Let nobody think she'll be happy this

They knew that she wanted it dread

She simply must have it-but what did

She hated them both, they were horrid,

With her cheeks stained with tears and
her hair out of curl.
Now, isn't Miss Muffet an unIucky girl?

As a Christian man since that time

who have 'labored with me in the

in Israel, many of whom were Chris

Christian Indians see and understand
most social and philanthropic move

as their white friends do. They are
making fine progress in every line of
