Former Medicine Man Is Navajo VOP Speaker Mrs. Mason saw in him just the man she felt God could use at Monument Valley. The first thing she did was to have Tom paint their home, though it didn't need painting. Later, she persuaded the contractor to have Tom do some painting on the hos- pital. All the while Mrs. Mason was studying the Bible with him. He was deeply interested in the prophecies of the Bible. "When we began to study about the Sabbath, Tom would just shy away," Mrs. Mason remembers. "I would have the Sabbath lesson all ready for him, but he would have so many questions that he would go all around the Sabbath." On the day Mrs. Mason was going to present Daniel 7 to Tom she went to every home in the mission, saying "This is the day. Pray right now. I Tom Holliday, a former medicine man, confers with Mrs. Lloyd Mason, Monument Valley am going to start at a certain hour, Mission, and Elder Wayne Hooper of the Voice of Prophecy concerning a new broadcast in and pray that Tom will accept the the Navajo language.

When Tom came to the hospital, (Continued on page 3) Tom was turned to Christ by a godly Presbyterian minister. His neighbor was a trader named Ed Smith. After Tom's conversion, Ed Smith remarked: "If I should never see another Christian in the world, I would know there is a miraculous power in Jesus Christ by looking at the life of Tom Holliday. He was the worst Navajo I ever saw in my life. There wasn't anything that fellow wouldn't do! We were afraid of him. But the change that has come into his life is a miracle of God!" The new convert found inconsis- tencies in the church he had joined and one day said to himself: "This isn't for me." He attended another church, but was still dissatisfied. He finally decided to establish a little church of his own. Now enters another family that has had a strong influence for good. These workers for God are Dr. and Mrs. Lloyd Mason. They lived in Bishop, Calif., where Dr. Mason had a busy practice. But, hearing the call of God, they moved to Monument Valley in 1957.
