G. Sneath, a zealous young missionary artizan, who twice went to East Africa to join the Victoria Nyanza Mission, and twice was ordered home by the consular surgeon at Zanzibar, and who has now essayed missionary service in a colder climate.

Then he goes away, an' Jud is as down in the mouth as if he'd run his fist ag'in' a band-saw.
Sneath went over the hull flume with Jud a little while before he lit out for the East, p'intin' things out ter him that he wanted did when he got back.

They were under the care of Miss Henrietta Harvey, who was now their capable and devoted superintendent.

Viola replied: "I am really greatly obliged to you, Mrs. Sneath, for your kind invitation, and will gladly dine with you today.
