Judson, who threw herself into all the work and interests of the mission with great animation.

I did him a service nay, I have forgotten what the service was, as I forget all things, save only the guilt of the evil man, once my friend." "Tell me once more thy story." The Burman cowered down and whimpered. "Since I put it into speech for thy ears, my trouble of mind has grown, like moonlight in the mist. I may not speak it again.
This detachment consisted of Inspector Snyder, Sergeant Anderson, Corporals Fitzgerald and McClelland, and Constables McLaren, Lett, Burman, Lelonde, Burke, Vernon and Kerr. The conduct of these men, it is needless to say, was the admiration of all, and assisted materially in the successful progress of the expedition."
Let it go and tuck in your handkerchief like the rest of us. See you at five!" At the hour named the party had gathered. Percival, Arledge and his lively wife, Yelverton, who enjoyed the rare distinction of having lost money to Percival, and Burman.

Judson commenced preaching the gospel in a building erected for the purpose, called a zayat. Until this time he had not attempted publicly to discourse after the manner of preaching in America. His audience consisted of twelve or fifteen adults, besides a large number of children. On the 27th of June, the first Burman convert was "buried with Christ by baptism."
