LETTER FROM OUR
AFRICAN MISSIONARY
ISABELLE CAMPBELL
CONTINUED from Page ~

Most of the Church reading
is done in the tribal language
though instead of the Kiswa-
hill Grade language). Some of
the singing is in Kiswahili, but
most of it is in the tribal Ian
guage. I am getting so I can
understand tn e language
study a little better. I have
really had to dig in and men,
orize and listen closely to the
boys and Faith as they speak.
One can learn much by listen
ing as the others speak and
then ask questions. You know
how am at asking questions.
Wednesday, we got tele-
gram from Bob asking Eleanor
and I to send him authority to
clear our goods at Mombosa.
We hadn't received any word
that our things were there.
They just said in Bob's notice
that there were Is pieces
there. Consequently we don't
know too much about our
things as yet, except that he
had to have our signatures in
a telegram. 1t meant that we
had to drive to Kahomega (35
miles, on Thursday to send a
telegram so he will get it i'm
mediately. We took Musa to
help with the car, although
he doesn't know much about
this "critter" of ours, or any
one else's for that matter. Just
as we were passing a saw-mill
we stalled, and then the start
er went on the blink, and we
just couldn't get a start out
of it. Musa went up to the mill
and came back with an Eng
lishman who was very kind
and helped us take the thing
apart, only to learn that a bolt
had broken off and had to be
replaced. He put it back to-
gether and pushed us down a
hill to get started, and then
we held our breath all the rest
of the way. We finally got
there okay and went right to
the garage and got it fixed.
1t took a few minutes and in
the meantime we took a walk
through the business section
to see what we could find. The
traders are all Indians and
their merchandise is very
scarce. Most of them have
sewing machine in the front
where a native is sewing
clothes for the dealer. They
are just straight up-and-down
dresses, shirts or shorts. U.s.
ually they are made of un-
bleached muslin or khaki.
Small items like ten cent store
goods are all very expensive.
We saw some little toy air
planes. They were IS cents in
American money. All import
ed goods are very expensive of
course. We paid so cents for
a bag of 10 cent candy and 35
or 40 cents a pound of tea.
How much is tea at home?
It's raining like everything
and yet the sun is shining =
funny, Ell?
Well, we make up for the
expensive items by paying 5

produces symptoms in the human
body which correspond to those
caused by the weather.
The amount of aran in the air is
decreased by fog or smoke, and a
greater amount of the gas is found
in the air when north winds are
prevalent, DR.. Curry said.
