I have often since longed for those days and hours of sweet communion with my Saviour.

I joined the Church a very short time after this, and at this early age was given charge of a Bible class in Abeih.
"Now I must pass over a few more years, when I went to Hasbeiya, to spend a little time with my sister Salome, now wife of Dr.John Wortabet, who was appointed pastor of the little Protestant Church there.

I spent one year of my life here, during which time I took charge of a little day school for girls in my sister's house.

Dr.Wortabet's sister Hannie had opened this school some years before I came.

I do not remember the number of pupils, but there were five little Moslem princesses, grandchildren of the great Emir "Saad-ed-Deen," who was called some years later to Constantinople to be punished for having spoken disrespectfully of Queen Victoria.
