Chapter DI: Tapi'o? (1)

BY REV. C. L. HALL.

We reached the Missouri at dark. A heavy gale tossed the water and whirled the sand. Can any one hear across the water, or are we to spend the October night in the timber? The Lord had provided for His work. A dark figure appeared on the bluff against the fading light. "Di tapi'o?" is the call across (Who are you?). "Ho-washte" (I am Good Voice) is the reply. The figure, like the man of Macedonia; the reply, "a voice crying in the wilderness." The man was Good Bird. He had come out, expecting his wife, and found us.

The wind had sunk the flat-boat, and our horse had to wait in the brush till morning. I cared for him, while the carpenter and Good Bird crossed. Two other Indians came for me. The wind lulled and the dark flood flowed silently. Their leaky skiff was plugged with mud. One rowed, the other watched in the shadows for the landing. I bailed with a tin can. The current swung us in, and we lugged our tools and provisions and bedding up a sand slide, and slept in the "Independence Station" log house.

We had made several visits during the summer. Once the whole family stayed a week. We won the affections of Mrs. Pedi'tska-Kadi'shta (Little Crow), so that she paddled Mrs. Hall over in her hide "bull-boat," on our return, for twenty-five cents.

Then our trained nurse left her hospital room and visiting work at Fort Berthold and kept up the routine, and also treated about twenty patients among these Mandans.

This time we had come to finish the house for winter, before the lady missionary's return from her vacation. Four women plastered outside with a mixture of mud and dry grass. This is woman's part of house-building here, I was laborer and cook and preacher for three days, and then left the carpenter plastering inside.

The Mandans are friendly, but much behind our Rees at Fort Berthold. Dead bodies in rough boxes lie on the ground on a knoll not far from our house, and near by is an old-style earth lodge.

At Christmas we had more than 125 people out. A cedar tree hung full of presents. All had a good meal, except plates, which some were not very familiar with. A crowd of big men reached out eagerly for the luxury of red apples.

MOODY STATION, NO. 1 (INDEPENDENCE).]

This station is named for Mr. Moody, who gave money to start it. The place is a hill in the midst of a valley independent of the bluffs on either side and so Awatahesh--Independence.

Mr. A. P. Nichols, of Haverhill, Mass., kindly offered $200 if we would reopen the station. We have done so, trusting to our friends for $300 more for the year. The work is yet in the dough, but the yeast is in and it is rising.

Our Elbowoods station began far out in the wilderness in a log house like the Independence meeting-house. The Government, after several years, planted its central agency by our station and so brought many under our influence. Now we have a new dwelling, with a chapel attached, and the congregation have raised $130 toward the expense.

MOODY STATION, NO. 2 (ELBOWOODS).]

These stations are the spokes of which the Fort Berthold boarding-school and hospital and church work are the hub. Every hub must have spokes--as here. If you rim the whole with some of your silver or gold, and bolt it on with prayer the whole work will roll on.

Di tapi'o? Indians, and whites too, some gladly others uneasily, are finding out who we are--you dear friends of the churches and we here together--a power for righteousness from and by the King.

THANKSGIVING DAY.--Rev. C. L. Hall gives us the following interesting glimpse of Thanksgiving in a prairie mission school:

"We are to have a church dinner on Thanksgiving (Shak-s-shte-hun), for which the church have collected produce and money, so that there will be a large thank offering to the Lord, all paid up, not subscribed. Mrs. Black Rabbit and Mrs. Crow and Mrs. Two Bears and Cedar Woman are on the committee to help cook and prepare dinner. There are rabbits and geese and beef to cook, which is cooked and which cook you can decide.

Clear moonlight on the snow, mild but no thaw, fine sledding. It was a good night to come home from prayer meeting at Deacon Many-bears."

BUSY DAY OF AN INDIAN MISSIONARY.--Rev. Myron Eells, our missionary at S'kokomish, Washington, writes:

"Last Sabbath my work was as follows, though it was a little extra: Superintended the Sunday-school at the Agency at 9:30; 57 present. Taught a Sunday-school class. Preached at the same place at 11, then was on my horse in a few minutes, and at 12:05 was a mile distant and preached to the Indians. Then rode four miles to John's Creek and preached to a small congregation of whites in English at 3:00 P.M., eating my lunch as I rode along. Came home by six o'clock, and at seven o'clock went in for half an hour to the Christian Endeavor meeting."

A THANK OFFERING.--Miss Collins, of Fort Yates, N. D., in writing of the Indian work at her mission, says:

"Last night there was a New Year's meeting, and they took up a 'Thank Offering' because God had been so good the past year, and they handed me ten dollars this morning for the native missionary society, and they pledged ten more. Pretty substantial way to show gratitude to God! Oh if our churches would come to the help of our American Missionary Association in so liberal a way, what might we not do for Christ this year!"

