The Other Sheep OCTOBER 1951 —“For their rock is not as our Rock . (Deut. 32:31) 'JpHis picture shows our Indian worker, Rev. Decker Yazzie, a full­ blood Navajo who is stationed at Low Mountain in northern Ari­ zona. The rock is supposed to be the image of a giant who lived long ago. Since they believe certain death will come to them before the day is over to punish them for going near it, the Navajos fear the awesome stone. Brother Yazzie tried to convince the people of the folly of believ- irig this old story and climbed on the rock. The day passed and nothing happened. The Indians were greatly puzzled. Then an old, wise man found the answer. He said, “The Chindee [the evil spirit | fears this man of God and he has no power over him." But he continued, “If I or someone else had done this, we would have died that same day.” Yes, this happened in the United States of America, not in a heathen land far away. Our poor, darkened Indian people need the message of our Lord. He saves from the power of the evil one. Thank God for the many who are finding Him. There is none holy as the Lord: for there is none beside thee: neither is there any rock like our God (I Samuel 2: 2).
