saba Stanley, who has recently re-

spoke in an interesting manner OF the
work there Let us see God, and see
in Him our defense, our help in every
time of need. We are still suffering
from the effects of the tornado Of a
year ago. We do not have our
churches rebuilt Many of the ser
vices have to be held in the open air
and are often disturbed by rains. We
should get our churches. rebuilt or the
work may fall into disrepute. There
is so much superstition to be met
there that it means much for a per-
son to accept the gospel of Jesus
Christ. Let us not be disobedient to
the heavenly vision we may have had"
Mary White spoke very touchingly
of the work also. She spoke of tho in
fiuences they had to overcome, OF the
sacrifice the natives made to accept
Christ, and how thorough they made
their consecation. Tears were brought
to many eyes as she proceeded to tell
of the situation there and what was
needed to properly carry on the work
that was opening up for Friends
