Mr. Geo. W. Palmer of Knik made
us a visit recently to see hischildren,
Marv, Annie, and Bud. He express
ed his full satisfaction at the care and
training the children have received,
and said, “I am sure it was the wisest
thing I ever did to semi these child
ren here. They came two and a
half years ago not knowing a word
of English aud now they write a bet
ter letter than lean.”
Mr. Palmer thinks Knik an excel
lent place for another mission and
he pledges all asssatance in his pow
er, if one is established.
Onr children often are compliment
ed on their letter writing. Lillian
Albert's father never fails to tnentie a
in his letters his surprise and pleas
ure at her advancement, and she has
been here only two years.
Last spring the Longwood school,
on one of their letter days, wrote to
one of our regular correspondents in
New England who replied, “The let
ters from the children and their work
were excellent and I appreiiate
them. The penmanship and English
of these three hoys are far inferior to
those of the Alaskan children.”
Alaska with till her natural wealth,
all her prospects, all her opportuni
ties for and need of Christian work
should have a much larger place in
the thoughts, plans, prayers, and be
neficence of the more than 5,000,000
baptists of the United States than at
presence. We are not pr<>ud of the
fact that the Orphanage is the only
mission, nor of the fact there is only
one ordained minister, of the Baptist
denomination in Alaska.
