China can neverbe what she was A new and mighty nation being evolved and In every Chinese whom one meets the symptoms sre clearly seen Native Shanghai is fighting bitterly every inch of ground and refusing to allow the foreign powers any further couceBslous The yonug native who has been so calm and dignified that he apparently would not resent tha in suits 1 of arrogant foreigners will today

Shanghai work and we hope that Seymour Collins will also come to help This will leave me free to reorganise the work for Anglo-Saxons which disbanded a year ago Just now my -work consists of conducting ten gymnasium classes a week getting the athletic field in shape for the work introducing volley ball into: the Chinese public schools planning recreation for the secretarial conference lecturing entertaining and studying The unrest of the nation has continued so long that we have given up the Idea of sending a man to Sweden to represent China but hope to send a few representative men to catch the inspiration of the fourth Olympiad Letters Always Welcome The letters from many friends hsire been a great source of pleasure We cannot tell you how much we appreciate a newsy letter-Tram the "home Hit us often In that spot and only put on a two-cent stamp not a five It has been with great regret that thla letter has been detained but it baa been quite impossible to get it ready earlier The warm weather Is upon us and makes us wish for a shady spot unded a big Canadian mapla Mrs Crocker la working away at the language Bruce and Sister are growing fast and are full of lire and mischief Every day the opportunity to serve our Master and to help extend His Kingdom grows on us as we get better acquainted with the people individually I do not believe that it will be glvoa to us to serve in China many years The work as It grows must more and more be carried on by the young Christian of China who baa the traditions and the result or centuries of training Hla mind
