A LETTER FROM ONE OF OUR INDIAN PUPILS IN NEBRASKA.

SANTEE AGENCY, NEB.

_Dear Eastern Friends_:--We have had five good prayer meetings during
two weeks, and I am very glad to tell you dear friends that some of
our school-mates said they will try and do as God wants them to do.
And some pray who never did before. No words can tell how I felt one
evening {110} after we came home from meeting. Just before I went up
stairs I asked the Matron if I could talk Dakota to tell my room-mate
about the meeting. The subject was, "What must I do to be saved?" I
told it to her the best I could. After I was through talking I asked
her if she understood all what I meant and she said "Yes." We both
were silent for one minute. I was praying to God in my heart to help
me to help this dear school-mate of mine. Then in a little while she
said, "I believe in Jesus and now I will always try and be a
Christian." When she said that, I couldn't do anything more, I was so
glad that my tears came. And before we went to sleep I ask her to pray
after I did, and she did; this was the first time she prayed in her
own words. It was so dark and I couldn't see anything but I knew she
was crying by the way she spoke. After long time I thought she went to
sleep; but all at once she call my name and said, "I wish tomorrow
morning they would sing in Dakota, '_Ring the bells in heaven, there is
great joy to-day_.'" Dear friends we kindly ask you to remember us when
you offer prayer to our dear God.

Your friend,

----
