Work in Maranatha, Africa

By I. B. Burton

ANOTHER month is in the past, and the friends will wish to know what we have done. Well, our meetings have been seasons of great blessing, and to see the heathen natives, grown old under the dark cloud of superstition, listening attentively to the gospel invitation with tears rolling down their cheeks, makes the words of Paul very dear to us. Acts 20:35.
Our school has grown also, its membership now numbering thirty-seven. The night school, which is for adults, is attended by ten, some coming over two miles to learn to read.
We have been ordered away by the native chief of one district, and told to stop work; but I have been to see the magistrate about it, and am endeavoring to obtain government sanction for the school, and also a site. We trust that the Lord will open up the way, and grant our request. I. B. BURTON.
