The Saviour guide you in all your labors."
Those who aided Miss Lyon to carry out her large-hearted plans in
New England, little dreamed that offshoots from the vine they
planted would so soon be carried to the ends of the earth. Who does
not admire that grace which, in this missionary age, raised up such
a type of piety to be diffused over the globe? Doubtless it will
undergo changes in Persia, as it has done already; but the devout
student of Providence will watch its growth with interest, and its
developments will not disappoint his hopes.

[Illustration: Tents.]
Towards the close of July, 1851, Mr. Stocking and family, with
Misses Fiske and Rice, and several native helpers, spent the
vacation in Gawar. Mr. Coan accompanied them on his way to regions
beyond. Wandering from place to place, like the patriarchs of old,
they pitched their tents at first near the village of Memikan.
