| | 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 |
