An Unexpected Pleasure
We had an unexpected and very
unusual pleasure when the S. S. Wat
son was in port. It was told us that
U. v Ihdiert M. Hopkins, of Cincin
nati. Hi!>1 #• School Missionary for the
American Olnistian Missionary Soci
ety, was on hoard, and that In* with
s one huli**s of the First Christian
1 'hinch of S. attic were looking for a
suital le location in Alaska to estab
lish a inissson (Church. Wo lost no
time in getting acquainted with the
party, and inviting them to visit the
Orphanage. Though the day was
stormy and tin* sea somewhat rough
it took no urging to persuade Mr.
Hopkins to come, but the ladies did
not feel like venturing out.
The visit was necessarily a very
hurried one, but. our (flies t had time b>
go through (lie buildings, take supper
with us and to give mi earnest help
ful talk in the Church, it being our
prayer-meeting night.
While we frequently have callers
from various places, this is the first
time, so far as we know, that a min
ister has ever visited the Orphanage
Some of our Baptist brethren came
