The Missionary.

By Daniel T. Bourdeau

Nîmes, France.

This is a city of 70,000 inhabitants, situated in Southern France, about twenty miles from the Mediterranean Sea. I came here on the 24th inst.; am busily engaged in preparing the way for a tent effort. This will consume some time, but we shall get to work as soon as circumstances will permit, and hope to see some fruit on ground enriched by the precious blood of noble witnesses for the truth in the Dark Ages.

Though we enjoy more freedom in France than formerly, yet we will have to present a declaration to the Prefect twenty-four hours before each meeting, and receive his permission to go on. We feel deeply anxious that our first effort with the tent may be undisturbed. Pray for us.

My post-office address is Nîmes, Gard, France.

D. T. BOURDEAU.
