According to Taste. Discussing missionary work. Mme. Helene Vincente, the well-known Congo Con-go missionary, said at a dinner in Cleveland: "A Chinese heaven strikes you as ludicrous. Yet here in your own country coun-try you are careful to fit heaven and the er other place to your people's dislikes. "Thus, on my recent southern trip, I heard a Georgia negro divine describe de-scribe hades as ice cold, a place where the wicked shiver and freeze through all eternity. I asked the divine di-vine why he altered in that radical manner the usual description of hades, and he replied: " 'Ah don' darst tell mah people nuf-fin' nuf-fin' else, marm. Why, if Ah sed hades wuz wahm, some o' dese ole rheumatic rheumat-ic breddern an' sistern o' mine would be wantin' ter staht right down dah come fust frost.' "
