They are Sada Barakat and Sada el Haleby.

The former has written me a letter in English in regard to her own history and religious experience, which I take the liberty to transcribe here verbatim in her own language.

She was one of the _least_ religious of all the pupils in the school, when she was first received but the work of conviction and conversion was a thorough one, and she has been enabled by the grace of God to offer constant and most efficient testimony to the reality of Christian experience, in the responsible position she has been called upon to fill in the late Mrs.
Thompson's institution.
Suk el Ghurb, Mt.

Lebanon, _September 3, 1872_.
Dear Sir--I am thankful to say, in reply to your inquiry, that I was not persecuted when I became a Protestant, like my other native sisters were when they became Protestants, because I was very young.

I was about four years old when my father died, and a year after, my mother married a Protestant man.
