Chapter 3

Spotted Bear, who is the native teacher and preacher at Northfield Station, has gone to work with earnestness and enthusiasm. Here is a large community, perhaps fifty houses, heathen to the core. Reuben Quick Bear, a Carlisle student, lives here. Beyond him few know anything of Christianity. Spotted Bear has an evening school of twenty or more young men. He teaches Dakota, and as much English as he can. A few can read. These he puts into a Bible class. The New Testament is the text book. On Sunday he holds two or three services, and the house is always full. A larger room is needed at once. To build this will be my first spring work. The value of just such work as this cannot be overestimated. Spotted Bear himself got his education in just such a school. As soon as Mrs. Ellen Spotted Bear had given me a supper, cooked as carefully and nicely as any woman could, and served on neat dishes, figured, and with plated knives, forks and spoons, Spotted Bear asks me for the _Iapi Oaye_--the news and religious paper published in Dakota. He opens the paper and he and his wife read it. One item of news is the change of Government in Brazil. He asks me just where Brazil is; why they change the Government. He reads of the fire in Boston and Lynn. He inquires where Lynn is. Being a Congregationalist he knows Boston as a Jew knows Jerusalem and a Mohammedan knows Mecca. Then he reads the church and Y.M.C.A. news.

Here is a man, who by his life is denying what nine out of every ten men in the United States are saying: "It is no use to work among the adult Indians." He was twenty-five and over before he commenced study of any kind. He is now a citizen, Republican, Prohibitionist, church officer, teacher, preacher, all of which require a fair amount of intelligence and information.

His work, too, is invaluable if the aim is to change the Indian to an American citizen. In this village this one room only is the opening to civilization. Some of the young men are tired of Indian ways. They think the dance is something that ought to be thrown away. These young men now have a place to spend their evenings, beyond the dance house. These houses and native helpers break down more superstition and Indian life than any other influence on the reservation. In the matter of dress it is the same. Here is an Indian woman who is not ashamed to wear a dress like a white woman. The teachers in the day schools complain that they cannot get the girls to wear the civilized dress when they leave school. And Indian dresses mean Indian dirt and carelessness. One Indian woman advocating "dress reform" by example, will do more than any teacher on the reservation.

From Black Pipe I go to Park Street Church Station. Here I have a road of twenty-five miles and not a mile of snow. Instead of a four hour drive I have ten hours of dragging along. But the end comes at last.

At Park Street Station considerable progress is made. The school attendance is more regular. The children are cleaner; they wash their faces and comb their hair more frequently. They take more interest in study. The older ones, too, are picking up reading. In two houses I found children teaching their parents to read.

The Christians here are holding on and others are coming to their side. Some have reached the second stage of Christian life. The first is leaving their heathen ways and accepting Christianity. The second is giving testimony in public. Wherever you go young Christians give the same testimony. In Jerry McAuley's mission in New York, testimony like this was given: "Boys, ye knowed me. I used to drink and fight and beat my wife and spend all my wages for liquor. It ain't so now; I've got Jesus, we're pals now. D'ye see this coat? I bought it--it's new. I didn't buy it at Uncle's. There's my wife, she smiles, now we're happy, this is the right way." Two young men gave testimony like this: "My friends, you all know me. I used to dance and paint. I am a Dakota. I have thrown these things away. I have my hair cut, I don't paint. I have given the dance up. I believe in God, I believe in Jesus my Saviour, I want you to know God and Jesus, I want you to be his children. It is hard for me to talk to you; but I know this is the right way; it is God's way."

The school-room is open every evening in the week. A substitute is offered for the dance and heathen amusements. If the work is slow it is sure. When a young man gives up the dance, paint, long hair, right at his home, it costs something, and because it costs something he puts some value upon it.

After spending ten days at Park Street, I started back in the deep snow and coldest weather of winter. In one place I spent almost seven hours going thirteen miles. And right in sight of home about ten o'clock at night I ran into an enormous drift. The horses sank almost out of sight, and then I had to work. But after an hour of tramping snow and pulling out with a rope I was on the road again and soon at home. Such is missionary work at this season of the year.

THE CHINESE.

OUR CHINESE WORK.

BY DISTRICT SECRETARY J.E. ROY.

I have visited a dozen of our sixteen missions on this coast. I have seen them in their night schools, in their Sunday-schools and on their anniversary occasions. I have taught in some of the classes; I have spoken, through an interpreter, to many of them, I am only confirmed in the admiration in which we have always held the administration of our Superintendent, Rev. W.C. Pond, D.D., who adds this abounding service to that of a city church in San Francisco, the Bethany. As he was upon his annual tour of inspection in Southern California, I met him at San Diego, the anniversary of whose mission at that time in the Tabernacle of the First Church I have already reported in the MISSIONARY. On that tour, he held four or five anniversaries, dedicating a new chapel at Riverside, setting in order the things that were wanting and doing the cognate work which only his practised eye saw needing to be done. Everywhere, confided in by the churches and looked up to affectionately by the Chinese, his coming is always anticipated with pleasure.

