We were very
sad in not hearing a single word from home. Now I offer
thanksgivings to Him in whose hands are all things, that he has
opened a door of mercy, and has delighted us by the arrival of
letters. They came to-day. Many thanks to you and your dear pupils.
The Lord bless them, and prepare their hearts for such a blessed
work as ours.
"Give Eneya's salutations and mine to all the school. I think they
will wish to hear about the work of the Lord here. Thanks to God,
our health has been good ever since we came, and our hearts have
been contented and happy in seeing some of our neighbors believing,
and with joy receiving the words of life. Every Sabbath we have a
congregation of thirty-five, and more men than women. For many weeks
only the men came; but now, by the grace of God, the women come too,
and their number is increasing. I have commenced to teach them the
life of the Lord Jesus from the beginning. I have strong hopes that
God is awakening one of them. His word is very dear to her. Her son
is the priest of the village, and a sincere Christian. Four other
young men and five women are, we trust, not far from the door of the
kingdom.
