Continued from l<int week. Rvutut'iink Letter. I am euro you would like to go with ine through a Sunday morninttuervlce - first, to the nix o'clock chapel meeting, where no mutter how rainy or unpleasant. the Lord will surely meet and bless bis faithful ones. It would do your hearts gootl to hear some of the testimonies and prayers; for instance, Farmer Anderson’s joyful words, even amidst much physical sufferings; his praise for the wonderful love of (iod. and Ids own unfaltering faith in that God, no matter how dark things may lie in Ids own heart. 1 tell you, life always seems better and heaven dearer when be has Unished his little exhortation to ns to be faithful and to love one another. Then I should like you to hear Mammy Eliza’i praise for deliverance from physical slavery, and prayer that he who has delivered her body from an “open sea,” will hold her soule safely by astrong hand; and as you look upon her face, seamed by age, sin. and sullering, your heart will go up in a mighty prayer for her spiritual deliverance, her tinal victory. There are many others to whom you would like to listen among the country people and the mission children, making the Sunday morning meeting a very feast of good tldngs to our souls; there are other good tldngs for us, if we have our boots, umbrellas, and coals. If not it's no use to ask my interpreter to go down town; he will shake Ids head, look at your unprotected shoes, and say, decidedly, “No, ma; bs'n by that doctor will make palaver on me, if you get sick .” So, if you want to go out in the town, wear your boots and carry your umbrella, and you will be surprised at the many interesting things my interpreter will tell us about the people we meet and the things we see. I f the people are doing anything they don't want us to see, and they hear of our coming, they will hide, of course; but we will slip around softly and find many subjects for missionary addresses. There will be little talk of encouragements. and talk ol reproval, talks of comfort to those who are trying, and of warning to the carlless; then to the strangers the story of our Lord. Ob, I cannot tell you the pleasure there is in giving to these hungry, starving ones tfie bread of life! Then there are the Mohammedans. We must talk with them a little bit They are, as a rule, fine looking, intelligent men. At first when I began work among these people, J was horrified to hear them talk of Mohammed and deny the divinity of Christ, but now 1 pity them; oh, so great is their need! One morning after I had been talking about the Christian life in comparison with the

life Mohammed offers, one of the men who had been listening asked: ‘ Can you bend the strong tree? We are old men; you can work with our children, but there is but one faith for us.” “I cannot bend the strong tree.” I told him, “but Jesus Christ can as easily and effectually as he can train the little child, if only you in your hearts consent to do it.” They followed a long talk in which was revealed the beggary of the Mohammedan religion in promise or comfort. Will you not pray with us and for us, that only the pure gospel of our risen Lord may be spoken, fearlessly and boldly, and that he, in his own time and way. will bring some power to bear upon these deluded ones and that even the “strong tree" may be bent by the eternal love of God and they be Bayed from a religion which is at once superstitious, comfortless and cruel? But, I'm afraid you'll think me a partial friend. I’ve kept you so long with my Mohammedan people, while there are yet the old and sick to visit. Oh! how it makes the heart ache to see so much suffering and bo unable to relieve it. This is one of our greatest trials. The people know nothing of the care and patience which they require or the necessity of following directions in the use of medicines. I think that I can safely say that more people die from lack of proper care than from any other cause. Let me describe one scene I witnessed just last night. A member of the seeker's class had been absent several mornings, and upon inquiry, I found her busband very sick. 1 told them to send at once to the doctor for medicine. A few days later the doctor was starting out to see some sick people, and 1 went with her Among other places was the house (I cannot call it a home) of the persons whom I have spoken. There lay the poor old than on a mat on the ground floor; the house being doorless, the strong breeze was blowing upon him. and carrying with it tjie smoke of the fire in the middle of the room—not an article of clothing on except the ioin girdle—a country'bloth lying near by—a temperature of 104 degrees,—and his condition is better than that of many people. A poor Si'sn man who had wandered from his tribe and found his way to Rotufitnk, was suffering from chronic diarrhmt He was very careless about hipiself, and had to seek shelter in an, unfinished and untenanted house. Where he died alone, with no one who would bring him so much as a cup of water; but in answer to his cries they mocked him: and threw stones at the house. But 1 need relate no more such sad incidents. Already your hearts are moved by the sights we have seen, and it is quite tipie we were getting back to the mission bouse. And now, if you have enjoyed the morning half so much as 1 have, you do not regret the weari- . uess of body you feel on your return; and if we seek assurance as to the result of the morning's work, just listen to that loving voice which is saying, “My word .... shall not return tinto me void.” That is enough. 1 bad Intended to have you visit room

No. 2 of the Itotufunk mission school, but the teacher is taking a vacation on account of an attack of neuralgia caused by a rebellious wisdom tooth. Wisdom is a very fine addition to the accomplishments of a mission school teacher, bnt to have such a quantity in one’s tooth is painfully unnerving, to say the very least. One of the larger children came to tell "busby yab,’ this morning, but remarked as be was leaving, “If you do not too well, them little piccans go humbug too plenty, and you will sick for true.” No. 2 is not in the “grammar school department, - ’ you will observe, but it's a fine room, and there's a fine lot of children in it, if they do humbug now and then. Yes, there are line rooms upstairs, and I suppose Mr. and Mrs. Cain and Mr. Benja Marot would all contradict me if I were to say No. 2 is the finest room. But one can have his own private opinion even in Africa The rains are very heavy, and there is. a good deal of sickness among the people. The missionaries would not be mistaken for Amazons or their descendants, but we are very thankful for the degree of health we have. We are hoping and praying and planning for a Splendid year's work. Now, goodby May the blessing of God rest upon our beloved Zion, both in the home land and in her foreign fields. Your sister, in Ilisname, Ella Schenck. Electric Bitters.
