Progress of the Work in China

By Editor

From a letter recently received from Elder I. H. Evans, of China, we are sorry to learn that it has become necessary for Dr. M. M. Kay and wife, of that mission field, to return home on account of the doctor's health. It was a source of great regret for these workers to leave the field, as they have come greatly to love their work, and were anxious to continue its prosecution. Of the general work in China, Elder Evans says: “The workers in Shanghai are all in good health. The new printing-office and mission homes, and homes for the Chinese workers, are under process of erection. The brickwork is nearly or quite completed, and next week the roofs will probably be finished, then the scaffolding will be taken down, and the finish of the interior proceed. The contract calls for the work to be completed by the first of December, but the contractor assures us that he will have it done at least one month before that time. We greatly appreciate the new quarters for the printing-office, as well as the mission homes, and feel deeply grateful for the sacrifice that has made possible the establishment of a suitable headquarters in this interesting and fast-developing field.”

We have in hand the first number of an excellent series of articles from Dr. A. B. Olsen, of Caterham, England. The following subjects will be considered: The Problem of Nutrition; Fuel Foods — Their Selection, Composition, and Preparation; Building and Repair Foods — Their Selection, Composition, and Preparation; The Common-Sense Diet; Some Objections to Flesh Food; Dietetic Accessories; Tea, Coffee, and Cocoa; Patent Foods. We shall begin the publication of these articles soon in our Home and Health department, and we believe they will be read with interest and profit by our readers.
