saloon, which serves at once for a (lining room, study, class room and also as a chapel for small evening evan gelistic services. We now have a fleet of three of these boats in commission, which we expect to increase to twelve in the immediate future. The boats are widely separated and move from point to point as the work demands. On each boat is a leader and his assistant, and ten students. If vacancies occur they are replaced by young men who give clear evidence of conversion and of a call to Christian work, on the recommendation of any evangelical mission.
FORWARD DECK AND BOATMAN’S FAMILY
When on the boats, the men rise promptly at 5:30, and spend the time till 8:00 o’clock in private devotions and the preparation of their lessons. At eight they assemble for the class work. This continues till 9 :30, their breakfast hour. At 10:00 o’clock they are off for a day of evangelism, and are expected back at 5 :00 o’clock to spend the evening in report and prayer meetings, classes, evangelistic services and study. In addi tion to a brief season of united prayer each morning, they have also a weekly prayer meeting and a second evening for reports and testimonies, which has proved of great value.-
