now sales agent for the Standard Oil

"Kentucky State men are not numer

at Hangchow, not far north on the
coast, and I held out hopes of fleeing
him until yesterday, when orders came
transferring me to Saigon,
about the middle of October.
Morrie is blazing the path of Christianity through the dismal forest of
Chinese infidelity and I am selling all
the lubricating oil possible in order
to make his going easy."
