We took them lino our jeep to give tliem a ride into town, in ey could speak very little bnglisn. As we were riding along, suddenly they be gan to sing in Ergnsn, "Wearer My God to The«.’* 1 asked them wnere tney had learned uiut, and tney replied tnut tney bad learn ed it in the mission. They lived back in tne hills some iz miles from the mission and they told us they were going to the mis sion to attend worship services, and that they went regularly each week. Myrl went on to say, "One sees examples of the value of missionary work every day. One can see everywhere tne value of the teaching of the Bible. Every where are seen better homes, better people, and more sanitary conditions, all reaching back to the work done by missionaries sent out here by the churches of America. When I get back home I will never fail to give my support to such a worthy cause as missions for I have seen with my own eyes its transforming power and influence in the lives of people less fortunate than Americans.” County Bond Quota ..
