miles of beautiful cultivated fields

beautiful background to complete the
picture. The best Of it all is, we

Used to give Miss Ruth enough money
to build home for her to live in,
but not having any ground, and not
being ethereal enough to live in the
air, she was never able to use it. Now
we are hoping the ladies will send
this money along and we can begin
this home at once. If we could get
the one building up, we could throw
up attap sheds for the day school,
until we could get the money to build
that. In the meantime we would
have good air to breathe and we
would have a fine bit Of Gods world
TO feast our eyes upon when we are
not, digging.
What do you think of the pros
poets? Won't you pray with us that
the Lord will put it into the heart
of some one to send us $4,000 very
soon, so we can make the plant COM

l am sure we would reach many
more people if we only had a decent
place. The next week after l came,
a little girl came to me and told me
she could not come to school any
more. Mrs. Mansell (the District
Superintendent wife) and l went to
lsee the mother the next day and in
quired why the little daughter was
leaving school She gave us forty
eleven excuses, none of which, We
felt sure. were the real ones. Fl
lnally she said. 'that place where
you have your school is very old. It
might fall down and hurt the chill

we needed it and hoped We would get
