We have a scheol here which holds four days in the
week. Mrs. Graham, Mrs. Wooding and I are the teachers.
We give instructions in scriptures, reading, writing,
arithmetic, and other things in general. We have from
30 to 50 pupils, and they are quick and orderly and
exceedingly studious. A let of better behaved children
in schoel, I never saw. Some of these children have made
remarkable progress intheir studies and are pleased beyonce
measure to be allowed to come to school.

We went out among the masters of some of these little
beys one day to try and induce more new ones to come te
school, and when we asked the fellows to come to
schoel, their eyes fairly glistened with delight.

This school is held in our new church. I must tell
yeu about this nice church fer we are all se proud of it.
But how many of you would call a grass heuse nice? In
this grass house, however, many earnest prayers go up to

the threne of grace for the conversion of the people of
this dark land.

I went down & had a leok at my friends te see if all were
well, and found them se. After dinner, a Pertugees car-
penter whom I have been giving some medicine came up and
looked at my table and promised to make a let for it. I
teok one leg out and teek it down to him fer a pattern,
alas teok some medicine for him as he was complaining.
We had Mr. & Mrs. Graham, Mr. Cameron & Mr. Pinneck with
us this afternoon for tea. Tonight, we dined with Mr. &
Mrs. Weoding at 7 o'clock. Mr. Cameron was also a guest.

With these exceptions the day passed eff with its usual
labors.

Barly this morning Mr. Cameron went off itinerating and
will be gone about a week and then will be back here on
his way home. I went dewn to see the Portugees and found
him lying up, net feeling well so he did not fix my table
leg. On Saturdays we always try to make all preparations
for Sunday, so we do all the cleaning up &c that there is
te be dene. Another week has rolled around and Mrs.
Crowley and I are both well, and alse all the other mis-

sionaries. We all praise the Lord fer his goodness and
mercies te us.
