hope and gratitude to God, who is richly blessing
the labors of His servants. 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.”
