Show 00 WHERE WAS THE NIGHT SCHOOL? I think I have a match here in Massachusetts Mas-sachusetts for the Korean woman who did not know her husband's name. I knocked at a door; a lady came. I said: "I am making a business directory direc-tory of the town, and need the name of this family." She gave the surname. sur-name. I asked the given name. She roplied, "Ed." I said, "That may mean Edwin, Edward or Edmund. Which should I write?" She answered, "1 don't know; I haven't been married a great while." At another time and place I asked the usual questions and received answers an-swers as usual. But the surname was anything but English, and I said: "I'll have to let you spell It for me." She replied, "I don't spell it; John does." The Christian Herald. |
