northern ones near Gonaives) and preachers have
stayed with us. Of course, we don't know if they are
all staying with us for pure motives, but we'll never
be able to be sure of that. The fact is that E-
wasn't as indispensable as he thought he was-or
even as we thought he was! We honestly were sur-
prised when we discovered that practically all the
people were loyal to us, though I think it was due to
their distrust and dislike of E-- rather than to the
fact that they loved us so much more than they loved
him. These people are strictly opportunists. In all
this I am not discounting the power of God, for surely
He helped us to hold the thing together. But you
have to understand these people or you'll get really
fooled. You need zeal and knowledge. But we feel
like this is the dawn of a new day for our work in
Haiti. We have now gotten rid of our one greatest
hindrance to progress, and we are trusting the Lord
to help us establish and develop our field for His
glory and the salvation of souls. We have written
Dr. Rehfeldt that there is an imperative need for
another couple here if we are to keep our work in
the north. We are organizing our work now so that
we can get the south well enough developed so that
the new couple could supervise it several months
after they arrive and so we can move north to
Gonaives to live and get that work established in
the north. We hope we can move up there by next
winter or a year from now. Of course, we'll have to
make frequent trips to P.-au-P., but we'll let the
new couple attend to a lot of the business here.
 A week ago today (Tuesday) we made a "flying"
trip to Gonaives and back. Before that we didn't
know for sure if Cauvin and company were actually
with us. We took two preachers with us to help explain
what had happened regarding E- and to verify our
story. Cauvin told us that E- had said that we had
