ings and equipment; in the fine school
for girls, the Laura Haygood Memo-
rial Normal school, and last but not
least the new Soochow hospital. The
Maria Laynard Gibson settlement, in
an old hundred room Chineses house is
located in the very heart of congest
ed territory in Hong Kong. It is also
with in a block of the biggest ship-
ping street of Soochow and in easy
reach, too of 1000 high class mer-
chant homes—a center for about 80-
000 people. In west Soochow is lo-
cated the Davidson Memorial, with
it's girls school. Kindergarten, Ma-
ka Embroidery Mission. Its large
day school and evangelistic work for
women. Orders have come from all
parts of the world for some of this
delightful embroidery, work done by
the girls at the mission. Four or five
blocks from the Davidson Memorial is
Miss Farrants school for boys. A
glance at ine map of Soochow would
show at once the wisdom of our pio-'
neers in plotting out the location of
our Missions. They occupy the most
stragetic parts of the city: for be-
ginning with Tien Sz Lsung, new of
the east wall, extending through Hong
Kong, the great central business sec-
tion, across to Mo Ka Ho-Yeon in
west Soochow they thus permeate
with their uplifting influence the very
heart of this ancient city.

THE AFTERMATH
Yesterday a young man approached
me and claimed he hadn't hay any-
thing to eat for three daya. About a
year ago the world was drunk with
a mad deaire to make money . Men
were paying $16 for silk shirts to
wear at their work. Today the world
is sobering up like * drunkard. Some
of the boys who were inventing in $lf
silk shirts last year are today hunt-
ing a place in the bread line. This is
a big nation and after such a spree
as we have neen on it means time,
patience and sane thinking to sober
us up and get us back to normal.—
