Every night the tent is full to overflowing. The people have ordered and paid for 17 Testaments and 6 or 8 song books of their own volition. We have distributed many tracts. The children learn a song by hearing it three times. It’s a joy to know they will listen to us. We hope to see some saved before we close.
