I showed him the little spelling-book which we use, with which he was much pleased and begged me to lend it to him.

I gave him one, with a copy of the Psalms, which he wished to compare with the Psalms of David as the Moslems have them.

He invited me strongly to come and visit him, and to bring Mrs.
Whiting to see his family." The school continued with little interruption until October 3d, when Miss Tilden arrived and had the charge of the school for nearly two years.

I left in feeble health, with Mr.Whiting, for the United States, where we spent more than one year.

Miss Tilden during our absence was engaged in teaching in the boys' school in Beirut.
