DEAF PERSONS ARE VERY INTERESTING +~. "7 s . Head of Bureau of the Deaf Find* Wonderful Examples ef Pluck and Persistence Among Handicapped Ones. Raleigh. July 25.?"We are run ning across some very Interesting deaf persons in our employment work," said J. M. Robertson, head of the Bureau for the Deaf of the Department of Labor and Printing. "One of the most unusual of these ia that of a deaf mute employed as billing clerk arid stenographer for a tobacco concern at Danville, Va. "This fellow attended the North Carolina School for the Deaf at Mor ganton. almost a helpless hot with a big hump on his back. The older he got. the bigger the hump became. He bent down, his hands almost touching his feet. This deformity to gether with his deafness was a great handicap. "He was determined not to allow hmlself to be dependent upon char ity. He searched many months for work and at last found employment with a tobacco manufacturer at Danville. He has worked hard and has made good. We have Just re ceived a letter from his employer telling us what he thinks of this deaf mute." The letter from the manager of the tobacco company Is as follows: "Henry has been in my employ alnce 1914. I foun^hlm at that time working In a "ToEacco factory of which I aasumed management. He waa paatlng revenue stampa and lab tls on smoking tobacco, making $1 per day when at work. I do not suppose we operated that department more than half the time. Conse quently he had to get assistance from relatives. "He was very anxious to work full time and was anxious to learn to operate a typewriter. So. I put him in the office at $4.00 weekly. He*! learned to set up forms for writer press, this being very useful to us as we did a great deal of circularizing. "His salary was Increased from j time to time and it was not long be- J fore he was able to take care of himself. He bought liberty bonds In war time and has probably saved a little money. "A few years ago I cot up a spe Clal letter-head with his name an manufacturer's agent to sell tobacco by mall. He got uji_a list of good merchants, circularized them and did ?ell quite d lot of goods. "Henry Is now acting as my sten ographer which sounds strange for a deaf and dumb man. I pencil my letters hurriedly and he copies them on a typewriter. He does it accur ately and neatly and his work Is very satisfactory. "He Is also my billing clerk In which capacity he Is very accurate; also assists with the bookkeeping. He la very happy In his work, never wants a Vacation and would work ov ertime if I .would let him. "Being deformed as Well as deaf and dumb he Is handicapped for speed, but being constantly on the job he turns off a great deal of work and honestly earns every cent he is paid. He la one of the most deserv ing young men I ever saw and it is a pleasure to have him around." "All of which," said Mr. Robert son, "goes to show that the deaf can do any work where^hearing Is not required, If given "a chance."

If the Chinese are per mitted to work out their own con ceptions of the teachings of Jesus, I they will still further enrich the |church of the Weat with other Jew-I [els and add fresh garlands to her! adornment. But they must be al j lowed full sway and play with th's j beautiful thing which we call Chris-1 tianity. They must be free to take J j the religion of Jesus and'apply It a to their own individual lives and] ' test it in their social organization land apply It to their national pro blems and prove it and see Jf It will i help them as individuals and as a nation. If It will, and I believe it j will. and that nothing else will, then I they will adopt It and adapt It to ' their needs."
