g also I found out about a deaf-mute girl in the Marsovanschool for such unfortunates. She is in great need of financial help tokeep her in school. These Sunday schools have managed to give from$2—$5 a y^ar the past two years, first for a blind boy in India and last yearfor this deaf-mute in Marsovan. But it is such a new thing for them togive and they are so very poor themselves that the habit is hard to form.Our schools, the grades and kindergarten, all made presents for poor un-fortunates who would not have any Christmas joy otherwise. They didhave a lot of fun trimming the tree and hanging on their presents for thesepoor children. Then, as a surprise, we gave them each for themselves apicture card and orange. How their eyes shone, for they thought theywere to have nothing. My latest branch of work is the training of our upper schoolboys intoBoy Scouts. They need just the spur and help that such an organizationgives and are so happy over the military side and the manual training.
