From a Native of India.

Our readers will be interested in a letter from a young lady, a native of India, who is also a student worker in the cause of truth. The letter was written to Sister Minnie Mabley, of Roseburg, Or., whose sister, Della Burroway, is a missionary at Karmatar, India. Brother Little and wife, mentioned in the letter, are graduates of Walla Walla (Wash.) College.

Training School, Karmatar, E. I. R., India.

Mrs. Mabley—My Dear Friend: Your sister, Della Burroway, says she has so many letters to write this week that I volunteered to write one for her

Our school is in a very nice place. We have a big compound (yard) and many kinds of trees are in it. There are eleven boys and ten girls here, besides the workers, which brings the number up to thirty-five. We are having school now. Mrs. Little is our teacher. I study in the school and work in the Watchman Press, of which Brother Little has charge. I like to work there.

I feel so glad when the papers go out, because I know that many people will read them who do not know the truth.

One of my sisters and one of my brothers work in the Press. I teach the little children in the Sabbath-school. I have five boys in my class. I like to teach them. Last Sabbath I taught them about the centurion’s servant, and Mrs. Little asked them some questions about the creation, and about the first man and woman. They were so interested, and they answered almost all the questions.

I hope that you will pray for us, that we may bring them to see the true way. And I hope that when they grow to be young men, they will be able to bring some souls to Jesus.

Many souls are here who never heard about Jesus, nor about the truth. We are getting prepared to go out and tell the people about Jesus and His second coming. Miss Whiteis treats the sick people here. They come here from morning till evening to get treatments.

I have seen your photo and your children’s photos. Your sister showed them to me.

I hope that you will answer this letter, and tell me something about your country. We are having rain almost every day; the flowers and green grass look so pretty in the morning.

Now I must close my letter. With love to you and your little children, I remain your friend and sister.
