There have been only a few days
thus far this fall (Dec. so) when cat
tle could not find good food for them
selves.
Mr. Emerson Hough visited Kodi
ak last summer and indulged in a bear
hunt which he describes in two art
icles in recent numt«rs of the Satur
day Evening Post. We fear Mr. Em
erson’s left ear has been burning
lately.
With pleasure we have read of the
conversions, baptisms, and organiza
tion of churches amoug the Hopi
Indians in Arizona. Eleven baptisms
have been reported and one church
established at the Second Mesa where
Mr. Coe labored and one at First
Mesa where Mrs. Coe worked before
they were called to the Orphauage.
May God give courage and strength
to his children to enable them to en
dure the persecutions of the unbeliev
ers.
