This day we went into many villages, and over many
ascents and descents. At evening we reached Jeloo, and remained over
night in the pleasant village of Zeer, which lies in a valley made
beautiful by forests, and a river passing through it. They showed
great hospitality here, and were eager to receive the word of the
Lord. May 14th, we left Zeer, and went to Bass. It was Saturday
night, and we remained over the Sabbath in the village of Nerik. I
shall always have a pleasant remembrance of the Sabbath we passed
there. Prom the first moment that we went in till Monday morning, we
were never alone, so many were assembling to hear the words of the
Lord. With tearful eyes and burning hearts, they were inquiring for
the way of salvation. They would say, 'What shall we do? We have no
one to sit among us, to teach us, poor, wretched ones.' Truly, a
man's heart burns within him as he sees this poor people scattered
as sheep without a shepherd. May 16th, we mounted our mules, and
went on our way. Half an hour from Nerik we came to the village of
Urwintoos. An honorable, kind-hearted woman came out, and made us
her guests.
