THE ORPHANAGE NEWS LETTER.
GOOD BYE GRANDMA!
The steamer which carries this is
sue on its way to our readers will al
so take from us Mrs. M, G. Campbell
who for eight years, with a vacation
of only two months, has been at her
post of duty day or night as need de
manded. She goes to Oregon where
she will care for Curtis, Lulu, Mil
ton, and Kdntund Coe and Cecil Goss
and George Hliinni of Kodiak who
will attend school in McMinnville.
We all join in wishing her God speed
in her new home and labors.
Mr Coe will ac.ompany them to
the new home to see them settled and
will return in August to complete
the remaining _, ear of his appoint
ment after which he and the rest of
the family expect to leave for the
states.
Baptists everywhere should feel
soi row if the fear expressed by Dr.
Morehouse in a letter to a mutual
friend should be realized Speaking
of the inability to undertake new
work in Alaska, he said, “Indeed, I
fear we shall be unable to send a suc
cessor to Rev. Mr. Clevengar, at Cop
per Center.”
Is it not sad that the on ly mission
station in Alaska, supported by the
society which represents the Baptists
of the northern states, numbering far
more than a million members, should
languish for want of money?
The next sentence of the letter will
please those who have labored so
faithfully to support the Orphanage.
"The work at Wood Island is really
the bright spot in onr work in Alas
ka.”
One box of K«°ds wag received on
the May “Portland” and others are
due to arrive ou her next trip.
GOOD READING
There are many publications of re
cent years to which little objection
can be made but a magazine to which
no exception can be taken is worthy
of commendation. Two new publi
cations which come to the Orphan
age regularly are of this class.
“ The' Circle is to be more than a
magazine. It is to be a crusade—a
perpetual campaign— not so much
against evil as /or good. ' We must
have n press that will exploit noble
deeds, heroism, lofty character, the
good, the true, the beautiful.” Funk
& Wagnalls Co., New York, $1.50.
Th Mother's Magazine, David C.
Cook > ,. jlishing Co., Elgin, 111., 50
cents, is now in its second year and
has well fulfilled the promises of the
publishers.
You can well afford to add these to
your reading table and be sure you
say you saw this article in the Or
phanage News Letter.
The U. S. survey boat Patterson,
Captain Hodgkins, arrived in our
harbor June 4, and will spend the
summer working iu the viciuity of
Kodiak.
Mrs. J. A. Silverman of Kodiak will
leave on the June “Portland” for a
visit to the home of her girlhood in
the mountains of Lebanon. Her
friends wish her a pleasant voyage, a
delightfnl visit, and a safe return.
It has been necessary to refuse ad
mission to the Orphanage to six ap
plicants the past month. Three live
300 miles, the others thirty miles,
distant. Oh, for the means to enable
this mission to improve every oppor
tunity for doing its special work.
