Miss Bruce Writes
Of Journey To India
Miss Miriam Bruce,daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. T. H. Hruce, of thin city, left
hero In .June for India, where sho 1*
doing missionary work. She haw written
a friend, telling of her Journey
and some of the custom* of the people.
We have the consent of the reclplent
to reproduce tills letter and
we know it will he received with Intereat
hy our readers The letter Is
dated at But at. India. September 23.
193tJ, and reads lu part aa follows:
Now that I am in India 1 can better
give you my Intinerary than 1 could
before leaving home. Ho If you will
get your maps you can now follow nte
all the way front) New York to Burat, I
leaving New York ut midnight on
Saturday, June 13, we sailed for ttve
and a half day** before reaching Southampton
on Friday afternoon, the
19th. This wan a delightful trip all
the way. The Bremen Is a wonderful
ship, having every convenience which
can he found In the very beat hotel in
America. Two electric elevators plyink
between decks. Wo bad nice ntu-T
ulcal concerts?a band concert >>ou
deck each morning while the stewaids
served refreshments, a lovely orchestra
playing classical selections
during afternoon tea and at dinner
also. Then, in the evening, there was
an orchestra for those who cared to
dance.
Before arriving at Southhampton
we docked at Cherbourg, France, for
about two hours Friday morning, ilut
none of the passengers were allowed
ashore except those who were stopping
there.
At Southampton we were met by a
representative of Thomas Cook and 1
Sons, who helped us (by "us", I mean I
the other young lady who traveled
with me,) through customs and got
us safely aboard the boat train which
took us to London in about two hours.
Our boat, the S. S "kaisar-l-Hind."
for Bombay, was to sail from Southampton,
the day following our arrival
there, ho we left our trunks and other
heavy luggage to be put on board as
we did not plan to sail from Southampton.
In London we were met by bur S.
P. A. transportation agent, and after
going to his office for further instructions,
we took a train out to Watford,
about twenty miles away, where o.ur
sanitarium is located. We .stayed
there until the next Thursday morning,
taking frequent trips Into London
for sightseeing. It was the realization
of a great ambition of mine to
see famous old Westminster Abbey.
It was my privilege to attend a morning
prayer service there.
On Thursday morning we took the
train from I.ondon to Dover. At Dover
we went aboard a ferry which
took us across the Channel to Calais.
France. At Calais, we were again
"exposed" to the customs officers, but
as we were in transit they passed us
without any difficulty. From Calais,
we went by train across France thru
Paris to Marsailles, where we arrived I
on Friday morning about nine o'clock
and found our good ship already in
port. We had several hours yet be-1
fore time for sailing and so I availed
myself of a sightseeing tour which
was very interesting.
After Marseailles. our first port was
the island of Malta. We reached there
at night and the boat stopped only I
long enough to land and lake on passengers.
I should have liked to look
around a bit there as that is the 1
island where the apostle Paul was I
shipwrecked, (called "Melita" in Acts
28:1..) From there on. I felt as If I
were In more or less sacred territory, J
as most of those waters or the shores I
which they touch are historical placesl
of the Bible.
Our next port of call was Port Said,
Kgypt. We arrived there in the morning
and as we wove to spend several]
hours, the passengers were allowed]
ashore. I did not get away from the]
water-front but I saw enough of the
people and their dress to. realize that,]
I was leaving Western civilization he-]
hind me.
After IV)rt Said we sailed through ]
the Suez Canal. This is a very tiar-1
row passage with stretches of desert]
on either side. As we were sailing]
through this canal late in the evening]
we could see the camels wending
their way homeward. They were very]
picturesque, silhouetted against the
evening sky. After the Suez Canal,
there was. of course, the Red Sea.
Here again. I was thinking of the children
of Israel as they journeyed from
Kgypt to the Promised land. Somewhere
between Port Said and Aden,
we crossed the very path which they
took in tills pilgrimage.
