For more than twenty years has he lived in this little house--the most uncomfortable of all the mission houses I have yet seen. He has never left Prome during that period, except to pay short missionary visits into the jungle. His sons have written begging him to come to America to end his days with them. This he decidedly refuses to do. We went to his little place, and he entertained Mr. Stevenson and mys...
