4 MISSIONARIES EXPERIENCE.

Miss Danforth, missionary to Jap
an, gave at Grace Methodist church
to large audience last Sunday even
ing, thrilling..d description of her ex-
periences and those of COW orker in
city Of 100000 inhabitants which
up to that time no Christian mission
airy had ever entered. After some
difficulty in finding a location they
finally established themselves IN an
old building, and the first dav of the
school about thirty children present
ed themselves for admission. Work
progressed gradually and the children
were receiving the Gospel which was
carried to their homes. When the
Buddhist priests began to realize the
prospect of the surmounting of the
Christian faith over theirs, they be-
came alarmed and caused notices to
be posted requesting the missionaries
to leave the city and even instructing
their followers TO murder them and
burn the school buildings.
Miss Danforth gave a vivid and ell
oquent description of the terrible or
deal through which she passed during
the great earthquake which lasted
five days and nights. The rumbling,
rocking and opening of the earth, the
falling OF the houses, and the shrieks
and groans of the dying all about her
were startling features of the terrible
scenes endured during those long
hours.
AT the conclusion of her narrative,
collection amounting to $40 was
received, for which Miss Danforth
cordially thanked the people of St.
Johnsbury in the Japanese language.
