Dear Ladies and Friends,
! OF Morgdnto,cnr ". va
Greetings, / wish | could NEE
you and speak to you face to face fol
a few moments. / would first thanh
you all heartily for the way yor
have stood by me and helped me in
my work in the past. ! would then
tell you how wonderfully the Lord il
opening up the work before us, and
prospering what we have undertaken
| for him
We came here two years ago, anb
began our work in this great city
The first need we felt was the right
kind of native workers to go to tffeil
own people. We soon found that We
must train our own.
We began-opening the Training
School in the lower part of our OWL
house, the high rent of which W,
could not have paid, had it not beer
for the interest money from the
building fund, in which some of you
friends have share.
We did not know how we would
SUPPORT the girls that came, but VIZ
took them, believing the Lord hac
sent them, and that he would pro
vide for them. This He has done
putting it into the hearts of friends
at home to take these girls, and sup
port them. Until now we have thir
ty eight nice bright girls, some O
whom have been already brightly
converted, and are helping carry the
Gospel to their own people.
Besides this work, we have been in
the Zenanas as often as possible
There we are always welcome, and
meet with those anxious to hear O
Jesus. One Brahman family became
interested by my taking medicine tt
the wife. | read the Bible and pray
ed with them, until finally the CRANE
mother asked me to leave my Bible
with them, that they might read il
more frequently. They-she and
her married daughters read 1t togeth
er every day at 2 o'clock, and offer
say to me "How can we understand
this book, unless you come ottenel
to explain it to u.s." Just lately
have been with them through a Sc
we're sickness and sorrow, until
feel the two women are really reach
ing out after God
And the old proud father told M
with tears in his eyes, few day.
ago: 1T must be your religion tina
makes YOU so kind to us, we neve
see any thing of the sort among our
selves | will come and read the Bi
bic with your husband. | wish tt
know more about it.
Pray for this family, that we ma,
see them submit themselves to Jesus
Mr.. Lees work among the students
most of whom are Hindoos, fills NJ
all his time. Every day there ar
those who come to him to read the Bi
| BILE, and ask about our religion.
| If / could see you l would pleat
more earnestly than ever for thes
people. / wish the day to come
when you will not only have bull
and furnished q room in our mission
building, and aided as many of you
have in many other ways, but whel
Morgantown will support her owl
missionary here in India, in addition
to the amounts you are now givint
for missions in your several church
es. Then God will prosper you a
never before in your business, and S
bless you in your own souls that yo
will not have room to contain it.
He wants the tithes to be paid il
then He will bless your own city an
make you blessing to others.
