year was prepared by Mr.. Channon,
and is hopeful
"The work of the past year has been
a varied one. There have been several
trials of our faith and crosses to bear,
but there has been much to encourage.
The number enrolled in the Training
School has been forty-three, the Iarg
est in its history. Miss Foss has rend-
cred valuable assistance, progressing
with the Gilbert rapidly, and teaching
five classes the past term. This year
we tried the Oberlin plan of daily
marks in recitation. and added a roll
of honor and few prizes at the close
of each term. The plan worked ad-
mirably and stimulated the scholars
to more thorough work. The Gilbert
native is in no danger of overwork
naturally, but needs every inducement
possible. We rejoiced greatly to send
out to the work this year our largest
number, namely, six teachers with
their wives; four had completed the
entire course and two the teachers

MOKIL AND PINGELAP.

Miss Foss, who labored on Mokil
while Mr.. and Mrs. Rand were there
and then came to Kusaie, visited those
islands on the Star, for the purpose Of
encouraging the native teachers and
churches. She was surprised and re-
joiced at what she saw, giving great
credit to the teachers. who have done
their best, and she speaks of the work
as prospecting in every respect. Ngatik
also was visited, where the outlook was
more propitious than it was year ago.

Sole Deposit Boxes

WE HAVE A FEW MORE BOXES
in our Safe Deposit Vault which are
not yet rented. There are four sizes,
varying in price from $12 to $50 per
year. Any private papers left in
these boxes are perfectly safe, as the
vaults are f1re-proof and are fitted with
time locks, which makes them abso-
lutely burglar-proof. There are two
keys to each box, both of which are
given to the party renting box, and
should these keys be stolen they
would be useless to bearer, as he could
not open the box without our master
key being first inserted.
Parties leaving the Islands for their
summer vacations will find it con-
venient place to leave any valuables.
Boxes can be rented by the month or

A GIRL RESCUED.

we reached III I'VE days from UId6, on
account of the winds being light and
ahead. The work seemed to be prosper
Gus. There was a vigorous attempt
made here to keep two of the girls.
The arguments Of JEREMIAH, Mrs Rife
and myself finally availed to secure the
release of one of the girls, but the
mother of the other, in combination
with heather relative of her father,
who was dead, succeeded in keeping
her. The mother said that she should
stay only one year to comfort her heart,
and then she might return to school.
The girl was unwilling to stay, had
been in school three years, and was the
fourth to be kept this year. When we
were ready to go to the boat the girl
sat on the beach crying, while the man
stood over her, watching lest she
should attempt to run from him and
get into the boat We left the island
with very heavy hearts, for the girl
was a general favorite, and I spent
rather a sleepless night trying to devise
some plan of getting her! To make the
matter still worse, we found after we
had left the island, that the boys had
learned that the real reason for keep
ing her was to compel her to marry a

chances were about as good as if she
had been set adrift in mid-ocean in a
frail canoe. My mind took this course:
The chiefs are the rulers and have au-
thOrity over the people. Why. then
can | not see her chief who happened
to be at JaIij and get permission to
get her on our return to Kusaie? I con-
suited with Jeremaia and Miss Palmer

the man who had kept her and on our
return presented it to him. He read it.
looked very angry, and said: You went
to see the chief, did you?' l said: Yes:
what does he say in the letter. He re-
piled: He said I should let you have
the girl He then began to try to quar-
rel with me- but we left him and pro-
ceeded to the home of the girl, who was
oyerjoyed that the Morning Star had
come back for her. She hastily gathered
her things together and we were off for
the boat, which we reached in one hour
and twenty minutes, having walked
about four miles.

