From this beautiful spot we has

City. Here over 100 Cuban boys and
girls are taught by the consecrated
Christian workers and teachers
Miss Anna Merriman, Miss Dowena
Williams, and Miss Sophia Sutton.
We visited the class rooms and
heard the boys and girls sing in their
native tongue our familiar Sunday
school songs. The Bible verse drill,
where over twenty verses were given,
showed fine training.
Here they are being educated
trained up into American citizens, and
the seeds sown in their hearts OF
Gospel truths.
The chapel adjoining was complete
and comfortable in arrangement. !
