ISSIONARIES.

MARCH 6, 1558,

news reached 3eruiiilem at a late hour that evening. Mr
Saunders- left Jaffa at 1 p.m , and arrived at the city gate
O. tin Ifiahr aleThlS' aperture tiff American-consul-
forwarded a.despatch by an Arab to the American and
Prussian consuls. The letter never al rived. Six days
after it was returned, the messenger stating ho had fallen
sick on the road, and finally concluded to return. He was
immediately sent to prison. One hour after we arrived at
Mr. Dixon'e, the day after the outrage, the funeral ser-
vice was held by a few friends, and we buried our dead
in the cemetery, where our beloved blether now lies
with the remains of sister Minor,: and where they rest to
await the summons of the Pas urrection Liwri4ing. The
day following Mr. Saunders and our Consul arrived
from Jerusalem. The 15th and 17th the governor was
visited'and urged to employ all his force to ferret out
the murderers. Up to the present the Consul has been
doing his utmost to get the Government to act in the
ease. The Pasha here has been invited, not only by our
Consul, but by the Pru-eian Consul and others, and
entreated to take hold of the affair with a strong hand.
It is to be hoped that ho is doing all in his power. The
Government seems to bs aware of its weakness, and in
such a crisis as this it may be well for us to know the
fact, that we may the more implicitly and truly rely
upon the promises of Him who has promised to be with
His disciples even unto the_ end. The families have left
their garden and removed into Jaffa. It is with no little
anxiety we wait for future development. In closing this
lengthy epistle allow me to commend the afflicted, and
especially the widow and orphan babes, to your sym-
pathy and earnest prayers of the lovers of the Mission.
