returned and decided to invite all the missionaries
 to their house so that they could get acquainted. We
 sang and prayed and then several of us were asked
 to give a testimony of how we happened to come to
 Haiti. They plan to have these informal meetings
 every month. We hope to have one of them at our
 house in the near future. But where will they sit?


 CHAPTER 8-"Our sights are being raised .. "
June 6-I overheard a conversation between E-- and
 an official of the Department of Religion who didn't
 think I understood French- (and I didn't get it com-

 After some difficulty I succeeded in getting the
 official name of our mission on government records
 corrected from "Eglise des Nazareens" to "Eglise du
 Nazareen" [The Church of the Nazarene] for legal
 reasons. E-- didn't want to admit that he had in-
 correctly translated the name into French and also
 tacked on the title "Foreign Department Mission."

 eral Board in Haiti, but we can hold the property
 as representatives of the General Board. We have
 this on good authority, but I will check the laws
 myself if possible before we buy any property.

 "permis de sejour" (which is like a little passport

 "Carte d'identite" (identification card to be carried
 at all times since we are alien residents), auto license,
