A book is a medium through which someone has written what he has seen, felt, imagined, experienced or discovered. The author tries to convey to you in words this knowledge and information. Different authors call on different abilities of the mind. For in- stance, you can learn to understand much of life with the reading of Shakespeare, reason with Plato, medi- tate with Emerson, to observe with Burroughes, to Weigh and concentrate with Bacon, to think with Soc- rates, to share Lincoln’s compassion, to feel the stir and drama of Churchill, and generally to profit spiritual- ly from minds deeper and broader than your own.

Mrs. Cassidy was thanked for her message by Mrs. Heston of the Villa. Mrs. Cassidy agreed with Dr. Norman, a well-known Canadian missionary and an authority on Japan. that missionaries should not be sent out for short terms. “It takes time to love and under- stand the natives of another coun- try," she stated. She pointed out that the growth of national feel- ing has begun to make a definite change in the position of mission- aries. She stressed the need for missionaries to be totally free from racial superiority and preju- dice. The missionaries must be sympathetic to national aspira- tions and must learn to adapt themselves to many things. All countries experiencing an up- surge of nationalism resent for- eign domination. Even missions must have native Africans, Jap- anese or Indians in charge. “The missionary of today,” she stated therefore, “must, face a continual frustration with the language and those who sometimes betray their trust.” And above all, a mission- ary must possess a patient passion to make Christ known. They must go, not to teach a religion, but to introduce the person of Jesus Christ." “The Missionary Of Today," she declared, “must be able to live in an unstable political situ~ ation, as we did in China.” Ac- cording to Mrs. Cassidy. China was always unstable. “The only thing missionaries were certain ‘of was uncertainty." Miss Kay Hutton of the Villa was in charge of the devotional part of the meeting. The speaker was Mrs. Bertha Cassidy, former missionary in China and Japan. Mrs. Cassldy spent 50 years in China and 6 years in Japan. She discussed the new situation on the mission fields today.
