curate conception of the dangers and
hardships incident to the life of those
who labor on the mission fields. be-

Mission workers there are often COM
PEELED to bury their own dead, and
make with their hands the caskets in
which their loved ones are laid to
rest Lonesomeness that seizes upon
them is often indescribable.'
The Rev Mr.. DeWeerd will con-
tinue his services at the Wesleyan
Methodist church until about March

ing visited four continents in the last
twenty years.
