We giveour gratitude in all sincerity to the kind Providencewho has guided our steps in the past and bestowed onus more mercies than we have been worthy to receive.On the eve of our departure to the States we give ourbest wishes to those who will assist in carrying on thework of the International Institute, and we wish forChina, where we have lived nearly three decades, theblessing of heaven in meeting all the difficulties thatbeset her on every side.