At Aden on the southern const of
Arabia, we again went ashore, and I
was glad for the opportunity of
other sightseeing trip which 1 enjoyed
very much'. I went on this ttip,
about five miles hack into the hills
where the "Tanks" which wore mnI
strut ted about 600 B C. I believe, are
j located Those tanks are huge reservoirs
which were hewn out of the
solid rock at different levels You
I see it only rains in Aden once in >i\
J or eight \ears. and when it does rain
| these tanks receive the water which
c oines down the mountain side The
last rain which had fallen whet I
J was there was in February,
i k mm the tanks we were taken across
the desert about ten miles to an
Oa.-is where water is pumped and
, piped into the city lor the use of tha
, people there

. rough and I there learned wtiat real
I sense kness is. When, on the ninth
of July, we sighted the coast of India,
it was a blessed sight. We landed iti
| Bombay about seven o'clock Thursday
evening. July 9.
t 1 spent the night In Bombay with
i one of our American missionary fam;
ilics Knrly the next morning. 1 start- i
j ed out for Surat. which is 167 miles
I north of Bombay, by train. It was
I not until now that 1 realized just what
It moans to he a foreigner. Riding
In tlte same railway compartment
with me were three Indian ladies who
could neither speak nor understand
English. And. of course. I could neith-j
<-r understand their language nor talk
to them. A HtraiiKo thins about In(Man
trains is that they have no conductor
or porter to cpjue through the
traiu and call the Stations. When
Mr Plenum put mq on the train a
few mi nut ?h before 9 o'clock hp ?ald,
Now sometime about two 'o'clock
you ehould got to Surat, ho be ou the
lookout." And I found that that wan
j11hi whut I had to do. 80 when it
wan "about two o'clock" I began to
watch out and when 1 Haw a slgi%on
a atation platform which read "Surat,"
I knew 1 had urrlved, but that wge
1 lie only means I had of knowing my
Htution. This makes it rather difficult
when one is traveling at night.,
otherwise, the railroad systems in
India are excellent. On a mall or
express train it is only live hours
from here to Bombay.
I like India even more than 1 bad
thought. 1 am happy to be here because
I believe that this is where
the Lord would have me he, and
where I can serve Him best.
Since the second (lay after my arrival
I have been struggling with the
(iujarats* language. It's really terrible?at
least, It seemed so at first.
Even though 1 cannot speak yet I can
understand u little of whut I hear
ami it does not seem unite so hard
as at iirst.
The people and their customs are
all strange and yet in a great many
respects I do not find them much
different from our negroes. I think,
having been reared where there are
so many negroes, that I shall have
less difficulty in getting along with
them than some of those who have
never been among the negroes. These
people, however, although they are
dark skinned and some of them very
dark, do not belong to the black race
but rather, are of Aryan descent.
We have not begun our hospital
work yet, Dr. Nelson and his family
have been here about a month. We
aro still trying to find a suitable building.
TJie decision now rests between
two buildings and I hope that wo
shall know within the next ten days.
I try to reconcile myself with the
thought that i am now in the East
and cannot expect things to move as
rapidly as In America. After our
building is chosen we must then wait
two or three months (maybe not quite
so long) until proper alterations have
been made.
I am almost ashamed to call myself
a missionary. I have so many of the
comforts of life. We have electric
lights and running water and we can
buy Ice as cheaply as you can at
home. FVigidalre is a modern convenience
enjoyed by many folks out
here. However, we do not have the
pleasure of one of them.
We have delicious fruits and vegetables
of almost any kind you might
wish. ?It is just as well that we are
vegetarians for the meat Is not fit to
-be used for dog-food most of the time.
These poor folks do not know the
first rule of sanitation.
There is certainly a vast work to
be done. If we tried- to work alone,
the task would be impossible. I am
thankful for the work of the Holy
Spirit and that Christ will dwell within
us If we only yield our lives wholly
to Him. It is only through His indwelling
presence that the task of
evangelizing the heathen can be accomplished.
If Christians at home
could catch only a glimpse of the
need In these darkened corners of
earth they would not spare of their
means or prayers, to uphold those
who have undertaken to point those
who wait in darkness to Him who is
their Saviour, Redeemer and Friend.
Thank you again for your sweet
letter, and for your Interest in me and
my work.
Lovingly,
Miriam Bruce.
WILL YOUR NAME BE NEXT?
The past summer was one of the
worst on record in the matter of automobile
accidents and deaths.
And the most dangerous driving
months aro still to come?the months
of rain and Ice, and few daylight
hours.
