with his party has just reached. their
destination, Santa Rosa, Honduras.

tasted butter for 80 days. Ed says
he is glad to be there instead Of in
the United States where the people
don't care to hear the Gospel Union
kind Of preaching. Ed can't talk
Spanish but is trying. The party is
well.
Walter Rockafellar who is in
Morocco is getting along all right.
He went to the natives feast where
the native women wore gold and
jewels until they fairly shore. The
next day they came around and
wanted to borrow pair Of socks.
Conversions are few and far between
but Walter is having lots Of fun.
