78 done the very day the husband is buried. The law does not take note of such action, and so the helpless widow must submit to her fate. Only a few weeks since a man who had attended our church a few months died and left his wife with no one to protect her. The Christians, fearing that she would be seized and carried away, made arrangements for her to go to the home of one of the Christian women and stay till other arrangements could be made. That afternoon her husband's brother came and carried her away, and we have not heard of her since.
