After referring to the origins of the camp for aged people, opened with the $4,000 contribution from the International Red Cross, the Salvation Army leader said the biggest recompense he and his workers had felt in connection with this venture, was when an old woman once walked up to him and said: "Sir, I have reached Heaven."
"To have heard this old lady," the speaker declared, "refer to the matshed in which she was being cared for, as Heaven, was indeed a bigger recompense to my workers and myself, than anything else she could have said."
Brigadier Morris told how the Army had been caring for tubercular refugees and lepers and in connection with the latter, mentioned Mr. K. Y. Lee's assistance, who in less than 48 hours made arrangements to find a comfortable habitation for the 50 odd Major-General A. P. D, Telfer-Smollett will pay a farewell call on Mr. C, S. Franklin, Chairman of the Municipal Council, at 1045 am.today. A guard of honour will be provided.
