On my return from visiting our out-schools, I found a letter from Brother M. C. Sturdevant, asking me to send him two bricklayers to assist him in building their home. I immediately got on my bicycle and rode fifty miles to try to find the men, as we had none on the station at the time. I found them, and made necessary arrangements for their release, and, in a few days, they were ready for their long journey. So you see the world is not so large after all, when we in the heart of Africa can assist our brethren on another station. This is especially significant as it shows how the message is spreading. Then, too, the great desire of the native to learn is marvelous. Our out-schools have increased to forty-two, our native teachers and assistants to eighty. These schools are spread over a large territory. We have just found two new sites on the way to Brother Sturdevant’s mission.

Our creamery is doing well. The white workers have had exceptionally good health this year. Our crops, especially the cotton, are not very good, on account of the late rains.
