Description
are occasional calls for medicine. One man came with a bad cold on the chest. I
painted it with iodine and prescribed hot native wine with sugar and ginger. I don't
know whether he took the dose or not, but the cold went off shortly—as it probably
would have done without treatment. They come often for no reason at all, but I always give something. If I were asked now as to the virtues of a missioner I should
give as two important ones: 'Great kindness and infinite patience.' There is no place
for a grouch or hasty temper. The people are children and one must make due allowances. One expects children to be selfish and thoughtless, nor is he surprised if they
are ungrateful." We see by this the great test to which a missioner is put, away from
anyone of his own race and from any one from whom to receive consolation. Father
Meyer would like very much to have his old friends write to him and let him know
that they are thinking of the great wrork he is doing. His address is: Rev. B. F.
Meyer, A. F. M., Province of Kwangtung, Tungchan, China.
Wayne Lintz, Acad. '19, gave up his position in a local shoe store to join the Army,
and is now stationed at a camp in the South.
Wm. Hudson, Acad. '19, is now employed in Oklahoma City.
Howard Allar has a position in Davenport. He was a member of the Class of '19.
Rigobert Hellweg was forced to give up his studies at the Seminary on account of
ill health and is at his home in Houghton, Iowa.
Raymond Kinnavey is numbered among the students of the Sulpician Seminary,
Washington, D. C.
