the separation Of husbands and wives; the
other by the father becoming q thief
Eight or Zine Of the parents became drunk

drunkards and gamblers and dissolute.
Four or five have been in State prison.
Only one became Christian, and he slIer

pated. The other five families
that regarded the Sabbath were all
prospered. Eight or ten Of the
children are consistent members of the

one is missionary to China. No poverty
