I suppose you know we were in thc

battle of Paardcberg where we did up old Cronjc and his gang.-Well that scrapwas scrap, for it lasted for ten days before it was finished. I tell you those Boers are bad men to tackle when there is alot of them. They keep up a. terrific rifle fire. The Sunday we tackled the Boers was the hottest one yet, the bullets were coming like hail,you could tell thedifferent kinds of balls they were by the sound they made going over your head. I had a funny thing happen to inc; the water carrier had justfinished filling my bottle with water and had thrown it on the ground beside me, as I went to pick it up, a bullet came and cut the top clean off. Another fellow who was beside me was just beginning to get ready for a smoke and had his knife i and pipe in his hand and was feeling for

of his hand by a. Boer bullet.

A MISSIONARY’S _WELL

i-H The Reverend Dr. J ohnG. Pa.toii,who for

forty years has been a. missionary to the South Sea Islands, is now in this country and has been relating many of his experi- ences. One of the most interesting is the story of the well he dug, and the effect on the natives. These-heathen, it must be remen:ibered,were on a. small island where no fresh water was accessible. All they

was rain,'and during the dry season, they drank the milkiof the cocoanuts--as long as it lasted. When ‘the “rain-god” delay- ¢d NS Bllswers to their prayers, ,there was much suffering. "After exam_i!_iing_ the ground carefully, Dr.Paton belleveda well might be sunk that would yield fresh water. The “Youth's Companion” tellsf the story: _ _ _ - With much prayerful thought, and

many misgivings lest the water, if he found any, should prove to be salt, Dr. Paton chose a spot,__and began to dig.

He had few friends andfewer' converts,

and these, instead of helping his work, stimulated their heathen neighbors to op-‘ pose it. ` ' »

The savages supposcdhe was crazy. His unhear<_l_ of way of searching for water aroused their superstitious fears. - All he could persuade or hire native hands to do was to pull u. windlass-rope and- draw up the loosened earth as he .sank the well

deeper and deeper." He- dug the earth

with his own hands.. _

After going down thirty feet he struck a

spring. Hesitatingly he tasted it. _It was pure, fresh water. The efect was magical. The man who had' been dis- believed and je/ered at was now a “prophet.”/ He had said he' would go' down into the ground w"‘nnd rainy’ and now the people believed that all he told them about Jehovah and Jesus Christ was true.

We need not tell the sequel--the story

of the destruction of idols, the building of a church, the establishment of schools, the framing of a code of enlightened laws, the transformation ofa tribe of canuibals into a well-ordered'coinmunity. `

The work of Christian missionaries is

often depreciated'-sometimes maligned. Yet no one can question the value of the principle of right conduct that they teach, nor the elevating results that should leg- itimately follow. If good results are hindered by adverse conditions, the con- ditions are at fault--not the religious principles taught. Moral progress, like the progresses of nature, is often hardly apparent in one generation.
