Within the Pacific Union an exciting new chapter is being writtel in the annals of Adventist missionary work. There is perhaps n( more thrilling mission activity anywhere in the world than that being developed for the American Indians, a glimpse of which is shown in this center spread. During the past 10 years this work among the pagan tribes of the Southwest has grown until its influence is being felt throughout the nation. Four mission stations are being developed— Navajo Mission School, Holbrook, Arizona; Monu- ment Valley Mission and Clinic, Monument Valley, Utah; Maricopa Mission and School, Laveen, Arizona; and Twin Buttes Mission School on the Navajo Reservation north of Holbrook. The 10-grade school Indian girls at Navajo Mission School learn baking .and other household arts. at Holbrook provides Christian educational opportu- nities for 100 Indian youngsters annually. Some gratifying results are coming from the dedicated efforts of Prof. Frank Daugherty and his staff. More than This 141 40 students have been baptized at the school, and has neve There ar many of these are preparing themselves to become What wi workers among their own people. This school is of great importance to the entire program of Indian work being conducted in the Pacific Union, since it is the training ground for Indian young people who will become worker( among their own tribesmen. Some young people have completeC their training at Holbrook, taken advanced work, and gone out a

Bible studies being given in the hogans by students and teachers and religious services at the mission school are spreading the light of truth into the minds and hearts of the Navajo and other tribes. In order to continue meeting the calls to provide more Christian educational opportunities for the Ameri- can Indians within the Pacific Union, more funds are needed. The work must not be allowed to stand still. It must expand, and this means educational facilities at Navajo Mission School must be improved and increased to provide training for Indian young people who will vajo girl finish the work among their own people.

Of course that is a qualification for a soul winner in any vocation, but especially so in a profes- sional man. He has a unique position in the community, and if he has a second-rate reputation he can do the work a lot of harm. The graduates of the College of Medical Evangelists have a great advantage in that they have a medical education second to none in this country. However, a doctor can- not stop there. In order to be a good soul winner, a doctor must have high ethical stand- ards. However, I feel that a doctor needs especially to use tact in dealing with patients—tact in dealing with other doctors, too. This is a most im- portant thing. There are different meth- ods in reaching patients with the mes- sage without actually going out and preaching to them. The first of these is prayer. Prayer is the most potent weapon any Christian has. Prayer is a very wonderful psychological tool in the hand of a doctor in dealing with a patient who is ill or about to undergo surgery. Prayer places a doctor in con- tact with God who is the source of all power. This power is available to each individual by prayer and is for the benefit of the doctor as well as the patient. God is able to give us power. He is able to heal disease and broken Elder and Mrs. Paul 0. Campbell left last month for a European tour which includes bodies.
