Every man will have one Chinaman assigned to him, for whom he is solely responsible. The teaching is slow and sometime tedious in spite of the interest shown by the pupil and needs a patient teacher who will make it a point not to miss a single meeting. But when the apparently dull pupil has once mastered the elements of the language, then the progress is rapid, the Chinaman soon takes up the Bible, and well prepared by patient love of his teacher, he is readily led to grasp the truths of the Christian religion...

Perhaps ten or a dozen fellows have enjoyed this rare (?) treat when a sulphurous epithet from the head man in line announces to the patient fellows back of him that the hot-water has given out. Which horn of the dilemma will prove least dangerous is the question which now confronts the men who have not yet bathed; whether to stand there until the hot water is again turned on, in the meantime becoming thoroughly...
