Communications
• Editor’s note:—Occasionally ar
ticles come to our desk that are
highly worthy of no#. The fol
lowing communication, by Orville
arson, who with his older brother,
was in the mission field in Nome
and vicinity, spreading the Gospel
amongst the Natives, about 16
years ago, gives one a pertinent
view of the happenings in the
devastated territory of China, now
in the throes of war. Rev. Carlson
followed another brother, who was
in the same field of work in China.,
but was sorrowed upon his arrival
in that field on learning of the
death of his brother.'
Dear Friends:
Greetings in the Name which is
above every name.
Long have 1 been silent toward
many of you. but perhaps the time
has come for the silence to be
broken. Under the circumstances,
a little history will be necessary
here.
Tw o years ago, while I was still
preaching the Gospel to the hin
ese, I was invited by our super
intendent, Mr. J. B. Kuhn, to visit
the Lisu field in the extreme west
of Yunnan. Mr. Kuhn had in
mind that part on the upper Sal
ween river considerably north of
the famous Burma road
Just a brief word as to the Li
su: They are supposed to be one
of the aboriginal tribes that in
habited the country before the
Chinese came on the scene. They
number only around 100.000. it
is estimated, and inhabit espec
ially the rugged Salween valley
from Tibet in the north to Siam in
the south. They differ from the
Chinese in language, dress, ap
pearance, customs, character and
disposition, but are much influ
enced by the superior civilization
of that race where they come in
contact with it. They had no writ
ten language of their own. Politi
cally, they are a subject people.
During the last twenty odd years,
Christianity has gained quite a
position among the Lisu.
Together with Mr. and Mrs.
Kuhn, I travelled to their station
of Oak Flat, high up on the moun
tainside above the rumbling Sal
ween. The visit lasted two
months, during which time 1 mix
ed much with the friendly peo
ple. As the outcome of that visit,
I was designated by the Mission
leaders to Lisu work, and was sent
to a station six days’ journey by
tortuous canyon trail north of Oak
Flat—to Luda village. The very
name stirred my deepest emotions,
for it was at Luda that my bro
ther Earl died. Hence, my labors
far well over a year have been
over that rough plat of ground
marked by a simple wooden cross
—my own brother’s grave. This
circumstance, far from being a
trial, is a challenge, and an in
spiration. I feel that my supreme
duty in life is to do a work wor
thy of God, starting in theplace
where my brother was so seem
ingly prematurely removed from
earthly service.
Whil in Luda, I lived in a crude
ly constructed little Lisu shack
with walls of woven bamboo mat
ting, and roof of grass. Meals
are taken with my senior mission
aries, Mr. and Mrs. A. B. ooke,
whose house joins hard on mine.
But a description of my surround
ings in a Lisu village situated in
this scenic Salween gorge can’t
be fitted into the limits of this
letter. While trying to get a work
ing knowledge of the language, I
have been visiting various villages,
holding meetings, teaching in Bi
ble schools and preaching here in
•,he big .Luda- chapel.
Getting down to mere recent
events, only a few days ago I re
turned to Luda after a month’s
absence out in the villages At
first 1 was teaching Christians,
but later, following what seemed
to be Divine leading, .vent into
heathen districts. Also I was look
ing for an opening in e heathen
district to which 1 went, last year,
but in which I was. o', account
of illness, hindered from working.
You have read, no r.c not. about
desperate robbers who sally out
from their mountain fastnesses to
prey upon defenseie-s Travellers
and peace-loving villager-, Well.
I went right into the mountain
fastnesses where the robbers live.
In fact. 1 was right near one vil
lage when the men-folks came
home laden with loo*. Many of.
these people I exhorted to Turn
to the Lord. My Testimony was
brief, and though delivered in
faulty Lrsu, was backed up with
not a little faith and prayer. le«
plained Who it was that sent me.
and also delivered His message.
Some said: “We can’t get along
without drinking whiskey and
smoking tobacco,” *not mention
ing other manifold sins against
God and man*. Others said: "We
are brewing whisky now. but
come around after the New Year
and we will believe.” To one who
especially urged me to return. I
said: “But if I were to return,
where could I stay'’" He replied:
“Across the valley there, in
Foundation village.” pointing
with his finger to a . illage over
on the other side of the precipi
tous ravine. It was a collection
of some twenty black-looking
shacks propped up amongst im
mense boulders on the shoulder
of a ridge, the mountain towering,
above. Something about the cir
cumstances made me feel that this
was Divine leading.
On the following day. as we
were nearing the aforementioned
village. 1 suddenly recalled the
conversation of th previous eve
ning, and then and There prayed
■very definitely to God, asking Him
to lead me in a plain path. Very
dubious though, I was about pos
sibilities. I cried earnestly to God
that He would work. At the point
where we struck the village, a
woman was doing the .very ordi
nary job of pounding out corn,
and an old man was standing lei
surely by. Squalling down. I
opened a conversation, expecting
that more people would soon ga
ther. However, in a short 'time,
the old man, who was very cour
teous. invited my two companions
| and me into his house S< far, so
! good I had not always been treat
jed thus. Suffice it to say, now
| that beyond my expectations were
I the results of that visit Not only
| were we hospitably entertained,
but I was asked to returh. and in
vited to live in that very house.
Finally, let me mention another
project that looms up big on my
! horizon. Our superintendent has
! approved of my proposal to take
: a trip into Tibet proper, and sug
! gests the months of March and
: April. The people of that be
i nighted land on the roof of the
| world have burdened my heart
for about seven years. It may. be
the Lord plans to send in laborers
some day from this valley. (The
Salween flows out of Tibet into
Yunnan). Three weeks' travelling
should bring me to the border,
and then—I don’t know what.
Some of you know the inaccessi
bility of Tibet and the way she
has treated Christ’s ambassadors,
so you realize it is no pleasure
trip. I go forward hoping in the
limitless patience and grace of
Gog.
I plead ye_r help in prayer and
yourlet’.ers are piost welcome.
Your mother in Christ,
ORVILLE CARLSON.
SCHOOL NOTES
During the past week, among
events of common interest were:
the first publication of the North
Star, high school paper, which was
given tc all those paying dues in
the high school student body.
Experiments were conducted
concerning properties and pecu
liarities of plant life during bio
logy periodc The Junior-Senior
American History class, in order
to present current war facts and
facts leading up to current war
events, has set aside blue Mon
days history period to delve into
this field.
The physical education class is
holding a series of four volley ball
games—the girls versus the boys.
The boys appear to be the victors.
Another skiing party is under
consideration, and if pleasant
conditions prrveail, the majority of
the high school may be seen pil
laging through the snow in the
vicinity of Newton Hill, on St.
Patrick’s- Day.
Six weeks tests are also sched
uled for this week, so students,
prick up your ears and study.
Tell them you saw it in The
