LETTER FROM ARIZONA. ? , (htwih sekml mi imim ?r? WllW K? * Omjm-IMm If HIh Bawl* Mill. Koam'a Canyon, Arizona, April 15, 1608. Daat Jaaaio: Having written to you all along my route, and of my arrival here, wbicn latUM V innnmt von hiv* ramlvad. T wlS now tefi you something of bow I Am rimted bore, and of Koua'a Canyon. I have been bera only a little over two weeks, though of course it seems much longer to me. I am getting so* customed to everything very feet, except the climate. I goees it will take me mmm time to beoome acclimated; I feel the oold wind much acre than these who hare lived here some time and the attitude Is so much greater than that of Booth Carolina that I have an uncomfortable feeling about my throat and chest, and a difficulty in breathing. This canyon is 6,700 feet above tbe sea IriL It took its name from an Englishman of ths name of Keam, who came here some years ego, and tookpossasslnnof it by virtuejof what to known as "The ttquattcrs went*." He followed the business of anIndian tractor for tevtrtl yean, when he died, and a brother came over and took np htodaim. When the government set apart a i? fllnu In this section of Arlaona for the Moqui Indiana, thia can von wan inelnded within its boundaries, and Mr. Keen was paid ten thousand dollars and given one hundred and eighty aoree of land further down the canyon for bto claim. 80 von see Arizona sand and rocks 00me nigh some times, even thoogh It may scarcely produce ilstiHon sufficient to feed a burro. Thto, the Moqui Training School, was established about fifteen yean ago. It to the only boarding school in tbe reservation, hot there are three dsy The school building* are scattered along both atdaaof a street or road, and ride walks hordarsd with a thick row of eollOB wood trees extend about Ave hundred yards up the canyon. As there are always Indiana ooming and going, nod traders or workmen eomlng to the poat office, It preasnta the agpearanee of a small village. We have a money order poet office and something over one thousand dollar* waa sent oat last month In post offioe octal. Every thing has to be ordered from a dlatsnas by the employees, so every oae has eatakgnee of some lance furnishing houees in Northern, Wee tern ee Eastern cities. The government tarnishes all supImi ika MkkjwJ knf an aasinln la |MXW IVI UIV PWWI| VMV Ml WMivnyw w not allowed to buy even a yard or call* float the school store. This canyon Is about two bond red yards wide at this point and tbs rock wails, or smsbs as tasy ars called, are ftaa oes hoDdrod to one hundred and fifty test psrpsotiiealsr. Gold, oner water which comes from under tbs rock walls of tbs canyon, Is floarsysd through pipssall through the school ground*. It is plsssant to tbs tatfsi but so hard, It Is very dkapisa bis to the skin. Tbs sty Is of architecture of our piessat sAool buildings is not vav prepoessastaf and the buildings are In rather a dilapidated condition?the gorcrnmsnt not serine to szpsnd any mors oa tbsm than Is absolutely nseesssry to aaks tbsm habitable, ss they will . soon bs vncatsd. Most of tbem ars ton* one story buildings, aiade of rough rock, plss> tsted Inside and out, covered with thi and built so as to form two tbiessMsd hollow squares fronting on the mad or street and having the rear lines sf the square formed by the perpendle Ineide of ooe of the open oourte the bm dlnlDf room and kitchen an alt* neled, end u the other la the girls dormitory. We are rather crowded now for room as there wae a Hie on the 17th of Karah last whleh destroyed flee roems; bat we hopeeoon to move Into ear saw buildings about one and a half mike father down the osnjon, where wa will have all the modern oonvenienass of a ci ty school. Oar new plant will oost the government about one hundred thousand dollars. The buildings will be lighted by eteetrteky, steam heated, hot and oold water, eta. ' Tbare are three large two-story MMIm with basements; a laundry, eleetric power bouae, store bouae, dootor*a and auparintendent'a cottages, tables, 4c:, all built of a kind of gray stone, quarried right in the canyon. Ourooal la minsd within sight of the new buildtnn. Cedar la the only kind of wood we nave to born. There are about one haadred and eighty boya and girla at thk achool, raaglag In age from four to eighteen veasa. The teachers and otber em ploy?, (white), nwnber sixteen, and there we seven Indiana, four policemen, one Interpreter, end en Mela tent In Cm kitchen and In the leui* y.

The following communication, written by Alexander Beck, which appeared in the Atlanta Evening News, of April 21st, is so in accord with my ideas on this subject that I have asked Editor Wilsou as a favour tome and also to the hundreds of others who read his paper and bold to the same views,that be reprint JLwbicb be kindly consents to do. W. H. M. "All men wbo love God and humanity are frequently nhocked aud pained at the cruel things preachers nv God is troinir to do or uermit a devil to do to sinners. They charge God with doiog things that would outrage every sense of Justice amJ right if done by a roan, and yet they say God is better thau man. Recently I heard a preacher in hit pulpit say that he had visited a large apartment stofe by invitation of the proprietor, and that as be walked through the various apartments and saw the many clerks selling goods, he thought of the immense apartment business carried on by the devil. In bis mind's eye he saw this great dealerin human merchandise sleeplesly directing bis business through his vast army of clerks and agents. Acoordlug to this preaober, a majority of men and women in all walks of lire are clerking for the devil in some one of his apartments. He did not speak one word of love or sympathy for these poor clerks. His sermon was lurid, and you could see the venom flash from bio eyes as he declared these olerks of the devil (poor, weak human hAlnoat riaurvwl unit would receive endless punishment. "How any man with love In his heart could get such gloomy and black thoughts from walking through an apartment store with many clerks, men and women, making an honest living selling their warew to those who need them, is pa?t my understanding. To put it charitably, such thoughts must have come from an unsound mind. "If snch preachers bad the spirit of the great Muter, who ate and drank with sinners, and went about doing good, they would tell their church members that these so-called clerks of the devil were their brothers and isters, and children of God, made in His own Image, and that they should go among them and loveingly put their arms about tbem, and lead and help them to a better way. If a God of love and the brotherhood of man was the burden of their sermons, they wouiu nave men nooning ui u?i tbem and to join their churches. But alas! tbey preach woe and black despair for moat men. "If what they preach be true, then I charge tbem with neglect of duty ; yea, endless murder. They preach stereotyped sermons twice a week and then go to their comfortable homes, eat good dinners, smoke good cigars, and sometimes tell jokes while their fellowmen are daily dying, andi, aroording to them, going to an endleaa bell. If what they say is the destiny of most men, then tbey ?bould never close their churches, day or night, but should preach continuously until tbey dropped exhausted, then they should have other preacbera ready to take their places. They ahould go out into the 'highways and hedges' and compel men to be saved. "If what they preach be true. It would be a merciful act to strangle every babe at birth and let It wlog ita " 1 * * -?a mgDi 10 neaveu, iuu iuua uub iuuh tbe Nupply of fuel for (be fires of bell. "I am persuaded that tbe preachers don't believe Ibelr own story, for if tbey did, tbey could never smile again with love and sympvthy for bumsn sufferings. I am thankful that the destiny of man is not In tbe hands of preachers, but in tbe bands Ood who made them and who was pleased to make them weak and to surround tbem with difficulties, for wise and beneficient reasons. "Ob, our Father! Thou who art love, breathe into tbe hearts of preachers Thy love that tbey may proclaim it unto men who are hungering and thirsting for love and brotherly kindness." Abbeville, 8.
