LETTER FROM AFRICA. I b
ii
Telling of The Missionary Work E
In That Country. t
The following letter is taken c
from the November Foreign Mis- a
sion Journal published by the
Foreign Mission Board of the i
Southern Baptist Convention. Be
lieving there are many of the ‘
News readers who would enjoy it r ]
and would not otherwise see it, it j
is here given. It will be doubly \
appreciated because it was Mrs. e
W. P. Winn's last letter for publi- s
cation. H< r husband’s continued s
illness made it necessary for them i
to return to America. When they
left Lazus on Aug. 25 she was appar- |
ently well but on Friday the 27, s
she was taken suddenly with Black j
Water fever and on Sunday fol- \
lowing she died. While the ship s
was lying in a harbor Mr. Winn <
was permitted to go ashore for j
burial and the pastor of a Wesley- <
an church conducted a short ser- <
vice at the grave. About eighteen j
months before she turned away
from home and its pleasures —lov- j
ed ones, friends and the noble ]
work of teaching to give herself — ,
with good health and hopeful
heart to Africa, a land of malaria
and dense heathenism. We may
imagine she left at the last as did
Adam McCall at his death when
he said: "Lord, 1 gave myself,
body and soul and spirit to thee.
I consecrated my whc le life to thy
service; and now if it please thee
to take myself instead of the work
which I would do for thee, what
is that to me? Thy will be done”
MRS. WINN'S LETTER.
Ogbomoshaw, Aug. 1, 1897.
Dear Brother: —Almost every
mail brings us a letter from some
brother or sister tel ing us of the
many pravers offered in our be
half: Sister Smith nd I have just
received a loving Christian greet
ing from the dear sisters—Wo
mart’s Missionary I tiion. It it

helpers in our dear home land.
We thank them for their prayers,

faith and works. In union there
is strength, and surely we could
not ask a blessing more pleasing
to our Heavenly Father than the
conversion of precious immortal
souls.
We have been here now' fourteen
months.
Africa is a beautiful country.
“Their summers always last.”
There were lovely vines, shrubs
and trees in our yard in full bloom
when we came and have been so
ever since. Fruit trees have no
stated time to bloom and bear,
some never cease bearing; we have
nice fresh fruit all the year.
Under one of Africa’s loveliest
trees, among a bed of white lilies,
sleeps the little missionary, Edwin
S. Smith, aged almost two years,
we miss him so much. lie was
such a cheer and comfort in this
dark land. Little Ruth is with us ;
she has excellent health ; her ex
ceeding fair complexion and golden
curls make an interesting picture
among these little black children.
We have just received the sad
news of Mrs. Alberta Newton Sut
liffe’s death. She was a faithful
missionary, a b°autful woman,
both i'n mind and in person.
Seven new converts were baptiz
ed recently, most of them from i
the Sunday school; all of them, in
some way from under the infill- '
ence of Christains. Brother Smith |
often says that the most effectual |
work here is done through the in
fluence of native Christains; eve
ry-day Christains preach the loud
est. Ah, is not that the truth ev
rywhere? Mr. Winn, by a gener
ous gift from Brother Lumbley,
has his new church ready for ser-i
vice and a new church organized j
with twenty members. They have |
e'ected their pastor and clerk and j
will soon organize a Sunday school. I
Some o’ the best workers belong
to this church. This is our field
of labor. I leave my class of little
black children almost as reluctan
tly as I left my class at home.
The new ,'hurch is near a larg«-
market, and there is always a large
, crowd.
My husband’s health has been a
great hinderance and discourage
ment to us. We are earnestly
praying now that the Lord will
show' us plainly just what he would
have us t<~> do. Dear friends, unite
with us in this prayer.
You humble sister,
Mrs. W. P. Winn.

4 An Old Ide*.
Every day strengthens the belief of emi-
i nent physicians that impure blood is the
i. cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-five years ago this theory was used
•- as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
e by this famous old household remedy are
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.

“I can gladly recommend Dr.
Hartman’s wonderful remedies.
They are all any housewife needs
with the books sent free treating
on the different ailments. I have
used Pe-ru-na for four years and
it never fails to give relief if taken
in time. Whenever I feel done up
it helps me wcnderfully. In case
of colds, chills, lagrippe, if taken
in hot water, it acts like a charm.
I can recommend it for pains in
the back, cold handsand feet. You
will save doctor bills by the use of
Dr. Hartman’s wonderfu l medi
cines.”

catarrh, it has greatly improved

unwise not to take Dr. Hartman’s

A. S. Corbly, president of the
Chattanooga Fruit Growers’ asso
ciation, has returned from an ex
tended trip to the west, having vis
ited on business, various points in
Missouri, Kansas, Colorado and
Minnesota. Mr. Corbly returns to
Chattanooga firmly convinced that
this is one of the best sections in
the union for the growth of small
fruit. Mr. Corbly and several
other Chattanoogans are interest
ed in the planting of peach or
chards and berries at Menlo, Ga..
where they have purchased an ex
tensive tract of land. Mr. Corbly
and Dr. S. B. Cook will plant about
fifty acres in peach trees this
winter and about forty-five acres
to strawberries next spring.—

Perhaps.
