KITAMAAT HOME LETTER,

Six months have passed since I wrote
for Nonakwa, they have been anxious
and busy oucs. Mr. and Mrs, Raley he-
ing away most of the time, responsibili-
ty has been much greater, Though we
did not like being alone at Xmas every-
thing passed off successfully. The fire-
men decorated the church they put up
some nice drawings behind the pulpit
and a large program of the anthems
to be sung. We had service in the
eburch on Xmas morning the members
of the band were there in full uniform,
and as we were going up the path to the
ehureh, they played ‘Inthe sweet bye
and bye.” In the evening we gave the
eld people soup buns and tea, then we
had Xinastree andsinging by the choir
and children, On Tuesday cyvening the
children gave their entertainment which
consisted uf choruses, quartettes, ducts,

ealisthenies, posing and reeitations. Of
course there was a great deal of extra

work the girls did well, especially Flora
who was never tired, e was useful in
every way, fromacting as interpreter to
cleining stove pipes, T could not begin
to tell what she did, The young men
of the village tearnt and sang several
quirtettes this winter, they have good
voices, The children have been very
well with the exception of a few weeks
when several of them had arash whieh

we thought must be chicken pox.
Elizabeth Cross sister to Mary the lit-
tle girl who wasso ill last year has been
ill for some times. Mr, and Mis. Raley
have been homenearly two weeks, I was
so delighted and relieved to see them.
Dr and Mrs Large were on the boat they
spent two hours with us, the Dr preserib-
ed for Elizabeth and some others who
are not very strong. Among other plea-
sures of the home coming were the gifts
brought from friends, the King’s Daugh-
ter cirele to which I belong sent a lovely
picture, “The New Madonna’, for our
sitting room, it is hanging opposite the
door, and the children always give a
glanee in passing, they love pictures.
At first 1 was disappointed because the
associate matron did not come but when
Mr, Raley explained how it was, I said,
Leould wait with patience, knowing it
would not be for long. I have great
hope in my little girls, this week Annie
one of the Little ones is promoted to din-
ning room girl, she is delighted and gocs
round with an air of importance at the
table, and asks the children with great
dignity, if they want more, then runs
to the kitehen and laughs, she is very
quick in movement, One day T went
home with her to see a sick baby, she
was able to tell her mother every thing
Tsaid, the mother laughed, nodded her
head and looked pleased, It is v
gratifying to hear how much interest is
taken in the home I sincerely hope our

anticipations with regard to it will be
realized. 1 must net fo to express
thanks for the useful bales that have

been sent this winter, we still need yarn
and towels, the girls do a lot of knitting
and it is hard to keep up the supply cf
yarn. In closing T would like to say
how grateful I aim to the ladies of the
W.M.S. for the confidence they have
placed in me, and that I feel it an hon
our to be one of their recognized iis
sionaries.

i, k. Long
