That is the trouble. and when the subject was before the committee the first suggestion was to abolish the mission. because the consular reports and all information connected with the mission show that it has very little reason for existing. There are sbme missionaries there to be protected. and our inister watches over their interests. when he is not sick. It is a trying climate. Even doctor bills take a good part of his salary. There is small trade. We have always hoped there would be a larger personal intercourse and increased population by emigration of our colored fellowcitizens. but they do not go. and they. are not going to emigrate in that direction.
