Telling of an intended visit to the

a letter from Charles Notson, in the
Chinese mission field with his' fam
ily addressed to the local Union Mis
sionary society, Mrs. Alex Green,
secretary. The letter was addressed
from Sunwa, Tsnghai, February I,
1941. Mr. Notson, former Heppner
boy, writes:
Sometime so strong is my inten
tion of writing a letter that I get to j
thinking afterward that l acxuauy
have written one. The trouble is my
best inspirations come when I am
riding along the road. Then, un
troubled by the many interruptions
that come here on the station, my
mind unrolls long letters to my
friends. I thought I wrote you in
August but Ruth insists that I must
have dreamed about it. Now I notice
Heppner. It was extremely inter
esting to read the personal glimpses
and of those you mentioned by name.
. . . Please excuse this poor typing.
My right hand is done up in a band
age. Blood poison started from a
couple of scratches. In our haste
these days to get all packed and
close the station, they did not get
proper attention and I've had a very
bad time of it for over a month, but
now the swelling is almost com
pletely gone, and only two ugly
sores, one about the size of a quar
ter, and the other the size of a
nickel remain to heal up. We knew
knothing about the treatment of
blood poison, except we heard ashes
were good. Soaking in water with
ashes proved hard on the skin gen
erally, but a poultice now and then
applied to the afflicted spot has

my fervent desire to learn more key into the plane and taking him
about effectual praying. Of late I ve
been reading "The Path of Prayer
by Samuel Chadwick. Like all tru
ly great and truly deep things his
book is most simple and plain. Be
fore coming to the field I thought I
had learned something about pray
lntr and its oractice. but the enemy
comes in like a blitzkrieg out here,
and is apt to maneuver one clear
out of the prayer closet by so many

It is so difficult to find a place ot
regular retirement. We hope our
fnrloueh time will furnish us with
opportunity to build 'up along this
line and in a way that will iortuy
ftillv and enable us to better prevail
against the forces of evil during the
work of another term. As LnadwicK

Drav but by praying."
It is our hone and plan to visit
Henoner sometime during the com
ing summer, possibly in August. It
is a little hard to lay plans from
this side of the world, but we think
it mav work out that way, but com
mit it to the Lord to work out, for
our times are in His hands. From
what your letter to me gave, there
mnct v nnit a few changes ml
along. One night after Ruth had
bathed them and talked with them,
I was highly entertained by Edward
recounting to me what sort of bath
ing facilities were to be had in Am
erica. He said the tubs must be
kept down by the river, for where
else could there be so much water.
The idea of having the tub in the
house with water running into it
and to be easily turned out was
just too wonderful. x
We have a Chinese Christian
evangelist with us now. He is from
Titao and has believed on the Lord
nearly thirty years. He formerly
was a Buddhist. He is very good in
his approach to the Moslems, and
he has promised to stay on working
with them after we go. It is not so
easy for a man of his age to be in
this sort of a place alone when he
might be in Titao which is a much
nicer place and where he would be
waited urion bv his son and other
members of the family. He as talk
ed a good deal of going when we do,
but yesterday informed me that the
Lord had spoken to him reminding
him that whoso loveth father, mo
ther, brother, sister, sons., etc., more
than Himself, is not worthy to be
called his disciple. It gave me much
joy to hear him say this, for it not
only means a continuation of the
witness after we are gone, but it
proves this man to be a faithful
steward of the riches of God's grace.
Do remember him when you are
praying.
Ruth joins me in cordial greetings
to you all in His name.
