CRAWFORD GRAND.


"From Dondo we take it foot fifty-one
miles over hills, mountains, and wales by
| the old caravan trail of the ages to Nhan-
guepepO mission station. Our property
| there is worth about 81, 600. 1t was de-
signed to be a receiving station in which
new Corners might be acclimatiZed, taught
native languages and prepared for advance
work. 1t has. however, become specially
a training school for native agency under
the leadership of one young man of our
first party from America, Karl Rudolph.
We already have an organized Methodist
Episcopal church at this station composed
OF thirteen converted men and boys who
are giving good proof of the genuineness of
the change wrought in them by the Holy
Spirit.
The forenoon is devoted to manual
labor by all hands then school and reiig-
iOus exercises in the afternoon. The work
of each day is distributed: two of our boys
called pastors have the care of about 100
head of cattle belonging to the mission.
Several boys are taught to yoke and work
oxen in sled or pillow; several boys have
learned to be stone masOns, and when |
was there last were engaged in building
boy j. trained to business in the little
store belonging to the mission. One very
trusty fellow i the man-of-all-work about
the house and the cook. All these varieties
Of work are done by our own converted
people, and not by heather hirelings.
This station yields ample sustenance for
all these workers, and is making improve
ments continually and paying for them
out of their net profits. Bishop Taylor
