At Beatrice, after some bitter disappointments of pastors in former attempts there, Miss Leggett is drawing the people together, and work has begun with vigor on a church. Miss Leggett will visit Chicago and Boston in the hope of obtaining help for building. The only time she ever visited Boston was to appear before the American Board, and to be rejected as not sufficiently sound in the faith for mission work in India. She is a devout Christian woman, nevertheless, and is "eaten up" with zeal for her Father's house.
