A MEETING OF THE NATIVES AT VUASU, GERMAN EAST AFRICA
WE had a most beautiful Christmas week here in Vuasu. The last week in the year was prayer week. I made it a rule to start prayer-meetings about Christmas with the natives. On Christmas morning we had everything arranged, and extended invitations all about our station, asking the people to take part in giving thanks to the Giver of all things for the blessings of the past year, and to pray him to give us a good new year. The picture shows the gathered group, numbering two hundred fifty. We could not get them into our little school building, of eleven by twenty-seven feet; nevertheless we had most attentive audiences. The next day it was the same. They enjoyed listening to the story of the Christ born on earth, who suffered and died for us, but more, who arose and ascended to the right hand of God, whence we await his return.
