The Sunday School

we have long needed an addition to
our church, for the use of our Sunday
school, and for the smaller meetings of
our church. This year we have under
taken to build this addition, and we
hope that it will be ready to be occu-
pied In about two weeks 1t consists
of Sunday school rooms and pastors
study, and 1t Will be credit to the
church. Subscriptions have been taken
to pay for this addition. part payable
every six months. Not enough has
been subscribed for this purpose as we
expect that the entire cost will be
about 81, 500. OF this amount 81, 205. 81
has been collected. In the matter of
paying. in proportion to their means,
our Sunday school is very liberal, 1t
has paid during this conference year
1897. 81. The Suday- school record
shows total enrolment of 800 during
the year. Many of our members,
fear. do not properly appreciate our
Sunday school, and the opportunity it
affords US for christian work and in
structiOn.

The Sakais, or tree dwellers, Of the

forked trees a dozen feet above
ground, and reach them by means Of
bamboo ladders, which they draw up
when safely housed out of harms

of shack, made of bamboo, and the
flooring is dashed together piece by
piece and bound securely to the tres
limbs by rattan. These curious people
are rather small and lighter in COM
