Our First Abyssinian Station

By A. Grundset

WE are glad to report a dwelling-house for two families nearly completed, and a school building, with three rooms and a tokul, or native kitchen, where students prepare and eat their food. These, with our barn, granary, implement room, and a good well, represent hard labor, everything being built of stone, with the roof and ceiling of zinc and sheeting. All the trade work, as the masonry and carpentry, have been done by the missionary staff.

Our last year's grain crop was good, considering that it was our first year. We feel thankful to God for His sustaining grace.

We have a good class of students; and as we have but fairly begun, we expect a yet larger training school work, from which we believe fruit will appear in due time.

A. GRUNDSET.
