s s'nd began to blow SO hard that every
WIZ had to be closed, and one could
aOU A., see the road for dust. Then a
D1I,; a., shower, and hail stones as big as
's eggs fell, and now it is cool and
UDS 4ortabe and windy. The hail stones
'V'' ,,sry large here, sometimes weigh
81. -yo lbs, so truthful people say, but
psoren' t seen any yet SO large. One old
~. told me once that when his father
"s little boy, one fell that was half as
% 90 ne and he stretched his arms at
..S -ngth and said, "as broad as that, "
~, ~. when 1t melted there was almost a

Miss Ross, you remember, came to see

,.,rub-re she went, and kissed sick
raf anowing what disease it had.
,..-r.a fha; it wasn't fair to the babies
III. much kissed, and never by
-,-s-rers. guess twas good lesson.
r,sssr kiss people anyway in this coun-

ros. friend, | always remember the
p;bls -rse He loved them and gave

Last Sunday was Easter, and l never
.riay-d one more. In the morning we
ba5S. 5. with the children, one of the
rcacasrs told the story of Jesus suffer
inc for Us, and how when we grieve him
We crown him with thorns. She showed
. crown of thorns and one of white
flowers. and asked which they wished
n crown MIN with, and told them how
,ogive hlm the crown of flowers.
Mrs. Hawes sent some pins in the box
and / gave them Easter Sunday to the
girls who could say three months golden
texts. These children are so fond of
srelry. They were very much pleased
with the pins.
The little girl whom Mrs. Wingate sup
portsd for while, and now is supported
wBangor friends has missed but one Sun
IA, in Is months. Isn't that a good
record Several people in Bangor are
Writing to her, and she told me once she
was So happy she couldn't sleep the
night she got the first letter. Last Sun
aag when some Easter post cards came
for rer she said, Il want to pray for
those people now," and she did. She is
lovely girl.
After Sunday school Miss Coe came

a5-zei, one was the man who does my
o..ls was so glad to have him
ready n he baptized. His parents were
Christians, but he has been far from it
most Of as life.
This morning at prayers | showed the
picture Of Jesus after His resurrection
ga-n lie directed his disciples how and
wt-ry -o get plenty of fish, told in John
lfe picture was a pretty one, and
after prayers one man, a Hindu, stood
aus While looking at the people in it;

Yesterday / got letter from Mrs.
Tracy saying that some of the students
i -He school in New Hampton, where
Is ere Working, are sending me Sl2. &C

7'- md six years old cannot walk.
E W,' give 40 children rice for
nan,a There are 40 in school there, and
the a-oqe who have the work in charge
4, gong to have the children fed at the
staoo house once day, then they wont
Statve q death. The people are abomi-
'aiF azy by nature, but now they are
Ao weak to work, because for months
'hey rave had very little TO eat. One
-ag ore II them came to me and wanted
something to. eat. | fed him, then he
RaAte. enough to last him all day, and
!E5-e It to him, then he wanted me to
pay ms car fare home, only short dis
'drc5 told him to walk, and if he
ever got there, he did. However, the
Children aren't to blame, and it is awful
4of Them to suffer as they do. One of
we girls was sent in I'd the orphanage
mere some years ago. She finished here,
'ooS teachers training, and is one of the
9Tsl teachers in the mission today. 1t
Was very nice of her to want to go to

"hen she could have had much seeming
y better places, but she is there doing
'sal home missionary work.
