Mr. Clarke and I went .Mown early,-but found the boot was in and the moot of the passengers, had gene ashore sight-seeing. How ever, we. began to look around and oooa found quite a number of Sou thern Baptists, among them: Mr. and Mrs. Westbrook, who right away invited us Jo be their guests for tif fin on the steamer. I had* never met Annie May Arnold, but had known of her sines she first come to China, because she was a Bessie Tift girl. . We had a delightful time talking about the dear college, in which we are both so interested and also talk ing to the ether people of oar Board who were going to China. About two o’clock the sightseers returned and then we had a regular Bessie Tift reunion or jubilee, or I hardly know what to call it. It was some what like a Methodist campmeeting in the overflowing joy and inspira tion. Frances Fulghum had come to the steamer, so we had her and Dona Anight, Alvada Gunn, Sara Perkins and Annie May Arnold, -all graduates, and me and I told them since 1 am “big sister” to all Bessie Tift girls, they’d.just have to let me in and they did. The boat sailed for China at three p. m., and these girls held to me until I was the vei^r last visitor to go down the gang plank. Think of that many Bessie Tift girls on use steamer!^ But girls, girls! they were every one bound for China, not Japan. Is it possible that China is going to call more loudl> than Japan for my dear Bessie Tift girls! Now you know, my dear lit tle sisters, if God calls you to China, that’s where I would have you go hut I do covet some of you for Ja pan. • * “If I loved you during the years gone by, I shall lave you more now that my Josephine is - 'one of you.

We feel that she is safe there irra way that we-ould not feel if she were elsewhere.” “I really cannot fully express the deep satisfaction I have in knowing she is to spend her college days un der the beautiful inlfuence of Bes sie Tift College. You will find rough places, deficiences, faults, but she has a warm heart and longs fjr love and encouragement. Owing ti> home teaching and very efficient teachers during most of thj time, she has been able to go school. She may not be evenly pro pared for your lowest grade,- but we are trusting you to palce here where she ought to be to do her best work. She lev* music and has done quite well, considering her lack of oppor tunity, and I hope she will have time to go on in this without neglecting her regular studies.” “We deeply appreciate what you and Mrs. Tift have undertaken to do fox. her and- it is our hope and prayer that she' may^measure up to our highest aspirations for her. “We hope to.be in Georgia on fur lough at the time of her graduation and we are already looking forward with joy to receiving back a full graduate of Bessie Tift College. “You may he sure that you and the school will have a large measure of our prayers and our very best wishes at all times, “In deepest gratitude, I am, “Sincerely yours, “Lucile Daniel Clarke.” PRINCIPALLY PERSONAL Rev.
