In addition to these was the Female School with thirty girls, taught by Raheel.
In 1848, on the organization of the first Evangelical Church, nineteen members were received, of whom four were women.

Dr.De Forest had seven native girls in his family, and there were fifty-five girls in other schools.
In 1849, Mrs.Thomson and Mrs.De Forest visited Hasbeiya to labor among the women, by whom they were received with great cordiality.

The girls' school of that time was regularly maintained and well attended.

Dr.De Forest had thirteen native girls boarders in his family in Beirut, and Mr.Whiting had five.
In the Annual Report of the Beirut Station for 1850, it is stated that "a more prayerful spirit prevails among the brethren and sisters.

One pleasing evidence of this is the recent establishment of a weekly female prayer-meeting, which is attended by all the female members of the Church.
