Medical and Bible Work in Karmatar

By B. M. FULLER.

KARMATAR.—The first few weeks after returning from conference were spent in getting settled and taking up the work again. The month of January was cold, and the number of patients was small, as every one enjoys better health during the cold season. But this month we have had our hands full, and have been more than busy. Calls to come and see the sick have come from every side. We have felt at times that we needed to be in several different places at once. Last Friday we were called to attend a patient sixteen miles away. We started, but before we reached our destination, the sixteen miles turned to twenty-nine miles. We were two days and nights in the bullock cart, and were very thankful to reach home again. As we passed through the different villages, the people brought their sick out for us to heal, many cases being chronic and of long standing, and many cripples. It made our hearts very sad, and we longed for the power to heal that Christ gave to his disciples.

We were very much disappointed when Dr. H. C. Menkel passed through without stopping, as we had several cases waiting for operations, and we had planned to have him perform them. Miss Burroway is enjoying her Bible work. She finds many people willing to listen. She has opened one school, and expects to open another in a short time. We are of good courage, but feel our need of drawing closer to God, that he may continue to bless us. B. M. FULLER.