The Chinese.

THE WATSONVILLE MISSION.

BY REV. W. C. POND, D.D.

This work was begun about two years ago as an experiment, the teacher, Mrs. Martha Ellis, giving her services without expense to us for several months, till it became apparent that the field was one we ought to occupy. She is an earnest Christian and is putting her very life-blood into this service for Christ and the souls he died to save. With her has been associated from the first Mr. Joe Dun, a most faithful and efficient helper. He was converted in our Marysville Mission, and has been a steadfast Christian for many years. He accepts less than half pay in these times of straitness, and tries to eke out a support for himself and those dependent upon him by attention to business in a small and, I fear, far from lucrative way, but gives his _heart_ to mission work. I feel guilty every time I make a remittance to Watsonville because the pittance we allow him is so small as compared with the work he does. But he and the zealous teacher have other rewards far richer than coin.

I reached the Mission House at about 2:30 P.M. Mrs. Ellis's afternoon class of children was just being dismissed. But it seems they had heard about me, and were glad to come to order again, and get acquainted with me and let me hear them sing. It was a sight I never looked upon before, and did not expect to see in California till we had come much nearer the millennium than I dare think we now are. Nine children stood in line before me--three of them Americans, three Chinese, and three Spanish or Mexican. The whole class numbers sixteen, the absent ones being five Spanish children and two Jewish ones. They sang for me, with great vigor and quite good harmony, "Jesus Loves Me," "Precious Jewels," and "At the Cross." Books were not needed. The words were packed away in their memory, where they will remain to bless--as we hope and pray--their whole lives.

After the children had gone, eleven Chinese brethren gathered about the table to study with me the Confession of Faith and Covenant of Bethany Church, San Francisco, with reference to being organized into the BETHANY CHURCH OF WATSONVILLE. About three hours I spent with them holding them to close study of that which they would profess and promise if they were united in Church relationship. They were of various ages and various grades of intelligence, but I felt that Christ had refused none of them, and I must not do so. Hum Quong was converted in Marysville five years before, but had not till now had opportunity--since he was sufficiently confirmed in his discipleship to do so--to offer himself for baptism. He had become well versed in Christian truth, and was able to interpret for me, and to assist his brethren, almost as well as Joe Dun himself. The others were, all of them, the fruit of our Watsonville work. One had been in California 25 years, but had attended mission-school nowhere except in Watsonville. He was a substantial looking man, a good miniature of a New England deacon of the old school but for his complexion and attire. I was rather pleased--having made such reflections silently--to hear him nominated by several voices and to see him unanimously elected their only deacon. His name is Ng Kite.

It was a scene that interested the angels, I am sure, when in our rude little mission-house, in the presence of a goodly company both of Chinese and Americans, those twelve disciples stood together, hand in hand, and accepted their confession and covenant. Eleven were Chinese; one, their teacher, was an American. Ten were baptized--the largest number of Chinese that I have ever baptized at one time.

Some, at least, of the village pastors, and a large company of other Christians--too large for our limited space--would have been with us but for the fact that Union Evangelistic services were in progress and they felt it necessary to attend and take part in them.

Is it not worth while to maintain in vigor a work like this?

SANTA CRUZ MISSION.

Of this mission Dr. Pond writes: I give you an opportunity to share my joy by inclosing the letter from Mrs. Hall, our teacher at Santa Cruz. She has been for three months teaching a class of Japanese after her teaching in the Chinese school is ended; that is after nine o'clock in the evening--often not beginning till nearly ten. The two schools are now happily united at our Chinese Mission House:

LETTER FROM MRS. KATE V. HALL.

"My heart is filled with gladness this New Year, and I am sure that
the tidings I send you will make you happy also. Four Japanese and
two Chinese have given their hearts to the Lord in the past month;
two Japanese and two Chinese will receive baptism Sunday, and the
other two Japanese will wait till the following Communion, as they
wish to study the Bible more. I am satisfied to have them wait, if
they wish, as I want them to have all doubts cleared away.

"I will not send a report for the Japanese, as they came into the
Chinese Mission three nights ago. I am so glad they were willing to
attend the Chinese school, as my work at the Chinese Mission is
growing each night, and often when I reached the Japanese school I
was so hoarse I could hardly speak, so now, by remaining a half hour
later, I will be able to do the same amount of work without hurrying
so. I feel that the Lord has fully repaid me for my labor at the
Japanese school."
