MISSIONARY RETURNING. CheroVeean on His \Vay Hom e Fron China Chinkiang, China, March 21.—It has been nearly seven years since we saw Gaffney, and we are beginning to think it time to make onr appearance. Through The Ledger we hav^ been kept in touch with old friends and with loca; events iu Cherokee. When the Question of leaving hero for home comes up for decision it brings many thoughts with it. When one thinks of breaking up the home here for more than a year and leaving all the asso ciations that have clustered around the making of a home, it makes one feel sad. There i' 1 ' f he little croquet green, where we have had games of croquet for several years and where we have played with visitors from al most all over China: and that old rose hush that wau brought down from Mrs. Bear’s—Mr. Bear has gone to his heavenly homo and Mrs. Bear to America: that cherry tree that i* just having blooms for the first time this soring, the archway of white roses over rhe walk at the front, door: all thp little and big trees in our lit tle yard, and almost every flower, has its stoi» if, tell, its contribution to the hom« feeling. And then the house— what, changes have been made in it those last five or six years, like an old garment that has been patched and changed hut still keeps its old fa miliar look and is ever dear. One be gins to wander vi and down and to muso and to look tt this and that. | What stories of sufferln and happi ness, of hopes and despair, are asso-! ciated with the rooms, with tie pieces of furniture. That room is where for six long weeks Mrs. Crock er lav sick with fever, and it was on that bureau that I put the medicines; and tkerp I put lire glass holding the thermometer--O. those temperatures! There is the fireside where Bessie played and where Maggie learned to walk. The place sneaks of sorrow and struggles, of joy and home, of counsel*.- and hopes. Weil, we must leave it al] for a while: mutt' nack. pack, nack, and live in boxes, and put all these horn® things away! And then the work. Old Gwoti, the chapel keener, came and said. “I hear -mu are going home.” and th P tears came fnto his eyes. The familiar road to the chanel, the crowds of listeners, the trios to the country, the counsels with the brethren, the encouragements, the depressions and difficulties, the fa miliar voices and faces, the feeling of responsibility for the church a^d the work, the love which has com© to lighten the burdens. ,a love which is mutual with some of the brethren— all these things, and more, gather in to one’s heart and hold one to the place. How often have I come out of the diape] at night full of the feeding of exhileration and happiness of hav ing done mv best to preach the old gosrtpl. ajid the stars shrfwn down an answering joy. I pul] the latch of the front gate, the gate hel] rings, the gate is unlocked, the long flight of stone steps is climbed and a glare of light and home comfort greets me as I open the door, and my wifie says. “Have you had a good meetin 0 ' tn- nigfet?” When one begins to pull up the flower he sees how deeply its roots strike in. But let me turn to the other side. There is here some kind of spiritual atmosphere which lurks around ev erythin" ,anfl everywhere—a feeling that we are here, after all only aliens, loved by a very few, tolerated by some, hated by the multitude, the kind of hatred that could jump on the face of littlo Gracv K high am with hob nail boots and crush the life out of the white face. There is always that feel ing that there (- all about' us a strong element thirsting for our blood, and one often starts at an unusual soilnd on the streets, at sight of an unusual crowd—oh. this nerve dUkracting ev erlasting apprehension! Especially is this hard on the women, who go so little among the people. When one is out among the people everv dar one gets more used to the ways of them. And then there is the terrible strain of conatant contact with fearful dis eases and no way of protecting one self from contagion. The dirt and filth and smells are depressing some time" and one lougs for cleanliness— clean roads, clean houses among the people, and clean persons. ♦-And then after being soaked in this atmosphere for so long a time, we turn to thoughts of the home "and. The native land calls, the blue hills and the sound of the cow-bell in the meadow, the rustl- and roar of the trail, the electric stir of the life, but more than all. the home faces. Our mind dwells on the feeling we would j have when we come whirling round | th a curve and see a glimpse of the station and the crowd on the home platform, and then the crunching of the brakes and the train slows down, and. bag in hand, wo stand on the platform and see the loved faces that have been shining in our memories for all these years there waiting and looking for a welcome! But let us draw the curtain over the scene, for there are tens of thousands of miles to g* vet; let us hope we may once more feel the thrill of the home life. And then the friends at home, the hhnd-shakings. the meetings, the fine preachers we shall hear—why, we will just swin in the home sympathy the kindliness, the unlift, the grear con gregations, the strong and tender faces. And then the country in the summer tlm© and the fruit and water melons. But these reflections must stop. W. E. Crocker. P.
