Never in all it history has Yushan seen such great doings as took place fon Gen, Chiang Kal-shek's birthday. Never has there been such whole hearted rejoicings or such hearty partictpations in any other national festivity. One could not but feel that Gen, Chiang has won the hearts as well as the respect of the people, who understand anything of their country's welfare, We too,, were caught in the excite. ment, and'our young people decorated our Gospel Hall on the street most ly, 'Thelr_speelal. pride was an eagle, which they found on the roof, when fastening the garlands at the top. The burning sun of the last few weeks had thoroughly dried it, and it was Just ike a stuffed bird,' with Outspread. wings, As they fastened} it above the entrance, the emblem of power and strength, with some pretty characters, made of white cotton wool, did look imposing and was much admired. Then one of our teachers hnd written a pale of serehs in honour of the day, lauding Gen. Chiang a3 the peacemaker of the realm.
