Ralph ( ’18) and Mrs. Scoville (Helen Small, T8) Shansi, China, write as fol lows : “When we last wrote, we had just arrived in Shanghai and I [Mrs. Sco ville] was still in the hospital with a sprained knee. W e asked you at that time to pray about our future. A t the end of January, we received appointment to our new station: How gladly we made our preparations for a return to the interior, this time to a new province,, a new station, and new conditions! A week after our arrival at our new station, a two weeks’ class commenced for women. It was a splendid opportunity to get acquainted with the women in the city and district. In April, Mr. Scoville left for a month’s tent campaign in the north of the district, where I later joined him for ten days. Another new experience for us has been the privi lege o f getting away to the hills during the hottest days. This summer resort is a haven o f rest for many missionaries. The meetings for prayer and the opportu nities to hear o f work in other stations furnish rich spiritual refreshment.

Their mother, who has spent some time in China, recently returned to the United States. “Mother stayed out here longer than she had at first intended,” Miss Camp bell writes. “W e are certainly grateful to have had her near for these few years. She has been a great blessing in the work.
The Chinese love her, and because of her years, they are willing to receive her coun sel and help.” In a recent letter regarding their work among the seamen at San Pedro, Calif., Claude H. ( ’21) and Mrs. Pearson (Sylvia M. Fox, ’22) write as follows: “ There is hardly a month that we do not reach at least six nationalities of men on board their respective vessels. Last month, a fine Belgian youth accepted Christ. We met a Hungarian radio operator on an American ship who was engrossed in psy chology, but who promised to study the Gospel o f John.

W e have had sev eral lovely walks out among the people on the streets. One Sunday I went out with a fellow missionary.
