Part 4

At the same time we made a few hymns in the native Clallam language--the first ever made in the language. A good share of the Indians understand English and sing some in it. All but a few of the very oldest understand the Chinook jargon, which I talk and in which we have a number of hymns. But they were anxious to have something in their own language and were much pleased with them. They consist mainly of the same sentiment as is contained in our songs of “Come to Jesus,” “Where are the Hebrew Children?” “I’m Going Home,” though a few are entirely different in meaning from any of our English songs.

The work here at S’kokomish has been more encouraging than last year. Five have united with us this year on profession of faith. The older Indians are taking more interest than heretofore, asking for extra meetings, and some of the younger ones who have been in school are helping very greatly in them, and in my absence taking charge of some of the meetings with entire acceptance to their older friends.
