ages to do things right and proper. l made pudding to-day. worked about an hour to get things clean and the in- gradients together. I got it into the cooking pot after a while, fire on it and under it and came to the house. In few minutes Kinzanzoi came running to the house and said Pudding chini." I went out and the cooking pot was bot tom side up, every drop of the pudding on the ground. Yesterday they smoked the food so we could scarcely eat it be- side knocking over kettle of tomato catsup,and so it goes. If ever cried for thing in the world it is patience. The climate is bad, one is never free from fieas, lice and jiggers. can scarcely go about and 1t is torment to sit down and feel the bugs crawling up your back. I do not feel it when am busy. At home 1t would be disgrace to have aeas but here, rich and poor, great and small, clean and unclean, are alike troubled, as the land just swarms with them. If you get rid of the last one to-day, tomorrow there would be plenty. All our bed clothes have to go out on the line in the sun every day or we could not sleep at all. Well, this is not sounding as if counted it all joy to fall into temptation. Is it? We'll, it will show here whether we came on faith or sentiment. Do you know the little verse?
 'The inner side of every cloud
 Is bright and shining,
 l, therefore turn my clouds about
 And always wear them inside out
 To show the lining"
 am afraid I do not always wear mine inside out for some of them look rather dark. But it is not all unpleasantness. I had one of the best of times while I was away. Will had to go to the coast on some business for Brother Krieger. One thing to get men to fill the places of those we lost from small pox. As Vol is near Mombasa Mrs Wray told me it would do me good to go there for week. So I went with him. We visited the c. M. s. missionaries while there and had good time. They made picnic one af- ternoon while we and the missionar- ies from Freretown and Mombasa were there. We went by boat to the mainland and then to the seashore. We set table in the shade of big rock under the CO., coanut trees. I spent most of my time hunting shells. I never saw such beau ties. I will bring you some when come home. Their bishop was there. A fine man, indeed. We went to church with them three times Sunday, to the morn- ing communion service, then to the na. tive service. A native minister read the service, native played the organ and the choir were all natives. Then in the afternoon we attended the regular Eng fish church service. The bishop preach ed 8 good sermon. On Sunday evening we went to the house of another one of the missionaries. On Monday evening we spent the evening with another cou- pie. On the whole it was very pleasant, I enjoyed every minute of it. was at Mrs Wray's two weeks. They have nice work. If anyone does not believe in Foreign Missions I wish they might live here for awhile and then go to the Women would come 20 or 30 at time for miles and ask Mrs Wray to tell them of Jesus. She would go out on the veranda, while they gathered about her and listened to the story of love. We had to sleep three nights in the train on our way back.
