I.ANO OF ORiENf 11 ——~ s Continued from page 3 tours through the middle west. In many instances she had been enter- ■ tained in their homes for several days. I ut once asked her how she happened to know so many of our friends, and then one by <me we dis- • cussed them all. Why. it yas almost ‘ like meeting some one unexpecttdly from homo. She hud ever so many names of your Fort Wayne < hunts in, about whom she knew more than ’ 1 did myself after having heard you people talk about them so much. We . talked about the Doernier girls. Rev. i Bosch and his wife, the Schwndls family, the Hcsserts, Uncle Fred Roppnrts and Just ever so many people. . Am glad to hear that papa has something to keep him busy. Hope he gets all the money he is going after. I have enclosed a Chinese ticket to an entertainment given for the benefit of the flood sufferers in North China. I attended this entertainment which consisted of a play given by; Chinese students and a stunt put on 1 by the language school. It was an ' entertainment for a Chinese atldi-! ence, and consequently was given in the Chinese language. It began at 7:30 and lasted until 1:00 a. m. The Chine se always have such long entertainments. However, the foreignc-:; all begin tb leave about 10 o’clock. The affair was held in a thatch-roof ed shed with a mud floor, and we were compelled to sit with the lousiest Chinaman, provided he wanted to sit beside us. Luckily I got an end seat, and my room mate sat on the other side of me. hut back of us and in front of us were plenty of people covered with livestock. Am getting broken into the filthy conditions much more quickly than either Miss Weil or Mr. Bachman, but even then I can’t help feeling crawley after coming from some such experience. On this enclosed ticket which admitted me to the show I have indicated how the Chinese read. See how much vou can make out. I have marked 'he meaning of two characters, namely, the character for "one” and “man." The headings are read straight across the page from right o left. Have also enclosed the Union ( Church Bulletin. This is a picture >f the church which 1 attend every Sunday afternoon at 4:30, and in whose choir of twenty-five voices I tm singing alto. The choir is direct'd by an Oberlin man by the name of Jaoque. The services in this churc hare for the foreigners of Nan- 1 king only, and are conducted in the English language and as near like he Protestant services at home as possible. I have underscored two points which I thought would be of interest to you. . Am pianist in the Methodist Sunday i school of 400 children, which is the largest Sunday school in the city. We : have a children’s chcir there of 35 voices which lam leading. When you ' hitik cf Nanking as a city of 346.000 ■ nhabitants with 2000 Christians and xbout 200 foreigners, you get some dea of the importance of my job. I have enclosed the order of worship ”or last Sunday to give you some idea of how well advanced some of the missionary work is out here. This is i Chinese Sunday school and of course sverything is done in the Chinese ’anguage. At choir practice 1 tell the ■hildren what 1 want them to do thru •in interpeter. On Sunday this lady tits by me at the piano and tells me how many verses of the hymn the ’eader has announced and what is gong on generally, so that I don’t start to play when the congregation has been asked to join in prayer. Every Monday evening after school I go over to the Presbyterian mission and give two Chinese girls each a half hour piano lesson. The girls talk very Title English, so aside from acting out ■i whole lot, 1 get a mighty good chance to put into practice all the "iilnese I knew. I was told by members of our mission that when 1 got to Schenchowfu I would have to teach music. Hence, I thought this an excellent opportunity to get some experience. Yesterday I was elected captain of the girls’ junior baseball team at the language school. I have selected my ' team and tomorrow will try them out 1 for positions. This, together with a 1 little basket ball and tennis, forms my ’ chief means of exercise and helps me to get my mind off of the terrible grind of language school. I am pitching on our ball team. The faculty here like to have us go in for all ’he athletics possible in order to relieve our constant mental strain and also help us keep our bodies in first class condition. I have enumerated these things to give you an idea of how I spend my leisure hours and also to impress upon you an impossibility of being out here without having loads to do. At school we study nothing but Chinese from 8:30 a. m. to 12 m. and from 2p.m.t04 p. m. So far, we

have no studying to do outside cf school. There we hear nothing but Chinese from the time we enter until we come out, one third of which by this time we are able to understand. The other two-thirds is acted out by our teachers and repeated over and over again until we finally catch on what they are saying. They are not ' allowed to speak one English word. I certainly will be a star at “charade.,” before long. Our teachers are all Chinamen. The first thing in the morning we are given all the new words we will get for that day while we are together in class. After that we go to our individual teachers and try to use these words correctly in conversation and they in turn use; them for us. After that we assemble I in class again when a Chinese teacher stands up in front and drills us on making the sounds correctly. Each morning and afternoon we have a 20 minute recess, and aside from that, that's all the variety we get. After being in class 50 minutes, we go to 1 our teachers 50 minutes, and then come back and go to class again, and so on until the day is spent and the ten or twelve new words of the morning ate ground in. Last Sunday in coming here from' Sunday school I was reading a letter, which I had just received and as I was not watching where I was going: 1 suddenly found that I was lost. I ! walked and walked, thinking I would finally right myself, but only knew that 1 was getting farther out of the city all the while. Not being able to talk or understand, and knowing I wouldn’t meet a foreigner in a year, I did not feel so funny. Accidently I - happened to remember the district in which I lived, got into a richsha, and happened to get a collie who knew that name. After he got me within a few blocks of where I wanted to go I was able to point out the way to hint and arrived home safely. On that trip I passed two lepers who begged me to give them some money. Beggars are very numerous and it seems terrible to have to refuse so many, hem. - ,£ Your with ever so much love, ESTHER.
