OLD FORT NEWS
VOLUME III
THE OLD FORT NEWS
The Old Fort Nfews is pub
lished each week in connection
with the Marion Progress.
MISS GERTRUDE DULA,
Editor and Business Manager.
THE GOSPELS IN HOPI
To the more than 800 tongues in
to which the Bible or its parts have !
been translated, two more were ad-!
ded in 19*29.
Pause over this a minute.
It may jar the atheist as it will
please the believer who remembers
the injunction, "Feed my sheep."
It is from the Nashville Christian
Advocate (Methodist, South) :
"For the fh'st time the four Gos
pels were issued for the Eskimos of
the Bristol Bay and Kuskokwim
River district in Alaska from a
translation made by Moravian mis
sionaries aided by a group of na
tives.
"The four gospels were also pub
lished in the Hopi tongue for the In
dian tribe of that name living near
the Grand Canyon.
This is the first time that any
part of the Bible has been made
available for this tribe, and is the
thirteenth Indian language spoken
in the United States in which the
American Bible Society has pub
lished Scriptures.
"The Book of Psalms, translated
by Mr. George Allen and his daugh
ter of San Pedro, Bolivia, has been
published in Bolivian Quechua, a
language spoken by a large Indian
population in the Andes Mounains.
"The Book of Proverbs, published
early in 1929, was the first portion
of the Bible to appear in tthe new
Turkish alphabet , in obedience to
the edict of the Gevernment forbid
ding thte further use of the Arabic
alphabet.
"Thus this great agency for dis
seminating the Scriptures pursues
and enlarges its works."—Literary
Digest.
MRS. GEO. SANDLIN

ing was held in the First Methodist
Church. The program arranged by
the hostess chapter for the enter
tainment of the visiting ladies con

Group singing by students of the

in its appeal, and made a strong im
pression on the listeners.

meeting. Her descriptive account of
the unveiling at Gettysburg of the
North Carolina monument was very
vivid and interesting. During the
business session Mrs. Geo. Sandlin

elected district director. A delicious
dinner was served in the dining
room, which was attractive with its
profusion of spring flowers and pot
ted plants.
