 Through the kindness of the gentleman to whom it was addressed, we are enabled to lay before our readers the following ve- ry interesting letter from Beyroot, dated Oct. z, 1925; more than two months la ter than the most recent intelligence be- fore received from the mission. It will be seen that Asaad Shidiak, whose Declare ton may be found on our first page, was still alive as was supposed, but in prison, where he had been confined and i'll treated tor more than si1 months on account of his new religion. The fact of his being still m prison, is proof that he continued sfeadfast in the faithrof Jesus, ,notwithstand- ing the heavy persecution he had been cal- led to bear: fer, a mere assent to the Catholic religion, though it were only ver- bal, would at any moment have freed him from his chains. What an exemplifcation is here, of the power of genuine piety l. The prospect of this mission is truly ani- mating. Seven individuals, most of them persons of great influence give evidence of a saving change, four of them very sat- isfactory evidence 400 male pupils ars under instruction, and 90 females, in ; country where for centuries female educa' ton has been entirely neglected spiri ofinquiry is abroad among the people, ant the hearts of the missionaries are anina. ted with hope, while at the same time they feel themselves surrounded with danger
