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 2ND DISTRICT DIRECTOR The U. D. C.
