The assembling of this splendid party was entirely due to a providential visit of Mr. and Mrs. Saunders to the Insti tute while on their furlough. A friend of the China Inland Mission in Phil adelphia having learned of the accept ance of the Institute students by the council asked the cost of sending the total number to China and claimed the privilege of financing the whole party.
