All that I am, or ever expect to be, is due to Straight
University. May God bless her and the many friends who have
made it possible for us to attend."

ALL HEALING, NORTH CAROLINA.

During the summer about forty of our pupils taught in the public
schools; some had eighty or ninety scholars. In this way our school
really influences many whom we cannot reach. It is so good to see the
interest our young teachers take in their work and how, when they find
a bright boy or girl, they always try the first thing to induce that
one to come to school. Then, too, we see a growing desire among the
scholars to come into school early in the fall, and we rejoice in a
family of fifty-seven six weeks earlier than we had the same last
year.

The richest blessing of the year has begun to fall upon us, the
presence of the Holy Spirit leading souls to Christ. During this month
five have felt that God had forgiven their sins. Is not that enough to
compensate us for anything we may give up to engage in the work?

PLEASANT HILL, TENNESSEE.

A boy we could not receive, although we would have been glad to have
done so, said he had worked all summer for his share of a crop which
was about 100 bushels of corn. He would have about twenty bushels of
the corn left after he had bought himself a few clothes, which he must
have if he came to school, and he thought he ought to help his mother
a little. It was his only chance to get what he so much desired. He
realized that twenty bushels of corn, worth only about $5.00, was very
little for him to do for himself. He would try to prove himself worthy
of any help we could give him.

Still another boy writes: "It is not much I can do for myself, for I
have not been able to find anything to do to get any money, although I
have tried hard. But a friend has just given me a chance to assist him
in his school for a couple of months. I don't know how much he will
pay me, but you shall have _every cent_ I _do_ get. I do want to come
into school, I need the education so much; I want to make a true man."

The Indians.

There has been an interesting revival at Ponca Church, Nebraska, under
the direction of Rev. James Garvie, our Indian pastor.

The friends who attended the annual meeting of the Association at
Lowell will remember Mr. Garvie
