Smith, has recently returned from a trip In tho country, whero ho has been hold ing special services with another one of his schools. Ho organized tho Sunday school in August last, in a neighborhood that had not had a religious servlco In It for years, and tho most of the people were Indifferent and skeptical. There not being a Christian in the district to suporlntedont tho Sunday school, 'a man with good morals though not a Christian, was chosen, ns superin tendent, and did a good work until tho school adjourned because of bad Toads and weather. Tho missionary says, the peoplo rtold him there was no use of his com ing to their neighborhood to hold meetings, for no ono would attend. Hut ho secured tho uso ot tho school houso, and began services on a Tues day night, ho acting as Janitor, musician and preacher. About 1C came tho first night, mostly through curiosity. Ho says the district was a hard place to work, as thero was not a Christian to help him, but when tho meetings closed on tho following Sunday night, thero had been a fath er, two mothers and five young peo ple converted. Missionary Smith also gives us a partial report of his past year's work. He has organized 11 Sunday schools, having 30 teachers and 285 scholars. Visited to aid CO Sunday schools with 319 teachers and 3C02 scholars. Traveled 3950 miles, mak ing K0r pastoral visits to homes in tho rural districts. Delivered 91 sermons and addresses, having 49 conversions.
