Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fifty-Eighth Annual Report of the American Madura Mission: For 1892 Lord wenlock's visit.-in November Lord and Lady Wenlock with their suite visited Madura. It was hoped that Lady Wenlock might open the new Hospital for women but the incompleted state of the building prevented. In the compound of the East Gate Church a covered platform was erected and suitably decorated with flags and mottoes and plants. On the three sides of this plat form were gathered the boys and girls of the various schools at Pasumalai and in Madura and also many native Christians. The Governor on his arrival was welcomed with singing, and after a few introductions, and further singing, an address of welcome was read in which reference was made to the progress of the mission, especi ally in education. Lord Wenlock replied in a brief but appreciative address. An action song by little girls and an English song by the Pasumalai College choir, followed by God Save the Queen in English and Tamil closed the exercises. We feel that such occasions are useful not only in making our work known to those in authority, but also in inspiring our people with a feeling that though they are still relatively a small community, yet they have a place and a share in all that is of public interest.
