The girls in the older groups are much interested in the city athletic meet. W e have two volley ball teams who have entered. Nurses and doc tors who have been in Suifu many years tell me that the girls are much more healthy these last few years since they have entered so heartily into athletics. The most encouraging part o f the past year has been to see the spiritual growth and sense of responsibility on the part o f the Christian girls. These girls are very soon put into Christian service. Our school furnishes all but six or eight of the Sun day-school teachers. On Wednesdays I meet with the Junior Department teach ers. These sessions open with a season o f prayer for the boys and girls and the problems connected with our Sunday- school. Each Wednesday the teachers take turn in teaching the lesson for the following Sunday. Married Edward E. Beatty and Marjorie M. Meyer, June 28, Chengtu, Szechwan, China.
