(By International News Service! Nashville. Tenn., May 20.—Recent ly returned from war-torn China. Dr. and Mrs. Philip Sullivan, missionaries, give interesting highlights on the death of a country thnt has been asleep for centuries, and the birth of a new. modern nation. Dr. Sullivan, formerly of Shanghai, where he was head of the depart ment of economics of St. Johns Uni versity. an institution of the Protes tant Episcopal Church, and Mrs. Sul livan, who first met her husband in the. Margaret Williamson hospital in Shanghai, while serving there as a missinury, have lived in China for the last five years and are thoroughly ac quainted with conditions there. "Then l is very little patriotism in China.” he said, “as Americans un derstand the word, to inspire any of i the armies. The reason for this is that practically all of the soldiers arc coolies, or expatriates, and are pro fessional or mercenary soldiers. They : are liable to change their loyalty to whichever side seems to be whining, or offers the most in the way of loot ing or other gainful pursuits that fol low in the wake of war.” And above all the battle-scourged towns, the "red" menace lifts its head. Dr. Sullivan said, threatening the safety of all foreigners. "It was very unfortunate for for eign activities in China." he d'S-larSd. "that the ‘red - element is in the south ern army, and it is also unfortunate for the nationalists. St. Johns University is one of the greatest institutions of learning in China, and although it is outside the international settlement at Shanghai, it is in the protected area. More than 750 Chinese men and boys arc on rolled there and these were terribly disap pointed when the institution closed its doors. r Increased Happiness in Old Age. The Progressive Farmer. "How We Have Found Increased Happiness in Old Age”—this was the topic announced soiuegiwe ago for discussion by older readers of The j Progressive Farmers, and here, after some delay, are some of the best let ters received in answer to our an nouncement. The first cash prize of .sls goes to T. B, Ewing, of Comanche county, Texas—but lie didn't write his letter, i He had to dictate it. for he has been blind for twenty-five years! Mr. Ewing's letter may not be more cheerful or philosophical than some of the others, but he has at least had his cheerfulness and philosophy put to a harrier test than anybody elec — and it is an inspiration (as well per haps as a rebuke to some of us who complain much with little cause) to I see how triumphantly his courage and serenity have survived his quarter century test! Listen to him: I “I am in my seventieth year and totally blind, yet happy. There are so many things for us older i ample to find happiness in that I hardly know where to begin. One of the many that I get geuuine pleasure out of is good literature. There are lots ’of helpful things I get through hear . ing the reading of palters and maga zines. “As for usefulness, up to short time ago before I took rheumatism. I did lots of work such a feeding the stock and chickens, drawing water, and did I the fumily washing with very little ' help. I save my wife, many steps by bringing in the wood. There is no use to give up just because wc are getting old. I have been blind twenty* five years, and, of course, there have been times that life looked awfully gloomy. B«it as happiness is of our own creation, or the attitude of mind toward things, I always look for the 1 silver lining when the cloud is dark,.: “When Jesus walked the shores of Galilee, people needed food, clothing, j shelter, and love, and the present day needs are not so very different from that of men and women of nineteen | hundred years ago. Wc still need | those things for our comfort, but for our happiness we need the spiilt of seif-denial. He who is self-engrossed is only half efficient.
