School and Dispensary Work at Karmatar
By J. L. Shaw
CALCUTTA.—We have started a small school at Karmatar for our own children. Twelve are now enrolled, and others will probably enter soon. Sister Black has charge, and Sister Orr is assisting her. They are getting along nicely. Dispensary work is also being carried on. Patients and their friends come from miles around to secure help, and see what is being done. I hope that the workers will soon have the language, so that they can talk to the people.19 The last time I was there, I went to one of the villages; and as I was telling the people that the Lord that made everything made them and loved them, to which one man said with astonishment, that “I did not know that the Lord loved him.” What a pity it is that we are not able to speak the language, and tell these people of the love of God that casteth out fear.
