| | 1 | Author: | Oskison, John M. | Add | | | Title: | The Problem of Old Harjo  | | | | Published: | 1996 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | THE Spirit of the Lord had descended upon old Harjo. From the new
missionary, just out from New York, he had learned that he was a
sinner. The fire in the new missionary's eyes and her gracious
appeal had convinced old Harjo that this was the time to repent and
be saved. He was very much in earnest, and he assured Miss Evans
that he wanted to be baptized and received into the church at once.
Miss Evans was enthusiastic and went to Mrs. Rowell with the news.
It was Mrs. Rowell who had said that it was no use to try to
convert the older Indians, and she, after fifteen years of work in
Indian Territory missions, should have known. Miss Evans was
pardonably proud of her conquest. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
