“After graduation Miss Tsai declined a’ number
of flattering offers as teacher, Y. W. C.-A. sec-
retary, etc., in order to return to Nanking for
missionary work. She has shown admirable organiz-
ing ability and has a winning personality. She has
stirred up the women of our congregations in and
near Nanking to an unheard-of liberality in support
of the pastor and other local church-work, as well
as to personal work on the part of many of the
women. She is now interesting them in home mis-
sion work, and a Chinese woman missionary has
actually been sent to Hunan under the support of
our women at Nanking.

“Miss 'l'sai is well known throughout the govern-
ment schools for girls and young women. She gave
some time to teaching in one of the government
normals, with the result that quite a large number
of the girls were converted and desired to give
themselves to Christian work. ‘The vice principal
of the government normal has herself become a
Christian and is giving herself to missionary work
at perhaps one-third the salary that she formerly
received from the school. Miss Tsai was asked to
accompany the party of personal workers who visited
a dozen or more large cities in China at the time
of Dr. Eddy’s meetings last spring. Dr. Eddy and
others of the party said that not only was Miss Tsai
the best qualified for the kind of personal work
they wished to have done, but she was the only
one they knew of available for this service at the
time.

“Tt is such workers as this whom we expect in
increasing numbers from our thorough Christian
training in higher educational institutions.”
