' All those whom we regarded as Christians have shown
themselves most faithful to their Master during this season. Others,
of whom we were less confident, have seemed to pass through a
previously untried experience, and, we tremblingly hope, have laid
hold of eternal life. The same is true of several never before
convicted. Among these last is a little girl who was suddenly
awakened, with as clear convictions, apparently, as I ever saw in
any; and her final trust in Christ as implicit. For several days she
would say, with tears and sobs, 'I have never yet loved the Saviour;
but O, I do want to love him now.' Her mother is one of the few
converted in Geog Tapa before the first revival. She has suffered
almost every thing for Christ. Often, on returning late from
meeting, she has found herself shut out for an hour in a piercing
winter wind, before her husband would open the door. At other times
she has been beaten, but never denied Him who bought her. The pious
natives often say that in the conversion of her daughter, she now
receives the reward of her years of prayer and faithful endurance.
The last days of the term bound the dear pupils very closely to each
other, and we trust to Christ.
