grieved that he should think she could forget. Yonan gave her a
kerchief for the head, saying, "Take this, and remember me by it."
"Shall I remember you by this?" was the reply. "I will remember you
in my prayers." "Do you pray, Heleneh?"--She was the last one
converted, and left Oroomiah soon after her conversion; so he wanted
to know whether she still held on her Christian way.--"Always," was
the answer. They sought a place to pray together; and though they
might not go away alone, yet there, in sight, but not in hearing of
the crowd, they approached the mercy seat, the spectators little
dreaming of the nature of their intercourse. It was delightful to
find that she had not forgotten the language or the spirit of
devotion.
The accompanying sketch of a Tiary girl will show how the kerchief
is worn. It also exhibits the mode of using the Oriental spindle,
which is probably a facsimile of the article mentioned by Solomon.
(Prov. xxxi. 19.)

The other two were not at the feast; so, next day, they left to seek
them at their homes.
