Several Hindu temples are
near us. They are located in
groves or on mountain tops, are
rude stone structures, and have
idols in them, but no priests.
One of them has seven stone al­
tars, each made of a single block
of stone and resting on stone
posts some eighteen inches in
height. On a visit to one of the
temples I found a quantity of
blood, indicating a recent sacri­
fice. There is also near us a
rock formation which the Indi­
ans believe to be a petrified
snake. The snake is a sacred
animal and pilgrims come from
a long distance to pray to this
snake. Women who desire child­
ren pray to a snake.
Not long ago a servant of one
of the Y. W. C. A. missionaries
was converted. Soon after his
conversion his baby died and a
little later another baby died in
the same house. At once the
relatives and neighbors raised
the cry that these deaths came
as a punishment from the gods,
because the man had become a
Christian. They told him that
he must get a goat and sacrifice
to the gods and that he must not
return to work for a Christian
woman. The man got the goat,
but he returned to work, and th e !
missionary says she thinks his
faith is still unshaken and that
he got the goat merely to keep
s the peace.
Several wedding processions
have passed our house this sum­
mer. In all the wedding proces­
sions that I have seen in India I
have never seen a bride that
seemed to be more than ten years
of age. The bridegrooms may
be of any age. As widows do
not remarry, widowers marry
girls who are at the most not
over twelve years of age, because
it is a great disgrace for a girl
not to be married by the time
she is twelve. I think you can
imagine the unspeakable agony
resulting from such a system.
Indian Christians do not practice
child marriage, and Christian
widows remarry. Surely if Chris­
tianity did no more than emanci­
pate womankind, all of our mon­
ey for missions would be well
spent. Many an Indian woman
is a grandmother by the time she
is twenty-five years of age. I
have seen the child of a twelve-1
year-old mother. It is pictur­
esque to see a child bride, but it
makes one’s blood run cold to
think what goes on behind the
walls of the genanas.
School opens on the 13th of
July so I will soon be at work
again. I have had letters from
several of my Indian students
during the summer and I shall
be glad to see them again. I do
diead the heat. .This week they
have had a maximum 107 de­
grees F. in the shade and a min­
imum of 88.9 degrees F. Think
of a temperature of 90 degrees
F. in the coolest part of the
night. Rain is overdue and if it
doesn’t come before long we will
be threatened with famine. Rain
will lower the temperature,* but
still people play tennis with the
sweat running into their shoes.
It has been pleasant here at Al-
mora—68 to 72 degrees.
Sincerely your friend, . j

ORENCO TREES ARE REALLY CHEAP
Some trees appear cheap, but are really expensive.
Other trees appear expensive, but are really cheap. You
cannot buy high-grade, productive land for the same price
as poor land sells for.
•
You cannot buy Oak lumber for the same price as Fir
lumber.
It is Quality in Trees that Counts.
We grow our own trees in our 1200-acre nursery. Our
land was selected specifically for nursery purposes. It pro­
duces the very choicest type of trees possible to obtain any­
where, with stalwart tops, strong fibrous roots; in short,
strictly first-class, sound, healthy, fully matured trees.
There are none better grown, and they are Really Cheap;
because they are such as will “ Make Good.”
If you need any N. Y. Pippin, Spitzenberg, Winesap,
Rome Beauty, McIntosh Red, Jonathan or any other com­
mercial or home variety, just drop us a line stating your re­
quirements.
We also have some of the best peach trees in Early
Crawford, Elberta, Foster, Fitzgerald, Gillingham and other
good varieties we have eyer grown.
If you want Peach Trees, you can’t get better.
Don’t Delay Ordering Too Long.
