Magnetawan River runs through the village.
There are two waterfalls for mill purposes in the village. A day
school will commence in the summer, and there is also a church and
Sunday-school, to which I go. In the winter it is not held, because
the roads are so bad, but when the country gets open more the roads
will be better.
"I humbly thank God for guiding and keeping me in good health, and
under the banner of Christ, and I trust walking in His ways, and hope
to remain so unto death, and then live with Him above, there to part
no more.
"My brother is living here also; he has 200 acres of land. Remember
me to all the workers at the Home, praying that we may all, as
Christians, work for the Lord of glory, and at last meet together to
praise Him. 'Wait on the Lord.'
"I remain, yours truly in Christ, W. MILLER."
Those who have been helped, help their kindred in after years. The
following is an instance:--
"DOUGLAS, _June_ 29, 1876.
"DEAR Miss MACPHERSON,--I have been here four years in August, I
will be four years with my master in October. I like this country
well; the crops are growing well, and there is prospect of a good
harvest. Dear ma'am, I have a little brother nearly ten years old,
and he is living with my mother; he wants to come to this country,
and mother is willing he should, and I think I have enough to pay his
passage out; and if it pleased you, would you take him into your
Home, and send him out with your boys.
