Mr.. Young has an experience Of twenty
six years of missionary work among the
Hudson Bay Indians.

north of Canada held his hearers spellbOund
for nearly two hours. Among other things
he said:
In that far away land the Indians plant,
cultivate aud raise thirty bushels OF wheat
to the acre. They have comfortable homes
and 1t is not unusual to hear the sound
of an organ and the voice of an Indian
girl singing religious songs. Cooper, he
continued, has not overestimated the
cleverness of Indian guides. For weeks
they will walk through snow and ice, over
mountains and through woods, sometimes
going at night to keep from being made
snow blind. afn-1s-'7
The lecturers description of tie terrible
billiards. of the North. and the beauty OF
the auroras was grand.
