These children represent no small amoun\nand tact on the part of the missionaries, who must over\ncome religious and racial prejudices to attract them to the\nplace, and to keep a constant hold upon them.\nMore than IOO different little children and babies have\nbeen shepherded by our Day Nursery the past year; in this\nnumber were 14 different nationalities. This nursery is now\nten years old, and more than any other effort it has dis-\narmed religious and racial prejudice against Morgan Mem-\norial.
