The Message Enters Shanghai

From a personal letter recently received from Dr. H. W. Miller, written at Shanghai, we take the following: “We have now made arrangements for temporary quarters in a Chinese house in which to conduct our printing work. We have just received word that our first shipment of freight from New York has arrived. We were obliged to rent a house for the eight workers located here. House rent is very high in Shanghai, even higher, I think, than in Takoma Park, although I believe living is somewhat cheaper. We are not in as close contact with the Chinese as we hope to be a little later on. It certainly will be to our advantage to secure a building location early, for prices are going up rapidly, but we must get well acquainted with the ground before purchasing.” This is the first company of our workers to be stationed at Shanghai, and we are indeed glad to know that the message has now entered this most important commercial center of the far East.
