In the center of the group, the
Doctor bending over the sufferer,
whose patient, care worn face
was upturned toward her in

light of the lantern showed the
eager, interested faces of the
dark turbaned figures crowding
around, and now and again ex-

faction could be heard. AS soon
as the wound had been attended
to we were given an opportunity
to tell of the Great Physician
the one who can heal the disease
of sin with which the whole world
is affilcted-Hls love and care for
every one, and how they might
all pray to Him who hears and an.
