attentions shown us by the person nel of the Central Hotel. We are grateful for the cooperation display ed by banks, stores and numerous ■business establishments, During our stay we have had the pleasure to attend your dances a n d parties. More often your cheers rather than duj- physical endurance kept our hockey team on its feet. . It is with all -these pleasant things ip mind that we say farewell to the citizens of Exeter. You have offered us everything. It is in our power to return only a heartfelt thanks apd to keep alive a pleasant memory wherever w e m ay be. Thanks a lot.
