[00:13.65]A Solitary 1 Quest

[00:15.83]From my suite 2 of rooms

[00:18.78]atop the Holiday Inn

[00:20.40]I surveyed the narrow alleys 3 below me.

[00:23.58]Only yesterday had I left

[00:26.97]my frantic 4 North American life behind,

[00:29.70]to avail myself of an opportunity

[00:31.89]to travel to China.

[00:33.64]I wished to spend time

[00:36.49]researching material for my thesis

[00:39.11]pertaining to Eastern religions.

[00:41.30]The hotel was in close proximity 5

[00:45.46]to the heart of the old downtown.

[00:48.19]Innumerable activities were happening below me.

[00:52.57]People surged along the street sometimes

[00:55.96]stopping to bargain with street vendors 6.

[00:58.91]Cucumbers, tomatoes, apples, oranges

[01:03.95]and grapes were heaped on hand carts.

[01:06.68]The variety of fruit available

[01:09.86]provided a virtual feast for the eyes.

[01:13.03]Deliverymen jogged along

[01:16.20]pulling enormous loads of cardboard.

[01:18.71]To a Westerner's eyes cars merged 7

[01:22.43]unbelievably without incident.

[01:24.85]It appeared to be a dubious 8 process

[01:28.35]to negotiate the traffic

[01:30.31]and even cross the street.

[01:32.06]However, rather than lounging indoors,

[01:36.55]I decided 9 to venture outside

[01:39.18]to explore the colorful world below.

[01:41.58]I was interested in

[01:44.53]locating a church to attend,

[01:46.18]as today was Sunday.

[01:47.93]On the street I made tentative enquiries

[01:52.30]about locating a Christian 10 chapel 11.

[01:55.25]At times the congestion 12 of people

[01:58.54]hampered my progress.

[02:00.29]Stares from passers-by made me feel conspicuous 13.

[02:04.78]The weather was hot and humid

[02:07.73]and there was some possibility of a typhoon

[02:10.46]reaching the city later in the day.

[02:13.09]After several false leads

[02:16.85]I found myself standing 14

[02:18.60]in front of a very old Christian Church,

[02:22.21]established by missionaries 15 during the last dynasty

[02:26.04]and at the beginning of the last century.

[02:28.99]With the onset 16 of a light sprinkle,

[02:32.16]I made a hasty retreat to shelter

[02:34.90]in the doorway 17 of the church.

[02:36.87]The familiar refrain of well-known hymns 18

[02:40.70]rang out within the church.

[02:42.34]I felt drawn 19 inside to

[02:44.96]join the fellowship in a foreign land.

[02:47.48]Even though our languages differed,

[02:50.66]my gracious hosts nonetheless,

[02:53.17]made room for me,

[02:54.48]and made me feel welcome.
