_Among the Cannibals_
"The mission Board says that they cannot open a mission station at Arochuku
now," said Mary. "I have asked God to give me a mission station where His
Gospel can be preached to the Aros. I trust in Christ who is able to do
more than I am able to ask or think. I know God will give me what I have
asked."
"What are you going to do now?" asked Miss Wright.
"I am going to do what I believe God wants me to do. I am going to take
some native Christians and make a beginning in the land of the Aros."
Mary took some native boys whom she had trained. They were able to help
with school-work and church services. Mary and the boys went to Amasu, a
little village which was nearer the creek than Arochuku. Here she opened a
school. It was soon filled with boys and girls thirsty for book and the
loving God. She held church services for the people, and many of them came
to hear the white Ma teach about Jesus.
At last it was time for Mary to go back to Akpap. She left the native
Christians to carry on the work of the school and church. The people of
the village gathered around her. They said,
"Come again soon, white Ma. If you do not care for us, who will care for
us?"
As Mary went down the river in her canoe, she thanked God that He had let
her open this new field to the Gospel.
