L. T. NICOLA
Two letters were read before the Association, which had lately been received from Brethren Tripp and Anderson, of Buluwayo, Matabeleland, Central Africa, showing that the mission there was receiving much of the blessing of the Lord, and was making very satisfactory progress. The financial statement submitted by the above-named brethren showed that the present worth of the mission on Dec. 31, 1895, was $1679.70, the gross gain for the year being $1910.20. Quite a good deal of trading is being done with the natives, and by this means our brethren are coming in contact with them, and are endeavoring to help them to the best of their ability.
