MISSIONARY LIFE 
They listened very attentively to our statement ^ 
and then the head-man said he had neither slave 
nor wife., had quit the Furrow, and used no strong 
drink. The second head-man said he had one 
wife, and one slave which he holds the same as a 
sister. She is good, and make farm for him, and 
they get on nicely. He said our law was good 
for the children we were training up in the mis- 
sion-schools, but that they were only bush peo- 
ple, and no sabbe book,’’ and were old now and 
could not change well. Another old man said he 
Ugree” with the rules of the Church; they are 
good, and he would live up to them. Then a 
younger man said he would also do so ; and the 
head-man’s son also agreed to live up to the rules 
of the Church ; only he no be married right 
yet, ^ cause the girl’s mother no gree for that.” 
One woman said she could ‘‘gree” to the rules of 
the Church, only a man owed her some slave- 
money, and she wanted to get that first, as she 
“ no able to pay him.” 
We could have organized a small class, but 
thought it wise not to do so. 
ANXIOUS TO HEAR THE GOSPEL. 
Yondoo, Fembee, and Barkoh are still alive. 
Our meetings there are not regular; for we can 
not always send workers — the sea is too rough
