Medical Missionary Writes of His Siam Experiences
Waterloo relatives received a letter from Dr. Paul W. Van Metre, former Waterloo resident, describing life in Nakawa Srita maret Siam.

He expresses hope in spreading the gospel amid limited missionaries and reports attentive women in a veranda class.
