Now Preacher and Teacher from East and from West, If you would succeed you must do like the rest; Be partial to white folk or take the disgrace, Of showing regard for a down-trodden race. E.N. RUDDOCK. * * * * * THE INDIANS. * * * * * STREAKS OF LIGHT. REV. C.L. HALL, FORT BERTHOLD, NORTH DAKOTA. A girl about seventeen years of age writes the following to her teacher while she is away from school for a short vacation among her people: "DEAR FRIEND:--I will now try to write a few lines to-night to tell you all about what we are doing now; first I tell you when first we came home we told the girls to come to our house that we would have prayer meeting the first thing; I tell you they are real good girls, L----, M----, A---- and M----; we did not expect them to come; it is far away and they were so tired yet they did not mind, they come right away before we saw them. We went upon the hills, Mary and I, we prayed, and when we came back we was surprise to see the girls coming. So we had prayer meeting; that was the first time that L---- ever prayed; we thought we would have prayer meeting to-day, but we are sorry the girls did not come, they did not know; we expect to go to Minot Monday if nothing should happen." Another says:--"I don't want to see the Indian dance. I like to stay in the house and I like to read the Bible every morning, and in the afternoon I ask God to bless the boys and girls and keep you always, and I know he will help all if we ask him." N---- and G----, two little sisters away on a vacation where no Sabbath is observed, go away on the prairie alone and have prayers together. After evening service those who wished to follow Christ were asked to remain to an inquiry meeting, and eight remained, and in their own language some expressed very clearly a desire to follow Christ and a consciousness of their own sin and weakness. Mrs. B----'s husband died very earnestly endeavoring to teach her the faith he had come to have, and asking her again and again to have no idols, but to worship and believe in God alone. She is now an earnest seeker after light, is visited on Sunday by a leading man who lives near her, and who is asked to tell them on the Sabbath of the religion and the God of whom her husband had told her. A father, a hearer, but yet a heathen, says: "I want to put the boy in a school where he will learn God's ways. I do not want him in a school where religion is not taught." * * * * * ELIZABETH WINYAN.
