Our lecture course for this year is about made up. Dr. Magoun, while here in attendance upon the conference and to visit his daughter, our music teacher, gave the first lecture in this year’s course. Among others to speak are Rev. Dr. Max Samfield, Jewish Rabbi; Rev. Mr. Mayo, of Boston; Judge Pierce of the Circuit Court, two physicians and other prominent professional and business men here. Our idea is to have all the lectures, as far as possible, deal with practical matters, in some degree according with our regular industrial work. In the past four weeks we have been greatly blessed by the Spirit’s presence with us, over thirty of our pupils having found the “better way,” we trust. With the exception of one or two sitting-room meetings, we have only held a half-hour prayer meeting each day directly after school. Some of the conversions have come with wonderful power and presence of the Spirit, but all with quietness and assurance. We hope for still more, and we are glad to have before us so much of the year with its opportunities for training these “lambs” in the Christian life. Most of them go with their parents and friends to the old churches, where, too often, the weekly or occasional emotional outburst or religious frenzy takes the place of real Christian growth and experience. A number will join our church, two or three even breaking away from friends and parents to find a more intelligent, helpful church connection. * * * * * THE INDIANS. * * * * * LETTERS FROM INDIAN BOYS. Miss Eustis sends us the following letters from two of our Indian boys at Hampton. She says: “Almka came to us a little more than two years ago in his blanket and long shaggy hair, and knew no word of English, and Tom Smith was only a little better off:” My Dear friend I want to speak English.
