"We have had pleasant seasons of prayer in our school this winter,
and we trust that some souls have been born again. I have the care
of a circle of girls in the kitchen. They work well, and keep it
clean. I think you know that such work is difficult, but if you were
to come in you would find every thing in order. Every Wednesday we
scour all the shelves and the doors.
"The girls have made the yard very pleasant; but one thing is
wanting there: we miss you at the cool of the day, walking in it to
see if any evil has grown up in your garden.
"I went to my village in vacation; the prayer meetings there were
very pleasant, and I enjoyed much, praying with the women alone. Our
seasons of family devotion also were delightful. In the morning we
read the Acts in course; and as each read a verse, my father asked
its meaning. When he went away to preach, I used to lead, and we
then read the portion for the day, in the book called 'Green
Pastures for the Lord's Flock.'
"In the school we have studied Ezra, in connection with Haggai and
Zechariah, and are now in Nehemiah. In the New Testament we are on
Paul's third journey, and have nearly finished Scripture geography
and theology.
