During the last four years, _God, the Mighty God of Jacob, who still doeth wonders among the heathen_, has brought into existence the Female Institute, for the seven Karen clans of Tounghoo. He has also granted the house and land for a Burmese and Shan school. The Institute is now, I trust, firmly established; and the large teak-wood building which the Karens have been aiding me to erect for them, is ere this, I hope, completed.
In order that this undertaking might in no way affect the treasury of the A. B. M. Union; and in order that I might give all the property over to the Karens, and thereby make it _self-supporting_,--I engaged not to receive any aid for seven years from March, 1857, from any Baptist in the United States, either for myself or for the Karen Institute, supposing it would take seven years to get it firmly established.
