Generally, if he has money orfriends, he can redeem himself. If he is put to death, or is sold, he is saidto be carried off by the devil. Of the school at Edina, Mr. Crocker writes. May 13, 1837, There areabout fifteen or twenty children of colonists, and eight natives. Br. Dayteaches reading, writing, arithmetic, grammar and geography. He seemsto take a deep interest in his work. He has, as an assistant, a young manby the name of Peyton Stewart,* brother to Mrs. Day, about twenty yearsold, a member of the Baptist church in Monrovia. This young man de-votes his whole time to teaching the native children. His success has thusfar exceeded our expectations. 1.
