scribes to you in his letter. He asked
me to supplement his letter by relat.

the other day as a sister of mercy

suffering family. I succeeded In
reaching their hut after wading wa.
ter, and found four in family who were
seriously sick, all of whom we're living
on the ground half starved, with moth.
Ing under them but an old piece of
mating, with no one to do anything
for them. rendered them all the as.
sistance I could. Three are better,
one of whom has accepted Christ and
will be baptized Sunday. I believe I
am especially adapted for just such
work. 1t is the work that I was in
structed to do, but necessity compels
me to put much time in the class.
room.
After diagnosing the cases above
mentioned as best I could, found that
the principle medicine they needed
was something to eat. AS all of them
were suffering with an acute attack
of starvation, sent up a prescription
to Rev. Burke for little foodstuff.
The prescription was filled. the u.odi.
cine met the demand, and now the pa.
tients are on the 60. They come from
time to time to thank us for services
rendered. I told them that their souls
are in worse condition than their
bodies. were. and that Jesus Christ,
who had sent me there to heal their
bodies, Is the only physician who could
heal their souls and save them from
eternal death, the dreadful results of
the sin-s!ck diseases.
They are anxious to have Him do
so, and listen attentively while we ex.
plain to them the wonderful plans OF
salvation.

Dear Brother Carroll.
Words cannot be found in the Eng
lish language with which to express
the joy that your kind and welcome
letter brought to our hearts. We are
getting along very we'll under the pre-.
Vailing circumstances. The future
hope Of Liberia depends almost all to-
gether upon the quantity and quality
of missionary work done here. We
have the same problem to face here
that you have done so much toward
solving in America, namely, to brine
about better feeling between some
Of the Liberians and some of the ma
tives, as the relation between the Ii.
berians and the natives, as see it. is
about like that which exists between
tne white man and the Negro in
America.
There are many evils here to retard
the progress Of the country, which
must be overcome. Some of them,
the laws Of the country are against,
and assist the missionary in suppress.
ing. will name few of the grest
evils which are hindering the prog
ress Of the country: First, strong
drinks. The public sale of strong
drink is permitted. and whiskey is
imported in large quantities. Second.
the virtual existence of slavery what
l would call blind tiger slavery, be-
cause the laws CT the country being
against It. 1t is carried on in an un,
derground way. For instance. a child
may be pawned for certain sum of
money in case the owner Of the child,
some Of his people, or some one in
terested in his freedom fails to re-.
deem him. He 1s compelled to work
for the person to whom he Is pawned
as long as he lives, without receiving
anything for his labor save the food
which he eats. The son of q chief was
in our mission. The chief died. The
next week his mother carried him Oft
and pawned him for the sum Of $3.50.
A third great evil is a society known
