converted. On this trip William and his comrades met with the usual opposition from the priests, and in one village, where Don Alfonso ventured alone, he was imprisoned. A number of people gathered about the house where he was confined seeking to see this "devil,” and taking this oppor tunity Don Alfonso began to preach to them. He was finally released without being harmed. Religious liberty in the country has not done away with persecution entirely, but it has in many sections lessened the severity and the length to which it is carried. Finally they arrived at the home of their Indian guides^ , and there found an interested group of their relatives. The only holdings were under a cruel master, and they begged most earnestly that the foreigners should come and buy the estate and teach them to work, and preach to them the new religion that could bring peace and happiness. William liked the location very much, and earnestly desired that his mission might occupy the land, for surely these Indians and their families should have the opportunity they craved. He felt that he himself would like to undertake this farm work as Mr. Foster had done, provided another worker could be assigned in his place at Urco; the work there was in need of additional workers and could ill spare any of the present force. The work of starting a new farm would, indeed, be a difficult one. A new work always is hard; but had it not been for brave pioneers in the missionary work both of the home and of the foreign fields, how little really great progress could have been made. All honor to the pioneers! After assuring his Indian friends that he would write to his board about them, and telling them he could make no definite promise, he left them with a Bible, which one of ' their number could read. William had accomplished what he set out to do in looking over the ground with a view to a new farm project. Mr. Blaine parted from them, and started on his way to Mollendo, while William and Don Alfonso started for home. They had been gone for several weeks and were glad indeed to turn back to the friends and loved ones. They were given a royal welcome at the old farm, a welcome Joined in by all the Indians, the orphans, and the missionaries. It was good to be back again. William found that during his absence, Rose had gone to be with Mr. and Mrs. Webner in the mission at Cuzco, which had now become quite a flourishing work. Miss Whitney, a new missionary, had taken Rose’s place at the farm. William, with his thoughts turned to Louise, scarcely gave the change a thought. There was no letter from Louise as he had hoped there might be upon his return to the'farm, but he realized that he had hardly allowed time enough for an answer to arrive. Before the week was ended, word was received from Mr. Freeman, at the coast, that the new farm machinery had arrived, and so William started at once to Lima to super intend its inland journey, for such machinery would be very valuable in their projected farm work. If the farm could be run by modern machinery, it would help in the specialized training of their native helpers and eventually make the farm mission work almost, if not entirely, self-supporting. There was also lumber for a new farmhouse which must be transported to the farm in the most economical way, and the new farmhouse was imperative with the developing work. (To be continued)
