road was under water. On asking, we found out
that the trucks had been going through it and it
wasn't more than two feet or so deep in most places.
The way it turned out, we drove not less than three
miles on roads that were under water, praying the
whole way that the Lord would keep at least one
cylinder chugging-which He did! The water was
often above the level of the jeep floor, but not much
came inside because the sponge rubber stripping is
still pretty good. I was pretty tired when I got home.
I was glad I had one of the Bible school boys with
me in case of trouble.
 Well, I've done it again. I was practically over
my last case of mango-itch, and I ate another delicious
mango when I was up in Gonaives. That was Friday
afternoon. Saturday my eyes began to itch and also
several patches on my hands and arms. Sunday
morning my eyes were almost swollen shut, but I
massaged them and it only looked like I had just
come back after a lost week end. Today, I still have
some of it left, but I think I will almost be able to
pronounce it "cured" tomorrow. When will I ever
learn not to eat mangos? Lucille Walker says that
there is one kind she can eat that doesn't give her
the itch. I think I'll try it and see. It's just like poison
oak only it doesn't last as long. And I don't know
anything to help it.
 We now have over a hundred books and pam-
phlets in French and Creole for our Bible school li-
brary. That's a good start. The difficulty is that
almost all of them are paperbound and that way they
won't last long once the boys start borrowing them. I'm
going to see if we can get the more important ones
bound. It seems strange that most of the books
printed in France and Switzerland are paperbound,
but I guess it is the cost that explains it. We are also
going to try to build a small, select library in English
