It is due we should state, this is (lx first
time our brethren li vveevor bail the opportu¬
nity to give aid to our Mission. Considering
their pou-lly, they have responded to this
call like Christians imlml. Brother Mania
was baptized about H o'clock, and nt night
subscribed S2.50 ta send the gospel to
others. Is not this pruof of conversion ?
But dear brother, turn buck and look at
the history of our Mission hero and eco
what wn have paa-cd through to get to our
present condition. Brother SloVcr began
his labors here in January, 18 j'J. lie found
