This a.m. Mr. Graham went off en the early train dewn

the line te Quilu, where he heped to meet some men and
talk to them about Jesus. He met with some success. He
had quite an experience. He sat in a house to rest and
there were present several conge lads whe stared at him
fer a long time. At last, he broke the silence by asking
some question, in the congo language. This surprised ther
very much and after conversing a little while with then
they were so amazed that they called to some others whe
were net far off te come and see the menstresity - a res-
urrected man. Net only a resurrected man but a conge man
whe had died and was resurrected white. It was wonderful
They felt of him and talked to him and asked him question:
and leeked at his fingernails - and everything pointed te
the fact (to then) that he was a Congo man resurrected
white. They would net bélieve that he was not until he
called his boy te testify to the fact that he was only a
missionary who had come to Conge to tell them of Jesus.
He was the first white man they had ever seen whe could
speak the congo language properly. The rest of the day
was the same as others with its usual amount of work.

The earliest train that went out this a.m. ran off the
track and caused a blockade several hours from Tumba. The
Express left at the usual hour, but befere neon it came
back again as it ceuld net pass the ene which had run off.
I had ce carriers to come in for their pay - they had
made a very quick trip te Leepeldville, Stanly Pool, only
15 days. They had gone so quickly that they were tired
and wanted te rest from their labors for a while. After
scheol we all went over to the State Quarters to see a
levely Leopard, six menths old and as gentle as e kitten
it was a beauty. It was tied with a chain, not ina cage,
and I went up and stroked it for several minutes it would
play with yeu just like a little kitten. Nothing else of
importance. I ended the old Sgreement with the 5.M.S. &
A.P.C.M. and now we are on a better footing. All well.