Every season sees better, more
scientifically designed highways?and
yet accidents grow worse, both in
number and severity. Every year
sees stronger, more easily controlled,
and mechanically safer cars?yet the
carnage grows
It Is true that a percentage of accidents
can be directly attributed to
mechanical failure of automobiles, or
to road conditions. This percentage
marks but a very smaii part of the
total of crashes. The human element
I Is responsible, and alone responsible,
.for the great majority of accidents,
minor or major.
Worst menace of all is the driver
who attempts to push the throttle
through the iloor-board?who operates
his car at excessive speeds. And excessive
speed is a flexible term?
there are times when fifty is safe, and
fifteen too fast.
Then there are the drivers who
pass on hills and curves, who hog
the centerline, who allow their car
to wander to the wrong side of the
road- -ami drivers who commit a
thousand and one driving errors that
may save a minute, and may also
send themselves and others into
eternity.
You see many headlines like: "Five
Killed When Cars Collide." You read
the names of the victims, go on to
other articles and forget all about
them. Next time you see such a headline
just reflect that your name, or
the name of a friend or loved one,
may be in the next similar list of
corpses. Then it won't be so easy |
to forget.?Industrial News Review.

! FLORIDA PEOPLE HAVE
8TRANQE PJET8, HOBBIE8
Habitat of persons with strange
hobbles and even stranger pots la
Florida, whom; environment seems to
lend much to theae old occupations.
One of the strangest of trades was
that of "Alligator Joe" Coppinger,
who owned an alligator farm in the
Florida Everglades, ruining the alligators
and eelling the hides.
When the great Florida hurricane
of came along he had about 1,600
ulllgatorH and crocodiles on the farm.
The force of the hurricane picked up
the?e pets and set them down throughout
the surrounding territory.
Ah the hurricane began to subside,
Coppinger and his son, Henry, began
searching for the alligators, invading
swamps and pulling them out of
streams. Henry would grab one of
the beasts by the snout and hold it
while his father helped lift it inside
a truck. Within a few days Henry
and his wrestling ability had landed
the 'gators inside of new and comfortable
pens.
Out of the episode Henry took up
wrestling alligators and crocodiles as
a hobby?which now gives him money
because he makes many appearances
before the public.
Probably the "tallest," although in
this case it is Indeed true, fish story
comes out of Key West, Fla., where
Raul Vascquez calls his pet flsli out
of a pool to feed them when meal
time rolls around every afternoon.
Vascquez knows Ashing in waters
around Florida backward and forward.
He Ashed the gulf stream not
for the thrill of landing a Aghting
Ash, but to obtain food for himself.
Several years ago he pulled a small
grouper from the water and was about
to throw it back when he decided to
take it home and see if the Ash would
live in a small pool he had built there.
The Floridan had a lot of fun with
that Ash, permitting none but himself
to feed him. Soon he'd go out and
tap on a rock with a stick and the
grouper would stick its head out to
take food from the man's Angers.
One day when he did this Vascquez
nonchantly dropped his hand andstroked
the side of the grouper which,
instead of darting away, turned over
on its side as a cat or dog will do
when it is rubbed.
In a short time Raul caught a few
more Ash, tossed them into the pool,
and was launched on a hobby. He fed
them so well?usually with Florida
lobster?that the cannibalistic Ash
stopped their desire to feed on their
fellows:
'You. can keep a Asn oui of water
nearly a minute before it bothers
him," Raul says as he picks up one
to pet it. He should know because
now he has more than thirty Ash
in the pool, and all come up to be
fed when"the man taps on a rock at
the side of the pool.
Another strange hobby that comes
but of Florida, is that of Katherine
Reid, who once lived with her father
in that part of the Everglades where
their only neighbors were alligators,
crocodiles and Seminole Indians.
Katherine's father supplied alligators
for various farms throughout the
district, and the girl always wept
with Mr. Reid when he would visit
these farms. On one occasion an
enterprising farmer was exhibiting
two ostriches for the beneAt of tourists.
The birds caught Katherine's
eye and launched her on a hobby.
The ostriches, she found, were wild,
and she was determined to get a pair
and tame them. She did, and introduced
ostrich racing in Florida.
Probably the grimmest of all occu?
pntions is that of Alexander Ott,
whose hobby is catching sharks. He
already has killed 1,500 of the denizens
of the deep?more than any other
man living.
Off the Florida coast, between j
Miami and Key West, there are 600 |
known varieties of flsh. j
