far. The Christians have cut down the brush and
removed the biggest rocks.
 Tomorrow we go to another station where I'll
probably again be the first one to drive in a long
time-or at least one of the few. I went there last
year on horseback. Saturday I will have a conference
with the preachers all morning. We have business
to take care of and I'm going to talk to them also on
the doctrine of the church (especially those points
in which we differ from some of the other missions
here). I'm really getting anxious to live up here so
that I can begin regular instruction for the preachers
and also begin working with the young people.
 I'll be driving back to P.-au-P. on Monday and
probably will have Lacombe [national preacher of
another mission] with me again-I brought him up
with me. I like him very much. He is really one
of the outstanding spiritual nationals. We had an
interesting talk coming up on several different sub-
jects. He speaks good English and spent six months
in the States. He believes that most of what we hear
about voodoo is true, as most of the Haitians (even
the educated ones) do. I personally think that about
90 per cent of it nothing but hokum, but I do believe
a small part of it is genuine-Lacombe might agree
with me on that, I don't know. I do believe that there
are people here who have sold themselves to the
devil and have supernatural powers to do things that
are almost unbelievable, but there aren't too many
of them-just as there aren't too many Christians
who are really sold out to the Lord.
 This morning in the service was a little girl who
is consecrated to the devil; her mother is a witch
doctor. The little girl's hair had never been cut, an
extremely rare thing for Haitians, and she had charms
around her neck. I wanted to get her picture but
couldn't.
