NEWS FROM ARIZONA

During our recent trip to the
northern part of the State we
had the privilege of visiting
for a few minutes with our for
mer school teacher, Miss Nora
Turner, who was visiting with
Mr.. and Mrs. Harold Jordan.
The Jordan family lives in
Prescott, a small city to the
north located in the cooler
country, being at about 5000
feet altitude. We are remind
ed of the blessing that was
ours in attending the Zion
Schools where the Bible was
the main textbook. What
contrast with the present sys-
tenn of making unlawful the
very reading of the Bible to the
school children, that is, those
in some state schools.
