Samabula Mission

By W. C. WALSTON.

WE are well, and enjoying many blessings for which we feel very thankful. No sickness or plague has come near our doors. Our school is full at present, and all the students seem to be making good progress in their studies.

We have started an out-school about twelve miles from the mission, and two of our native teachers are conducting the school, and have a fair attendance.

Our teachers and older boys at the mission go out every Sabbath afternoon, and hold services at several kraals near here; and on these occasions we have, at times, over three hundred natives who listen to the message. Several of our large family are awaiting baptism.

Our mealie fields, we are told by the patrol police, who visit us every few weeks, are the best in this part of the country. They will soon be ready to harvest, and we expect a good crop. We have not been able to get into town with our oxen for about two years, because of the cattle disease, so could not haul our grain to market. But two

weeks ago I went to Gwelo, and as there is but little disease now among the cattle, I was able to obtain a permit to drive our oxen in, also sold our grain, and we are now moving it as rapidly as possible.

We feel that the Lord remembers his work here, and we praise him for his goodness in so many ways. We often wonder how the message is to go to all these people in this dark part of the world. Truly the harvest is great, and the laborers are few. We shall be glad to welcome any who have a burden for this work, to help us carry the truth to the people who are waiting for it.
