valley, crossing a roaring stream a dozen times. For
three-quarters of an hour we wound up the mountain
through golden slopes of wild oats horse-high which
reminded me of a Kansas wheat field tilted to a forty-
five degree angle. Behind us the view became more
and more dramatic, sweeping from Port-au-Prince
westward across the bay to the island of La Gonave.
As we rounded the hump of the mountain and started
down into the valley beyond, we saw a string of tiny
figures on the trail below who turned out to be the
young people coming to meet us, singing on the trail.
After five hours in the saddle we held a service that
afternoon, and at the Sunday morning service three
people were saved. The eager zeal of these new con-
verts at Barreau needs to be backed by instruction
which we hope to begin soon on a visit of several days'
length for the purpose of teaching them the funda-
mentals of Christian living.
 Last Sunday we had a good trip to Gonaives again
with services at our Canal Bois church. The grade
school there was well begun with 45 enrolled and a
few more expected. Our Port-au-Prince grade school
has 72 enrolled, which is really more than our facilities
can handle. We have two teachers until January when
one will leave to work in the sugar. We just hope
that some of the children will drop out by then, or
that we will have found larger quarters for the church
and school and will have found another teacher.
 We got a letter from Dr. Rehfeldt saying that Dr.
 Samuel Young may visit our field in December. We
 hope to have some definite property picked out by
 then so that he can look it over. We also hope and
 pray that we can get the Alstotts' visa soon so that
 they can get here and be halfway settled by the time
 Dr. Young visits us.
 I'm almost through with some notes on homiletics
 in French. The Bible school students seem quite in-
