WHAT OUR AGENT SAID. 
Rev. W. Wicklethwaite, who with his wife 
visited Shengay some time last month on the oc- 
casion of the anniversary, had given such glowing 
accounts of the progress of the work there that 
others besides myself to whom he described things 
he saw there could not but be highly and agree- 
ably interested. I hope it will so continue, and 
be furthered on, and that Mr. Wilberforce, who is 
reported as coming out, will soon be here, to ena- 
ble Mr. Gomer to extend his work, as he seems 
determined to do ; for in its worldly as well as its 
spiritual aspect the mission is silently taking hold 
upon the people and changing their habits for 
good. It can not stop there ; and your mission 
appears to me to be destined to accomplish still 
greater results in this part of Africa.
