DR. BERTHA SELMON

By Dr. Bertha Selmon

From Ying Shang (April 27)

DR. A. C. is teaching about two and one half hours each day in the Bible institute, using "Thoughts on Revelation" as a text-book, and I teach every forenoon in the girls' school. The girls' school opens daily at 8:40 A.M., with chapel exercises and four periods in the forenoon. The afternoon session, from 2 P.M. to 5 P.M., is divided into four periods. One woman sixty-eight years old is a model of diligence, if she does not accomplish anything more. She can not see very well, but she learns a few characters. She is an earnest believer, and is always smiling. It does me good to see the zeal of some of these poor souls, whose opportunities are so few. A young woman came to the last Sabbath meeting, who is not able to come very often, for her husband beats her every time he finds out that she has done so. Another woman has a daughter-in-law and two sons who oppose her and threaten to starve her if she persists in believing the gospel.
