Englishman as Buddhist Monk
Mr. George P. Hutchesson, son of Professor J. F. Hutchesson, now of the Ministry of Justice, Bangkok, and formerly a master at Cheltenham, England, has donned the yellow robe and has become a Buddhist monk at a Bangkok temple. Mr. Hutchesson, who is 24, has had leanings towards Buddhism for several years. He revisited England last year and while there decided on the step he has now taken. Like every other monk he sets forth daily at dawn from the temple where he resides to beg his food from the faithful, who account it an act of merit to provide food for the Buddhist clergy.
