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.
