I asked them to look at the cars while they are there and we will also enquire in Tientsin where mv niece’s husband is apent for cars and we will purchase where we- can p«?t the best barpain. It id'kind of you to specify that I consider my comfort when we purchase and you mention a coupe, but that would not be. practical ont here at all.

There are several companies rutming publie'ears between here and Pochow. where my brothers live so we shall be fortunate in having me chanics nearby. Over twenty of our old sisters were m for prayer meeting the day after your letter came and I said to them “I have spme very good news, can you guess what it is?” The Bible wo men who had pledged with me to pray for a car spoke up with a laugh and said, “a car.” When I said yes, you should have seen their faces and have heard their words of th'ankfulness. We do thunk youeach and every one and pray God’s richest blessings. o« you all. It i» a most useful Christmas gift you have sent and will give us i much more speed in our trips to the 1 country and I trusjt thereby greatly increase our work. Surely there will be much joy to each one who gave to this, there will have to be to out stretch our joy and you know our Sa viour said “It is more blessed to give than to receive.” When I think of your unselfishness and kind work in soliciting 'these gifts, when your heart w"as so heavy with sorrow over your great loss, I am deeply touched and I long to be more earnest and zealous for our Lord and Master. I shall enclose copies of this letter and ask you to please send one each to Grover, Kings Mountain, Zion and Bethlehem for me. Perhaps Mr. Weathers, the Star editor would kindly print a copy in his paper that my friends may all know how happy and thankful they have made me this Christmas. ATTIE T. BOSTICK.
