Our world renowned city still attracts foreigners of various types and nationalities. One hears of them now and again passing through, though few of them remain long enough for the foreign community to meet them. Recently, however, we have had a very interesting visit from a deputation from England consisting of Dr. Ingle and Dr. and Mrs. Moorshead, President and Secretary of the Medical Mission Auxiliary of the English Baptist Mission. Their stay was somewhat prolonged owing to the illness of two members of that mission. They much enjoyed visiting the regulation sights of this famous old city, and appreciated the Governor's feast held in their honour.
There are also other foreign siters with us a Mrs. Gabb, and a British born Chinese doctor. Meeting them for the first time one would imagine this was a foreigner with his Chinese interpreter, but as a matter of fact the foreigner frequently acts as Chinese inter-prefer to Dr. Yang. The latter was born in Canada has a Canadian wife and is now just learning Mandarin. The former has been roving about China for the last 30 years and more. After a conversation with him, one feels that what he does not know about the Chinese is not worth knowing. With ft all, he is British to the back-bone and is quite at henie with all classes and creeds whether foreign or Chinese.
