In connection with that and the goods above referred to a report has been Widely circulated that I am a wealthy man. I know it has reached several states and gone as far as Washing ton, D.

So that, so far only the eldest of my five children has secured a college educa tion and' she had a small estate from her mother's father. My children were born and growing up during these 18 years. Over against this nearly $20000 that I might have received from the board I got as legal com missions from the Crawford . estate about $4,000, but ail of which was spent during the dozen years in which-!- worked" at " the- estate and I was also forced to borrow against life insurance policies, snd if I were to pay what I now owe against such policies I would just about be even with the world. So I know I am not a wealthy man, whatever others may know or think about it. On the eve of my departure from my third furlough returning to China and ps an honest and aged minister of the Gospel, I make this statement not to defend myself, but that any messages my Master might wish to rfend through me might not be dis counted.
