A lovely merning this Lord's day. All well. Our Ged is
grecieus unte us. At the 10 e'cleck service this a.m.
there was a large congregation the sermon, in cong, was
preached by Mr. Graham. After the service we held a
cemmunien service, and 10 conge beys parteck ef the Lerd’
supper with the missionaries. There is no regular ergan-
ized church at this place, and these boys whe supped with
us at the Lerds table are members in ether places. All
the missionaries werk together beth in the Cenge & Eng-
lish services and we have good congregations and geed
attention. At the pem. service I was the preacher and
talked to an attentive let of ceast men whe speak English
The evening service was te have been at Mr. Weedings, but

the morning feeling bright and happy.

the B.M.S. station ene was one of the workmen, and the
other was a man whe came late yesterday evening fer medi-
