Dr. and Mrs. Robb are happy over
the arrival of a little baby girl.
We enjoyed a brief visit from Dr.
A. I. Robb and his talk on the condition
in China. Blanchard has a
warm heart for the mission there.
A week later Mr. J. R. Dill was with
us and in addition to his re'gular lecture,
gave us some account of the
splendid mission work of the Second
Philadelphia congregation. The methods
seem to be those of permanent results,
and well worthy of imitation.

Canton that a Relief Commitee had
been organized and would care tor
the floodeddistrict between Shin Hing
and Canton, and were expecting the
missionaries at Wuchow and Tak to
look after the district between Shin
Hing and Wuchow.
On the Sth and 6th, we went out
with two native helpers to inspect
conditions in Tak Hing and surrounding
villages. We also interviewed
the official, to flndout what help was
be'ng given by government and local
authorities, and what places were in

The official showed us a list of over
