Tompkins and his charming wife, who have recently arrived to join the mission. They expect to begin work soon, and give much promise of future usefulness.
The Baptist mission premises are close to the prin- cipal Yamen, the compound of which is used in part for the storage of the public grain sold by the officials at reasonable rates to the people during the stress of drought, to keep them from starvation.
The Chinese New Year was approaching, and every- body was preparing for the advent. Stack...s of laugh- ing masks or false faces for the festivities, huge piles of strange sweet things were seen at frequent intervals along the busy streets. I noticed a large pawn shop where many Chinamen were "hanging up" their goods, for small sums to spend during the holidays.
Numbers of fortune tellers and motto and scroll writ- I40 A GREAT GLUE CENTRE ers, who disposed of their commodities for a trifle, were much in evidence.
At the earhest opportunity, the missionaries and my- self went out to take photographs.
