I remember a few years ago, when they had a ter-, riffic flood. The water rose to the roofs of the houses and destroyed not a few of4 them. - . The description of the filth laden water during a'flood in a Chinese town makes understandable the ter­ rors .of the people of floods;. We pic­ ture rain torrents, and floods rising, but we think of it as just ordinary H2O: we do not understand the tears of these/ people. , They know the horrors of greenish slime filled with filth and stench beyond des­ cription, perhaps filling their houses. That year, for Goryu, it was a flood: this year it is an earthquake. I wonder what will happen the little, struggling Christian- group there. lJe?ple are sure to say ...the Chris- tio’ns God is to be blajried for it. all. “■Taiko in flames.” What about the nevy church ? The new building should already be Completed; In-the la'st letter from Taiko they expected the. opening ceremony to be Boon. Perhaps it was set for today, Erister Sunday. It is only tabout, six months since that congregation n^as so upset about having, to pull dowri- their church and build a new tone. The town officials came along, one day and said, We are* very sorry for you but a new street is going to be put. through here so you will haye to pull this building down. It is right iq the way. At first it seemed an impossible task to^ even think of raising enough money to build' a church' anything, like as good as the original one. But they met the eih- ergency bravely and rose' to the .unusual situation. Can it be possible the new Taiko church is in ruins’the very clay the decoratioris are upTldF the Opening? badlyj'.'ghri!l<en,”' * What about the Shinchiku church?, Built by the late Dr; Gauld who left his mark of strength oh . every wall and roof he put up, I should think the Shinchiku church would stand, a heavy quakg. Anyway Shinchiku is farther away from the centre. And the iShinehiku church tower— the Marian Keith tower with the bell; I wonder if it is alright?1 We. folded^, the r'^O-gai” with a thousand questions running ^through our minds} We wonder what -the next mews wifi be.« We wofider if there will be “Gd-gai’s” in Chnada, too, Porhaps/’The woifld is becoming ii’iigh MacMillan. n nrad-lblock walled ,:Ch'inese ’ houses doing that.

That time N.K.C. thd minister from Ba-u and (LS.T. the minister from *Tonshiky- aku were with me. N. K. C;, though the champion tennis playef in North Formosa and a leading athlete, had­ n’t nerve -..enough io /walk the ties at such a height- as that bridge was above the water? The ties being ,un- . usually far apart and the possibility of a special train, not on the regular? time table coming, along, of course made it more nerve racking.. He had' to. leave civilization’s steel' structure and cross as - the Aborigines have from time immemorial. He jumped from rock to rock, climbed over an old shaky tressle, and waded the stream in the half-dried river bed below.- Grossing the bridge, the railway leads immediately into a long, jdark. 7^aririer?Bbme young men from Riutan whither we were bound, met us at the tunnel entrance. ■ ■..TB.ey • .cayded torches Of, ’fiver .grass dipped “ iri crude’ oil.
