 which is certainly a need. It is encouraging to see
 their improvement.
 We have decided that if we are going to have the
 materials we need for various phases of our work we
 will just have to write them ourselves. I know that
 my French isn't even to the place where it has a style,
 but I've got to get started writing sometime. Captain
 Egger's help in correcting my stuff will safeguard
 the correctness of the French, and I am learning a lot
 this way. I am planning a multiple purpose series
 of 16 booklets for use as Sunday school quarterlies,
 baptismal candidate instruction guides, correspond-
 ence courses for preachers, and Bible school text-
 books for the first two years. Each booklet will have
 a section of discussion followed by questions for each
 of the 13 chapters (to cover one quarter as Sunday
 school lessons). There will be four booklets on the
 Old Testament and four on the New. There will be
 four booklets on Christian living and four on Chris-
 tian belief. As soon as I finish the two booklets for
 baptismal candidate instruction guides, I will try to
 get the booklet on holiness done.

November 10--I was fortunate to get a chance to talk
 with the Minister of Interior for a minute as he was

 all that has happened in the past two months since
 the application for the visa reached Port-au-Prince.
 After the papers leave the immigration department,
 I will check them through the police department;
 thence to the foreign office, to the Minister of Foreign
