There were one hundred, nine operations under a general anaesthetic, seventy-three under local anaes- thesia, and two hundred, sixty-six minor operations without anaestheticf' But one of the fine things upon which Mercersburg will congratulate herself is this fact in Dr. Adams' report of this year, Our own medical student, Mr. Lei, has just completed his five-year course at the Union Medical School of Hankow, and graduated. I-le spent a few months in postlgraduate work and has now returned to us. Thus the first fully equipped Chinese modern physician, first of a long line, is presented to this section of China by Mercersburg. The official report of the Medical Department of the China Mission to the Board of Foreign Missions last year closed with this beautiful tribute to Mercersburg: We must also mention the kindness of the friends at Mercersburg. Besides providing the salary of Dr. Adams, and paying for a special post-graduate course for him at the Johns Hopkins Hospital at Baltimore, they have given other gifts of books and instruments during the year, in addition to a liberal donation to the building of the Woman's wing of the Hospital. While on furlough it was the rare privilege of Dr. Adams and family to live at Mercersburg for a part of the time, as the guests of the Academy. The kindnesses shown to them by the Head Master, Dr. Irvine, and his family, the members of the faculty, and other friends will never be forgotten. It added strength and love to our service in China by learning to know the friends who have been so nobly supporting us in the work. The associations with the student body were especially interesting and we came into touch with the life of the school from all points. It was a wonderful inspiration to us all, and we pray that we may be able to transmute their prayers, and gifts, and love into spiritual and physical blessings to the people whom we are privileged to serve in China as their representatives. N No finer tribute could be paid to any school. In the words of Dr. Irvine, This is the Hower of the spirit of Mercersburgf' 9 xlIllllllIIIII!!llIlllllIIIIUll'I'''NIHK1IIIlllllllllI1IIIIIIIIIIll!!IllIIIIIllllfllllllllllllllxx 1 9 1 8 xxllllllIllillllllllllllllllllllllIlllllllllllllllllIllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllIIIIKIIIIIIIIIIX ri. g ,,,
