TOPOGRAPHICAL NOTES — NINGPO. 151 



I shall shortly have most regretfully to bid the city and its surroundings a final 

 farewell but I shall never fail to recall the numberless acts of kindness, of courtesy and of 

 unselfish assistance that I have invariably experienced ! It can rain in Ningpo and in its 

 rainy season, the mildew season of June, it sometimes seems as though it never would cease 

 to rain. But the sky lifts and the suns and sunrise and sunset skies of Ningpo are bright 

 and glorious indeed. God grant to this city of my adoption, " the peaceful wave " of His 

 blessing; the "Light of Asia," the "Light of the World," the "True Light," to arise and 

 shine on her sons and daughters.
