the woman. What i« this that thou hast done? And 

 the woman said. The serpent beguiled me, and I did 

 eat " 



You will find almost every time any thing happens 

 that a woman is about, somewhere ; although I am of 

 that sex I don't want to do as I have seen and known 

 some to do. Mrs. Theo. Allen.

jl/*-. A'oo^ .•— I have at last received the hives you so 

 kindly donated to my mission. I have not yet been 

 able to get them over the mountains, but I hope to 

 make you a good report in the course of time. It was 

 mo'-t kind of you, making me this donation. I hope 

 there will be goo l results from it. 



In moving forward to this new countrj', in my mis- 

 sionary life I have struck quite a new manner of life 

 among the natives. It is a new mine from which to 

 dig jewels for the Loid's crown, and promises to be 

 most fruitful. We have now occupied some over 20 

 villages, and there is a much larger call for help from 

 the heathen. We meet with many obstacles, and have 

 already (ur first martyr, a grand man --aved by grace, 

 and assTssinated because of his new life. I have been 

 now over 36 years in this work, separated from my 

 family— my '■ Blue Eyes," now. for 12 years, for this 

 work's sake : but it "is the very work "of God. How 

 deeply I sj'mpathize with you in your Hon-e Papers. 

 They are admirable, and of God. ' I am mo.st thankful 

 God ever led me to know A. I. Root. A. Bunker.

ONLY 20 LEFT. 



We have left some of those 

 slightly damaged copies of 

 Prof. Cook's "Bee-keeper's 

 Guide" that went through our 

 fire a year ago. The reading 

 matter is all right — only the 

 cloth covers are somewhat dam- 

 aged. Price, to close out, 60c 

 a copy, by mail ; or, with week- 

 ly American Bee Journal a 

 year, both for only $1.40. Reg- 

 ular price of the book alone is 

 $1.25. Big bargain where you 

 get both book and Journal (52 

 copies) for $1.40. Better order 

 quick if you want book on ei- 

 ther the.se low offers. Now is 

 the time to begin to read the 

 American Bee Journal. It will 

 continue to be a great paper in 

 1902. And it comes every week.
