Title

Siam: Kenneth's Letter Home: Music and Sengora

Description

Kenneth wrote a letter to his mother who had sent him a songbook. He owned several musical instruments. He was in Sengora where he expected to stay for a month or so. It was a very disorderly city. The Chinese were astonished at Kenneth's language ability. He held communion in Chinese. He had a very good experience with a Lord Lieutenant to whom Kenneth presented the Christian hope. A missionary in Bangkok had criticized Kenneth's method of using governmental channels for his evangelistic endeavors, but the Lord Lieutenant approved of it and said it made better citizens.
