On the 30th of March, Mr.
Cochran reported that, with the exception of those most recently admitted, nearly all were hoping that they had passed from death unto life.

In the villages, also, there were cases of peculiar interest.
Mr.and Mrs.Rhea were alone in Gawar.

In the autumn it was deemed advisable, in view of the insurrectionary state of Koordistan, that they should withdraw for a time.

They at first felt it their duty to remain; but the progress of events soon made it plain that Gawar was an unsuitable place for a lone lady, especially when winter should render it impossible for her to remove.

Mr.Rhea, while at Oroomiah, continued, as far as possible, to superintend the labors of the native helpers in Memikan, and he returned the next summer, with Mrs.Rhea, to their mountain home.
