trip to the Citadel (big fort built by King Christophe
 in the early 1800's on the top of a mountain, took 14
 years to build and 10,000 slaves).
 Mrs. Chapman's visit was a great blessing to us
 and to our people. She is really a woman of God and
 we had wonderful services. I translated for her and
 it was good practice for me. She will also continue
 to do us good by her influence as a member of the
 missions department of the General Board. She was
 in Africa for twenty years and she knows missions
 as almost no other person in our church. She realizes
 our limitations and needs as well as our possibilities
 and opportunities.
 The Alabaster giving plus General Budget giving
 have made possible the following funds in Kansas
 City for Haiti: $6,000 for a mission home, $5,000 for
 a church in P.-au-P., $5,000 for a Bible school, $2,000
 extra for equipment, $1,000 for furnishings for the
 Bible school. Now we have the problem of settling
 our legal basis for buying and holding property in
 the name of the General Board. When that is done,
 we will buy the properties that we hope to find in
 the meanwhile.
Feb. 28-Had a wonderful trip to the north. We visited
 several other missions and stayed at the Wesleyan
 Methodist compound at Port Margot (pronounced
 "por Margo").
 Monday we hiked to the Citadel, a colossal fort-
 ress which King Christophe built shortly after 1800.
 I just couldn't get over how anyone could build such
 a huge, huge thing on top of a rugged mountain like
 that. It defies imagination.
 We took a neuro-surgeon with us to the north
 whom the Ortlips [Wesleyan missionaries] had met
 at their hotel, and he became just like one of the
 family. He wasn't a Christian and was just ignorant
