" The infant was not a year old, but we received it, and it became a fine, lively, promising girl. * I cannot forbear to mention here, that the efforts of that devoted lady, Mrs. Margaret Wilson of Bombay, were greatly blessed. Her heathen day-schools were very large, and many genuine conversions occurred in them. 238 MISSIONARY LABOURS IN INDIA. With all these difficulties against us, we com- menced building an Orphan Girls' School. The thatched roof was scarcely covered in, when a great flood..., caused by the bursting of the embankment of a neighbouring river, swept over the country ; many people lost their lives, and the stock of provisions, with the harvest, were greatly injured. A famine was the natural consequence, and con- tagious diseases followed in its train. In this time of general misery we collected a number of half- starved children, and thus our new orphan school was filled with pupils in quite an unexpected way. Within the last ten years we have received between seventy and eighty girls into this institu- tion, and the Lord's blessing has accompanied our labours.
