Book Description

Excerpt from The Woman's Home Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church: Twenty-Ninth Annual Report of the Board of Managers for the Year 1909-10, And, Handbook for 1911; The Twenty-Ninth Annual Meeting Was Held at the Richmond Avenue Church, Buffalo, New York, October 19 26, 1910 More than three years ago the Chinese Bureau stepped blithely out on its building enterprise, thinking it was a short and straight path to the new Oriental Home. The plans for a larger building made it necessary to acquire more land, and the effort to consummate the transfer of, that property has led us into a devious pathway. There were obstructions over which we stumbled. There were snags that held us waiting, waiting, waiting for weary months. The Chinese Bureau has at last received the deeds to the lots on Washington Street, San Francisco, on which the Oriental Home will be built. There remains now the process of law to re-establish the title. This is a proceeding required of all property holders in San Francisco since the great fire of 1906 destroyed the records. Since we are so near to the realization of our hopes, we beg you, sisters, to be generous with your pledges to our building fund and so smooth the way for the immediate construction of our building.
