I tell you when you come back after an absence of five or ten years, even the strap seems a dear old-memory. Those men are doing a grand good work.” It was Livingston who said that in the depressing loneliness and solitude of the African wilderness he was held up only by the Savior’s promise: “Lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world.” Tue Missionary’s Wire.— Another traveler in the heathen countries of the East writes thus of the missionary’s wife: There is something, exceed- ingly interesting in a missionary’s wife. I saw much of the missionaries abroad, and even made many warm friends among them; and I repeat it, there is something exceedingly interesting in a mis- sionary’s wife. She who had been cherished as a plant that the winds must not breathe on too rudely, recovers from the separation from her friends to find herself in a land of barbarians, where her loud cry of distress can never reach their ears. New tics twine around her heart, and the tender and helpless girl changes her very nature, and becomes the staff and support of the man. In his hours of despon- dency, she raises his drooping spirits, she bathes his aching head, and smooths his pillow of sickness. I have entered her dwelling, and have been wel- comed as a brother; have answered her hurried, anxious questions, and sometimes, when I knew any of her friends at home, I have been for a moment more than recompensed for all the toils and priva- tions of a traveler in the East. And when I left her dwelling, it was with a mind burdened with remembrances to friends whom she will, perhaps, never see again. ‘NOTICE: Immanuel Conference, which meets on the third week ‘in August at Concord, N.C., has arranged the following program: Thursday night: Sermon by Rev.
