During the’ past few months 27 were baptized, among them 12 adults. - Others are receiving Christian instruction at the various stations, preparatory to baptism. At one of the stations the class under instruction num- bers 100. A new chapel was recently dedicated, and the services were largely attended; at another station also a chapel was being built and was soon to be dedicated. As the work is increasing, the need of larger means and more laborers becomes very urgent. We are glad to hear that the Rev. F. R. Zucker of Cleveland, O., has accepted the call of the Foreign Mission Board and will soon enter the mission field in that distant land. May God be with His young servant, keeping him in His lov- ing care and safe protection, and blessing his labors according to the riches of His grace, to the glory of His great name among the heathen and to the salvation of many souls. , Tuer unthankful heart discovers no mercies, but the thankful heart finds every hour filled with God’s mercies and blessings. An Instructed Witness. A boy twelve years old was the important wit- ness in a lawsuit. One of the lawyers, after cross- questioning him severely, said, “Your father has been talking to you and telling you how to testify, hasn’t he?” . “Yes,” said the boy. : “Now,” said the lawyer, “you. just tell us how your father told you to testify.” “Well,” said the-boy, modestly, “father told me the lawyers might try and tangle me in my testimony, but if I would just be careful and tell the truth, I could tell the same thing every time.” - BOOK TABLE.
