In Matabeleland

FROM the Solusi station, near Bulawayo, M. C. Sturdevant writes:—

“We are reaping between seven and eight hundred bags of corn, fifty-eight bags of peanuts, and nineteen bags of Kafir peas. We praise God for his blessings upon our field. Our school work is truly onward, mostly in charge of Victor Willson, with our native help. This has given me more time to look after our four out-stations, taught by seven native teachers. Recently we baptized eighteen more precious souls.”

From the Somabula mission, the second Matabele station, W. C. Walston writes of fever in the mission family, and of the death of a little daughter of one of the workers. He adds:—

“We are harvesting our corn now, and have a good crop. The training-school is in a prosperous condition, there being fifty in attendance. Last Sabbath ten persons were baptized. Our courage is good. Do not forget to pray for those in this land of disease and darkness.”