lost his wife and child and had gone TO
Jeremaia's station at Jaluit. He came
back with us on the Star and will prob
ably be married again. He viii teach
on one island and Lakien on the other
for a period of about two months, and
then they Will exchange. This is be-
cause Bill says he does not know any
thing. One difficulty with our teachers
seems TO be to get them to think they
know as much as they really do.
SPIRITUAL PROSPERITY.
our next island was Mejij At this
place last year the work was very pros
porous, and it does not seem to have
lost anything. The work is but two
years old, and out of d population of
about 400 there are 10 in the school.
Ailinlaplap was our next island, and
Matu and LanitO the teachers. Lanito's
wife was not very well, and on this ac-
count he wished TO go to his home in
Namerik We arrived here on Thurs
day, and the next day was so stormy
we thought it best to remain until Mon
day, hoping that the people would have
an opportunity to gather at the mission
on Saturday and attend services on
Sunday. On Saturday there was no
wind, and so only a few came from a
distance.
Our next island was Manu- We took
Nierik and his wife on board to come
to Kusaie for a years rest and study
very much to their satisfaction, leaving
Lokirin to take charge during their alb
sence. At Kwajelin we found Lokorok
doing a good work, but much hindered
e =
some of the poorer islands the teachers
are allowed to take cord or mats and
fans in payment for books We were
told at this and other islands that if
the people had anything of this kind
ready, the chiefs would take it from
them, and they were compelled to go
without books. The teacher here is not
ordained, and JEREMIAH received eleven
into the church. This lagoon is the
largest in the Marshall group, if not
in the whole of Micronesia, being over
sixty miles long. 1t seems very neces-
sary on this account to have mission
at the other end of the lagoon, thing
which | hope TO accomplish in year
or two. At the next island, Lac, Laik-
ton was satisfied with preaching on
Sunday and teaching arithmetic only in
know enough about the Bible. Before
we left him he promised to try to teach
the Bible also during the coming year.
AT Ujae we found the third and last
student we had left last year. Laki is
firm and hopeful, and said that in adj
ditiOn to the Sunday services and the
school, he taught the people who could
not come to school, in his own house in
the evening, if they wished to study the
Bible. We were glad to know that all
three of our new boys and their wives
had stood firm during the first year
as that is considered the hardest. There
is an island near Ujae, Wolfe, I think,
where there is no teacher, but Nierik
received eight church members while
there on a visit during the year. The
people at this and one or two other
islands are very anxious to have teach
ers, and [ shall try, if possible, to visit
them next year. Please remember this
when the question of time for our trip
is considered.

Siberia's Railway.

There is soon to be q new COUNTRY
to visit and a new way of going round
the world. 1t seems only the other day
that Jules Verne's man went around in
so days, and thought it considerable
feat. The record for circumnavigation
is now &C days, or thereabouts. Baron
Hilkoff, the combination of American
mechanic and Russian prince who was
in this country recently, said that when
the railroad across Siberia is finished,
which, he thinks, will be in four or five
years, the time of getting around will
be cut in two, and from 80 to 80 days
will suffice for it. He allows ten days
to cross Siberia from st. Petersburg,
ten days from Vladivostok to San Fran
cisco, and 10 days from there to st.
Petersburg again. Early in the next
century, then, the tired American may
turn his face eastward when he starts
on his months vacation, and keep it
turned that way until he gets home.

Senator Hills Favorite Story.

Senator Hill has told this story q
thousand times or more during the past
summer and fall. He has constantly
declined to be interviewed upon any
subject. Nearly every newspaper man
has said: Senator, will you kindly
answer just one question:"
In reply Senator Hill has said that the
inquiry reminds him of a story. A real,
live, genuine Yankee came into New
York state many years ago peddling
tinware. He met man with one leg
and the stump of another. The ped
dler's curiosity was aroused at once.
He determined to know how that man
lost his leg, and after scraping an ac-
quaintance said,pointinga at the remnant
of a limb:
"Been in the WARP"
The one-legged man was sensitive and
reticent. His reply was simply:

The Yankee then began to talk trade,
but the lost leg was uppermost in his
mind. Presently he said:
'Mebbe you lost it in sawmill?"
mol was again the answer.

the time keeping his eye On the re.
