A few weeks later, while in China I was in a railroad accident. Although Iwas not hurt, several were injured seriously. The doctor was called immediately and surely enough, he was our South Carolinian, James Glenn, now one of the greatest surgeons in the world, and with him his ever willing nurse, Lizzie Tyson. I was very much interested in both and also the patients: so called the next morning and found a noted missionary sent over by our Southern Baptist Convention. VVho? Yes, it really was Rev. Harry VVhite, and with him his ever ready co-worker, Miss Linda Gray Melton. Think of it, these four in China, helping in every way the cause of humanity! Icame back to America by the way of the Pacific Ocean, and while in California visited Hollywood, where I found our handsome William Ricks a movie star in western pictures. He threatens to rival even William Hart.

My next stop of importance was Asheville, N. C. I was somewhat tired, and wishing to be alone to think, I walked about two miles out into the country, and imagine my delight when I recognized in the trim young woman coming towards me, our born teacher, Nolia Forsythe. She was teaching in a little school up there in the quiet of the mountains, and said that she was perfectly happy and would always remain in the Old North State. Raleigh, ever nearing home! I dropped into the Red Cross Cafeteria for supper and found the same quiet, lovable girl, Mary Beal, dietician. The next day I drove over to Wake Forest, my last town for work, and Thirty-o
