DEAR Bro. WEBSTER When we receive
any great blessings which make our hearts
glad, it is very natural that we should desire
to tell our friends Of it, Hence it is that we
take our pen to tell our old associates and
co.laborers how good the Lord has been to
us, and how he has made our hearts rejoice
in Biinour We have before told you OF our
large field of labor, and the few laborers III
the fed, and that therefore much work was
neglected When we have seen these neg
lectcd pershing thousands, and feel how lit
tie we alone could do towards instructlng so
many, we have prayed earnestly that the
" Lord of the harvest would send forth more
laborers.' And when We have met with op-
posing influences, or been placed under trying
circumstances-or when for weeks, yea
months. VIC have met no one to counsel or
sympathize with US, we have IN our lonell-
ness longed for the time to come when we
might have brother and sister OF our own
country and work to counsel and sympathlze
with us. Under these circumstances, thank
fitness filled our hearts when we heard that
three men we're appointed for India ; and
when our Superintendent informed us that
one Of these three men was to come to By.
nour our thankfulness increased to the praise
of our Father, so kind, so good. How ear
nestly we prayed for their safety on the long
yovacc across the ocean, and how aDxlously
we watched their slow progress as they came
" up country" and we almost trembed tor
them lest the awful heat might bring on dis
case before they could reach US. But God
heard our prayers and the prayers OF Ills
Church, and preserved their precious lives
and brought them safely to u.s. You can I'M
ao;ne that our hearts were full, when, on Sun
1av morning, April 14th, we were permitted
"a welcome brother and sister Hauser to the
Mission House in Bjnour, We had walke(
over to the little Chapel to see that all wal
r;oht for the services Of the day, and as W.
turned to 90 back we saw two " doolles born
unop mems shoulders, slowly approaching us
Tears came to our eyes, and VIC trempled II
averv nerve. for we knew that those doolles
contained the long looked for, and long praye'
for g new missionaries" We needed no on
, 70 introduce us to each other, or TO assist u
! in becoming acquainted. 1t seemed llk
meeting old friends, for they had come iror
) our dear native land-across the same pain
lose ocean that we had come, and had com
far the same object for which we came. W
= found them both we'll, though very tired tror
their Journey; and they seemed nearly a

7 fo receive them. They had a long, roug
VOYAGE to Calcutta, and on this account ha
hot, trying time coming up country Br
Cod was with them to preserve them amid:
St storms and dangers upon the great deep, an
AGAINST the great heat of India,
It is worthy of note that upon that drea(
fpl day of which the home papers speak
fearful storms and loss of life, our brethre
we're tossed in terrible hurricane with lit
hone Of being saved. For Fix u"yys the

worst day we have seen in India. We wei

such clouds of dust we're rolled up by tn
wind. that it was with great difficulty "
