No Use Trying.

It’s no use trying to make a Christian of an Indian. It can’t be done. Now, here is Lola Scott, the converted Creek. He says that fifty years ago he used to paint himself up, and indulge in War dances, and go out on the war-path and scalp pale-faces and other hostiles, and was, to all intents and purposes, a bold, bad Indian, be the same more or less. Then he was converted, joined the church, took off his war-paint and feathers, buried the tomahawk, and. what has he done since then? Sold 300 sewing machines, and keeps on selling them! Give him back his bonarrera again.—Jß. J. Burdette.
