THE father and mother of little five-year-old Robbie died of plague at Kalyan. The Mohammedans took him, but cruelly treated him, even burning his body with hot irons, and putting hot spices in his eyes. They hoped thereby to get some property owned by his parents. The Hindus brought him to our dispensary, where he was treated. He was covered with sores. We have had him one year and six months. He reads and speaks English well, as also three other languages. He knows a number of Scripture verses, and can pray. He loves Jesus, and says he wants to go to America to study. God grant he may be a preacher to his own people.
