finished, one of the officers of the bank talked w ith him co n cern
ing his fu tu re and a plan for laying aside som ething for a rainy
day. He left w ith a vow th a t he would send us all he could
possibly spare for a fund w hich w as la ter to supply him a home.
He kept his vow. H is rem ittan ces w ere som ew hat irre g u la r and
at tim es we feared th a t he had forg o tten us or th a t som ething
dreadful had happened to him. F in ally we would receive a

He called on the sam e officer of th e bank a few days ago and
expressed his appreciation of the b an k ’s service rem inding th e

th a t the bank had supplied.
