 and a better day in place of those old 

 dark times, which are now almost gone. 

 In many places so true is this that the very 

 remembrance of them is now as a hideous 

 dream or nightmare which they would, if 

 they could, speedily forget. The things 

 they once loved they now hate, and that 

 with such intensity that they are grieved if 

 anyone casually refers to them. 



But why recount more? Surely these 

 marvellous transformations, and the fact 

 that now there are many happy Christian 

 homes with all that this implies, where once 

 even the name itself was unknown, is a suf- 

 ficient return for all that was endured on 

 all the coldest, hardest and most painful 

 trips ever made by the missionaries with 

 the dog-trains.
