no coaltng places this side of tho equator; but we still 50 in blackness. Personally, enjoy tho decks dark, but the dining saloon and cabins be- come breathless. After lights are out for the night. we can open up. : Ship-board nfea Is a lazy life, es- pecially for ono like myself who cares little for sports. One wonders if energy and ambition will ever rule again. But when II remember the busy weeks preceding the trip. and look forward to the crowded days that lie before me, I accept this re- taxation as Gods gift and thank him for 1t. ., .,ss.--.-, ssss-.
 My steamer letters and gifts have held out till today. I have read and re-read them, and let Miss Bell share those of more general interest. Now I shall begin all over again. I shall not attempt to answer them person. ally, but ask each one to accept this as reply and to receive me hearty thanks. You seem near, and life Is rich in the thought of many friends who love and pray for me. I wish you were all as happy as in the assurance of Gods guidance and blessing, in the love of dear ones, and in the anticipation of a large and useful work.
 ! Yours sincerely,
 LAURA c. SMITH.
