S. of Wesley -Willis church held a special open meeting on Monday evening when the program was a little out of the ordinary, con- sisting of the enactment of a little play, made up by themselves, put on by Dr. R. G. and 1VIrs. Struthees and their family, who were visiting in town. The play depictecl•life in a Chinese village and the turtain went up on a meagerly furnished cottage room in which sat a Chinese mother with her Tittle sick son and a small slave girl attending to duties about the house. Candles burn before an idol in the place of honor. The child is moan- ing and a native doctor comes in. Be is given tea asks for a pipe and seems much more concerned about his own comfort and due regard be-. ing paid to his dignity than about the sick child. But on being begged by the mother to see if he could do anything for her child he went to him, felt his pulse and Prescribed revolting doses as cures, received his fee and left. Later a foreign missionary lady came in, saw the sick child and, try- ing to allay the fears of the mother, urged her to send th e boy to the missionary hospital where she felt sure he could be made well. Another scene depicted the office of the hospital and the foreign doc- tor and missionary, where the mother and grandmother had brought the little bay. And the last scene show- ed the home of the mother again, with the bustling grandmother pre- paring a feast for the foreign doc- tor and nurse in honour of the re- cavery of the little boy, the only child of the family, The meal, ' a Chinese one, eaten with chop sticks, had a great many courses and was mixed up in a way which we western people would hardly relish. The grandmother, who is hostess, the mother waiting on the table, carry- ing in dish after dish, is very anxious that her guests should have plenty and the foreign doctor is not to be outdone in courtesy so insists on helping his hostess to the good things provided. The result is rather con- fusing to westerners' ideas of an or- derly meal. But the family is happy in having their child restored. They have taken away the household god and have accepted the teachings of the missionaries. The little playlet was enjoyed by the large number present and served to depietesornething of the life of Inc missionary in that far lancl. Dr. Struthers took the part of both the native and foreign doctor, Mrs. Struthers that of the missionary lady and the Chinese grandmother, Miss Muriel took the part of the Chinese 'nether, Miss Eleanor that of the foreign and the native nurse, Miss Isabel that of 'the little slave girl THE HOME PAPER FIRST/AMILY PICNIC , GOING TO CAMP • Mrs. R.