I am delighted with the way in which our pastors and churches where these missions are located are taking them under their own watch-care. It is not simply to entrust the work to the California Chinese Mission and to the American Missionary Association to which it is an auxiliary, but it is to take the Chinese Sunday-schools into their own Sunday-school rooms, to furnish teachers for the same, along with the lady missionaries and native helpers, to receive the converted ones into church membership, and to recognize the local work as their own. These Christians seem to realize that whatever views may be held as to the political economy of exclusion, the duty is clear as to the evangelization of these whom God has brought to their doors. And this is not only for the sake of these, but for the sake also of China, to which land so many of them are now returning.

I am satisfied with the soundness of the work accomplished by this process in Christianizing these who had known the true God. I heard one man denying all such result and appealing to Dr. Pond. His answer was that if it were not so, the fault was in the character of the Christ himself, so profoundly persuaded was he that some of these had taken on his spirit and character. One of the most intellectual of these men was one whom Dr. Pond characterized to me as "a saintly person." The number of seven hundred and fifty hopefully transferred from Confucius to Christ in these missions, is a most gratifying result. The work of the Baptists, the Presbyterians and the Methodists, is also of the same encouragement.

I am profoundly grateful to God for the women who have addicted themselves to this most self-denying of work for the Master's sake. As always in such cases, they are most happy in their work. They see such progress, such result in character, that they rejoice in their privilege of service. One of these pastors declared to me that for a long time he had counted these women as his "evidences of Christianity."

The missionary zeal of these young brethren is most gratifying. Besides the furnishing of $860 toward the mission of the American Board at Hong Kong, under Rev. Mr. Hagar, they have started their own missionary society here to operate in a self-supporting way in China under the advice and assistance of Mr. Hagar. To this end they have sent the brother Joe Jet over with $1,400 in hand to start the work. He is to be one of a committee of three over there to direct the same. They have also in hand enough to bring that sum up to $2,000. They are to build a chapel, to open free schools and start out evangelists. They will send out a missionary physician, educated after the American way, to accompany the preacher, and two wealthy Chinamen there furnish the means to support the doctor and supply the medicine.

NOTICE OF MEETING OF STATE UNIONS.

An all-day meeting of the Woman's State Home Missionary Organizations will be held in the Congregational Church at Saratoga, Tuesday, June 3. The morning session will open at 9:45. This session is for State officers only. It will be devoted to the transaction of business and the discussion of methods of work. The committee appointed at the meeting last June to consider the question of a National Advisory Committee will present their report and the subject will be fully discussed.

A cordial invitation is extended to all women interested in Homeland Work to attend the afternoon session, which will open at two o'clock. Papers upon subjects of vital importance to the work will be presented by women from different States. The session will close with a consecration service. It is hoped to make this meeting helpful and inspiring, as all the others have been.

A YOUNG COLORED GIRL sought admission into one of our boarding schools, bringing commendations as to her character. She was received, and an appropriation was made from the Hand Fund to assist her in her effort to secure an education. The letter below will explain itself. It gives an insight of the kindliness of many noble people South toward the Negro. It also reveals an attitude of mind toward our work in the South which quite disproves the idea that good people of the South are not in sympathy with our work. The cases are exceptional where the schools and the churches of the American Missionary Association have not won both confidence and gratitude from the intelligent and good among the white people. This letter is but one expression among many, of the good will that comes to us as unsolicited testimony to our work. The position and character of the lady who sent the letter to one of our teachers makes this graphic and pleasing testimony more valuable.

DEAR MADAME:--I have seen several letters from your pupil A---- B----, in which she speaks in the highest terms of you, of your generous kindness and uniform courtesy to her. I am glad A---- has met with such a wise lady, for she is in every way deserving of your good will. She lived with me for seven years, and I never saw any person more competent, more honest and upright. In all that time I never found fault with any work she did for me, and she was as neat in her dress as she was morally particular. Her family is in every way respected here by white as well as black, and A---- has always been a favorite with all classes of people. I am a Southern woman, and before the war my father was a planter who owned six hundred slaves and enormous tracts of land. I merely mention this to explain to you what follows. None of us have ever had any prejudice against colored people, and we try to help them with purse and pen, and have always met with gratitude and respect in return. Of course these people are all freed now, but my sister and I still own a great deal of real estate, and upon it will be found many families of colored people who were our slaves. You will see from this insight into my affairs that I am glad to know of the success of colored people, and I wish it was so they could all go to school and be educated, for as a rule, where they _have been_ educated, they have done well. Wishing you great success, and with personal regards and thanks for your kindness to A----.

Very truly yours, A.C.H.
