Then I prayed for them alone. Soon my little sister Raheel
came in, who is under Papal influence. I talked with her about
prayer to the saints, and opened to the ten commandments, and began
to read; but she did not want to hear. My heart yearned over my poor
sister, and I prayed with her.

"Moses preached in the afternoon about Achan, and after that I had
my usual meeting with the pious women. Guly returned with me for
conversation. I think she is a blessed Christian. She labors and
prays with two of her companions. She told how her cousin ridiculed
her, and I encouraged her to go forward, but said, 'If all the world
think you a Christian, don't rest till you can say, 'I know in whom
I have believed."' We prayed together, and O, what a prayer she
offered! Deacon Siyad led the evening meeting.
"_January 24th_. After morning service, I took Baba Khan and
Guwergis to my room. The first I had labored with last year, and
thought him interested. His wife fears God, and has often asked me
to talk with him. He is seldom absent from church or prayer meeting,
and often goes out with our young men when they preach.
