By E. B. GASKILL

CAPETOWN.—Mrs. Gaskill and I recently spent a few weeks in Kimberley, and the change did us both good. Peace, as you know, was proclaimed here on the first of last June; and since our return from Kimberley the Boer prisoners of war that had been sent to the prison camps in India, Bermuda, Ceylon, and St. Helena have been coming home. This gives us an excellent opportunity to place our literature in their hands as they pass through Capetown. I have been doing what I could, and have distributed thousands of papers and pages of tracts among them.
When I consider the conditions of the country, with martial law in full force so long, I can but thank the Lord for the many favors and privileges which the authorities have granted me, which have greatly helped us in our work here. I have always been able to get from the authorities what I have asked for, even being allowed to go among the prisoners to distribute literature. We are very thankful that the Lord sent us here, and for the many experiences we have had during our stay, which has been anything but monotonous, one event following another in quick succession. E. B. GASKILL.
