BUILDING is the order of the day at the Tsungwesi Mission, Rhodesia, South Africa, and bricks are being made for the purpose. For a month the weather was so cold as to hinder the work. A few more good cows have been added to the herd, making a total of twenty-five. Pastor M. C. Sturdevant has just returned from a trip through the country, having been invited to look at some stock offered for sale. He took occasion to tell the people the object of his being in their country, and they said: “Teacher, you tell us wonderful things, and we see them with our eyes. Why don’t our teachers tell us these things?” Pastor Sturdevant says it would take a volume to tell all the interesting experiences he had with the people. So many are talking of coming to the mission school that it is feared there will not be room enough to receive them. “Our mission is already almost outgrowing us,” says the mission superintendent, and he longs for the health and strength of a few years ago. “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”
