About seventy-five visitors came from neighboring towns.  They enjoyed looking at the school work, and they enjoyed their lunch under the trees, and the marching and drilling of the boys with their wooden guns.

But the best thing in the day was the meeting in the afternoon.  Our Christian Endeavor guests, with the school and some of the agency people and neighboring Indians, filled the chapel full.  Several of the societies had pretty banners, and it was inspiring to see them come marching in.  The meeting was just a warm-hearted Christian Endeavor meeting.  Each society responded by a verse of Scripture recited in concert, or a song, or by the words of some member chosen to represent them.  There was also time for volunteer prayers and testimonies, and a number of songs.  We were all glad to be there—­glad to belong to a great army of Christian workers—­and we believe our boys and girls will not forget it, but that the thoughts of that hour will help to make them strong.

After these guests went home, there yet remained the principal’s reception in the evening, where the school gathered with our Agency and Indian friends, to talk a little while and say goodbye.  There was one delightful little surprise when Dr. Riggs called up thirteen of the Indian girls and gave to each, as a reward for faithful, successful work in bread-making, a copy of a cook-book to take home with her.  The pupils enjoyed all these last days, but especially the Christian Endeavor rally, and we shall remember this year’s close as our Christian Endeavor commencement.

CHINESE.

The following letter was written by a young man who was converted in our Chinese school in Salt Lake City.  It is a notification to his teacher of his arrival in China.  It is interesting as a suggestion of the far-reaching influences of our Chinese work: 

     HONG KONG, China, April 5, 1896.

     DEAR FRIEND MRS. M.E.  JONES: 

     I have arrived here on Sunday 5th of this month, and was very fine
