full Pit of Perdition. Nothing is said
about the women in this case. Per-
haps their long straight hair will
serve the purpose for them, but more
likely is the prevailing thought that
the women will go there anyway and
no provision could keep them from
their just doom. Fourth, they are to
remove all charms from the necks and
arms of the children. These charms
are almost anything that can be Sc
cured to fasten about the body of the
child. A little stone, piece OF metal,
anything that will impress the evil
one that he had better move on. They
are placed on the children to prevent

cure.
The villages are very much alike,
all being built OF mud in a very crude
fashion placed side by side or end to
end so that the wall Of one home is
also the wall of another. A mud wall
usually surrounds the village and in
this enclosure are to be found many
castles all living in separate mahullas,
according to their standing. The Mass
Movement in Delhi District is with the
Sweeper caste although it is spread
ing to the other higher castles, but
our mission was to the mahullas Of
the Sweepers.
On our arrival they brought forth
the seat of honor which was rough
ly made single bed or cot. This was
placed in the largest open space and
the information was sent out to all
the people residing in that part OF the
city that the white folks had come
and a service was to be. 1t never took
very long to get the crowd together
and the program was started with
song. The women would be seated
over by Mrs. Wilson with their faces
covered according to oriental custom.
The men would gather around Mr..
Wilson. TO the Westerners, a strange
sight. All seated on the ground. Men
with loAg, loose garments that almost
completely enveloped them even some
times to the covering OF the head
Others by their side stripped to the
waist as though ready for the heavy
task. Many children all about with
clothes scant indeed. The only cloth
ing some of them wore was string OF
beads around the neck and a glass
bracelet on the arm A message al
ways followed the song in which they
were told of the dignity and practical
value of the Christian religion.

had fallen victim to la grippe.

Young Williams had never thought
of needing help, but as he faced the
