know you did not sleep at all. Come right into my room; there are no
fleas here; I have a bed that is clean, that I keep for the
missionaries. I will spread it for you, and you shall sleep before
any body comes to see you.' The bed was spread; she gave me milk to
drink (Judg, iv. 19), and then said, 'I will guard the door so no
one shall disturb you, and I will wake you for dinner.' I was soon
asleep, and slept two long hours before she woke me.

"When she did, she came with her tray in her hand, where was the
freshly baked bread, the nicely cooked little fish, which, she said,
'my husband caught expressly for you and Mr. Stocking,' honey from
their own hives, milk from their flock, and other simple refreshments.
All was neatly prepared, and we were so thankful for the dear child's
attentions! When dinner was over, she said, 'Now I want you to see
the women; but they must not come here, for they will leave fleas,
and you will not be able to sleep tonight. There is another large
room the other side, and we will have meeting there this afternoon.'

"About three o'clock I met there more than one hundred poor women,
who of course must ask many questions before their curiosity would
be satisfied. They finally became quiet, however, and I could tell
them of the Saviour, who had loved to teach just such needy ones as
they were. I enjoyed the afternoon very much; it was all the more
precious for the discomforts of the night, and the comforts of
Senum's house. The next day was the Sabbath, and most of the time I
was in the 'large room,' where the women came freely. In the
afternoon about three hundred were present. I was weary at night,
but Senum's care, with the thought of the privilege of meeting so
many who had never before heard of Christ as the _only_ Saviour, made
me forget it all."
