and it will be left to us each one to decide in the light of the dictates of our own
consciences as to whether we have any responsibility towards its solution.
And as I close, standing here in the atmosphere of this sympathetic audience, I
seem to hear again the words of Him Whose voice is still charged with all the
tenderness of that day when “He was moved with compassion” as He gazed upon
the multitude; a Voice that throbs and pulsates with Divine Love as it gives utterance;
“I was hungry and ye gave me meat; I was thirsty and ye gave me drink; I was a
stranger and ye took me in; naked and ye clothed me.”
D . V . (L a t i n : D e o v o l e n t e = G o d w i l l i n g ) I retain my connection with the
International Famine Relief Commission until the end of the year, visiting Peking and
possibly Shensi during the next few weeks. In February we hope to sail for Canada,
accompanied by our daughter Aileen, and join our elder boy in Toronto. Our younger
son, Mervyn, remains at School here in Chefoo, to complete his course. I think we
shall be visiting the States sometime in the spring but the Mission address, 150 St.
George Street Toronto will be the one which will find us most readily. We do look
forward keenly to meeting once more many of you friends.
And now in closing, we would take this opportunity of thanking so many of you for
the letters of sympathy which poured in upon us when Dad was taken Home. In the
Providence of God he was taken ill just four days before I was to have left for
Kansuh and mercifully spared a long illness. On his deathbed he urged me to go and
leave him, but I remained until on the 10th February when he entered radiantly into
the Presence. He was laid to rest on the 12th and I left on the 14th. We miss him
much.
With Warm greetings,
Yours sincerely,
George and Fanny Findlay Andrew.
