Siam: Kenneth Was Always Getting Something Done
Ma Pawm and Ah Sim came to the Landons very poor and not so nice looking. Margaret taught both of them many things and they greatly improved. Ma Pawm was fond of Kenneth and even more so of Carol when she was born. There was a lot of work to do, and the servants were noisy, but they improved in this as well.

Kenneth on the Story of Ah Peh and the Viper Bite
Ah Peh was clearing out the pineapples behind the house, under Margaret's direction. There were hundreds of them, making a haven for cobras and vipers. As Ah he worked, a viper struck him in the lower leg, and he became very sick. Kenneth rushed him down to the hospital. He was treated and got back to normal in a couple of days. Two weeks later he was terribly sick again, but the doctor couldn't see anything wrong. Eventually they located a spot in the coolie back and extracted quite a bit of pus. The viper struck at the ankle, but the problem developed in the back. The coolie felt much relieved, and cheerful, returned to work, and was his old self.

Siam: Kenneth About the Begging Leper
A story from the Thailand years. The Landons had a leper who used to come and beg. He would come once a week to the Landons' house and stand under the veranda, begging. The man came weekly for several years, never any more than once a week. One day the man came begging again, but this time he added that he had been stricken on the head. Kenneth went out onto the veranda, and the man almost collapsed from weakness below. Kenneth took him to the hospital and in a day or so, he was dead.

Kenneth tells again of his experience with the phosphorescent sea off the coast of Thailand. It was the Gulf of Siam. Kenneth was traveling on a moonlit night for twenty-five to thirty miles. He describes the sea and the strong impression that the phosphorescent sea had on him and his companions. It was the most incredible, eerie experience, almost heavenly, or angelic. You just could hardly feel it was of this world. It was so unusual. We were just floating on a sea of fire. And the other people in the boat with me were awestruck by it.

Kenneth tells the story of two nice rugs he bought in Damascus. On his way to New York he passed through Marseilles (France) and was required by customs to pay $100. Eventually an American shipping company representative offered to ship them to New York. Kenneth reunited with his family in the US and nine months went by without the rugs coming. When they finally arrived, they stank. Kenneth discovered that the rugs arrived in New York and the mission board shipped them to Siam, thinking the Landons were still there, but they were shipped back to the US.

John would run the taxi business, and the other fellow would run the girl side of things. There were a lot of prostitutes hanging around the hotel, but they said Kenneth wouldn't have to be involved with that (he hadn't told them that he was a Presbyterian missionary). Kenneth thanked them for their offer but declined, said good-bye to John, and boarded his ship for a slow trip through the Mediterranean.

They would go as friends, and Kenneth would pay all the gas, food, and lodging expenses, to which the Armenian agreed. A very nice fellow. The two of them toured all over Palestine, the Dead Sea, and the Sea of Galilee, where they stayed with some monks.

The second was Kenneth's involvement in collecting important materials about Thailand and Japan, as well as his encounters with the Japanese photographer-dentists (actually spies). He wrote an article about his experiences and the need to do mission so as to promote the independence of local churches from foreign missions. All this caused troubles and the Landons put their ideas in paper for the mission officials that were meeting in New York. They explained that they could no longer follow the mission policies in place and that they were resigning.

Then he stood and addressed the issue, using three or four different ways of saying the same thing in Chinese dialects.

Siam: Kenneth on Ministering to the Chinese in His Parish, esp. Through Building Schools
In his parish, there were at least two million people, and a substantial portion were Chinese working on rubber gardens and tin mines. They had no Chinese schools for their children. Kenneth had the bright idea that perhaps he could interest them in building primary schools, say, through the fourth grade, to teach their children Chinese and Chinese culture and history and so on. He was concerned that they were rapidly losing their culture. All of the Chinese communities that built schools with Kenneth's help became Christian, developed their own churches, and of course needed pastors, some of whom they brought down from China.

Siam: Kenneth on Acquiring Chinese
Chinese language.
The officials in southern Thailand were mostly Chinese, so Kenneth began to learn the Chinese language from them. He used cards on which he had the Chinese phonetic word on one side and the English meaning on the other. He later got the Chinese phonetic New Testament and its phonetic dictionary in the Swatow dialect. In six months he was able to conduct a church service in Chinese, in this Swatow dialect. He and Ngiap Seng always spoke Chinese. Kenneth would practice as they rode in buses or sat in coffee shops; wherever

Siam: Kenneth on Making Up Stories for the Children
Margaret cared for the children during the day, but Kenneth was always the one who put them to bed at night. They counted on this, and they always wanted him to tell them stories. He made the stories up as he went, continuing stories that went on and on night after night. The kids would have to remind him where he had left off. He could never remember. Kip recalls that Kenneth did the same thing when he was a boy, and particularly recalls stories of Henry and the monkeys. Bill and Kip had a similar complaint, because they would want their father to tell a story over again that they had particularly enjoyed, and Kenneth never could. He didn't remember what he had told them.

Siam: Kenneth on His Appendicitis and Bill's, Taking Medication
Appendicitis.
Kenneth tells of his appendicitis that he discovered while on a tour. He tested himself and came to a conclusion on his own diagnosis before rushing back to Bangkok for medical attention. He was operated on there and the appendicitis was removed. Years later, in Illinois, Bill had the same problem. Kenneth diagnosed him and concluded that he had appendicitis as well, but the doctor doubted him. Bill was taken to a surgeon who concluded that Bill had appendicitis and he did the operation. Bill never liked taking medicine, so Kenneth had to force him most of the time.
