Preacher in Arizona

Religion in the saddle is reality in
Arizona. Many have heard of Rev. Frank

him in the distance travelled is Rev. II.
A. Thompson, delegated by the Presby-
terian Board of Missions to carry the
gospel into the hamlets of Central and
Southern Arizona.
Mr.. Thompson is young man, full of
health, vigor and enthusiasm in the
cause, yet gu ok to adapt himself to his

doubt that he who cheerfully accepts the
hospitality of miner or ranchman, does
not dsdain straight bacon ant black
coffee or homely pie by the fireside, is
far more able to carry to the masses the
word and the deed of righteousness than
he who sets himself forever on pinnacle
