User-Contributed Transcription shock to them all and a great warning and opportunity for a solemn lesson for us to give them. We went to his funeral Wed. P.M. Our meeting there was Thurs and it was my turn to preach. Stella was sick and couldn't go. Amy Chambers (from Ireland, going to China C.I.M) went with me. It was a solemn meeting and solemn time. We had a little talk with the Desk Sargent afterwards. And another officer told us that another officer's little girl had died Saturday and we forced out where he lived and we went to see his wife. And she is a very beautiful little woman and very lonely without her baby - the first and only baby, only five month's old. She is Danish. Her father and mother came in while we where there - a nice fat Danish couple, speak no English. Friday night we had a good meeting at the home, a nice Christian Norwegian
