Mokanshan, Aug, 20, Mokanshan begins to wear the aspect of suspended activity. The season is fast drawing to a close and, dally crowds descend to the plain, back to the world of noise and rest lessness. They carry many happy Yemombrances of irees, flowers. and Wooded hill, The clean fresh fir of this mountain top ensures a renewal physical health and added strength, which sweetens the daily round and helps one to take up with courage the stewardship of life, One of the concluding events of interest on Mokanshan was the privilege afforded the community of welcoming the Rev.
