MISSIONARY LIFE 
$150, or $200 a year to support a school-teacher 
there. It ought to be $200, in order that we may 
place a good man there. 
At Mamho, four years ago, the people were 
worshiping a pile of bones under some trees in 
the midst of the town. No new bones have been 
placed there since the Summit-street Sabbath- 
school teacher and preacher has been there. Just 
.such a man ought to be at Yondoo. The young 
man who first pointed out these hones, and ex- 
plained their use to me, told me that a few years 
before, when very sick, he had been brought 
there, and a sacrifice made to them for his recov- 
ery. A missionary showed him a better way- 
When Brother Flickinger was here he gave this 
same young man some hymn-hooks to hold serv- 
ice with, in the village where he lives, which I 
hear he does regularly every Sabbath-day.

A SURPRISE. 
I arrived here the 9th inst., and y ester dp^y 
morning, as the hells were ringing for church, I 
looked out 6f the window, and who should I see 
coming up the street hut Brother Flickinger, who 
had just landed. I thanked God in my heart. If 
his last visit here was hailed with delight, this is 
doubly so ; for there are many things to be done
