Alaslca. The work is conducted under the general supervision of the Right Rev. Dr. Rowe, with the assistance of his band of missionaries. Point Hope, the most north- ern station within the Missionary District, is in charge of Dr. Driggs, Missionary Physi- cian, who, as lay-reader, ministers to the spiritual as well as to the physical needs of the natives in that ice-clad country. The mission services are maintained with usual interest and the Sunday and day-school doing as well as can be expected. For the past two sea- sons there has been an influx of whalemen, who have located four new whaling stations at various places on Point Hope and a fifth at Kivalinya, seventy-five miles distant. Dr, Driggs was called upon last spring to attend four cases of scurvy that had developed at one of these stations. He also had under his care a man with a fractured clavicle, caused from falling oflE an iceberg. At Anvik and in the Chageluk villages the work continues in charge of the Rev. J. W. Chapman, assisted by Messrs. E. M. Van Note and Isaac Fisher, and the Misses Sabine and Proebstel. Mr. Chapman reports having visited the Chageluk slough, where some progress has been made, as evinced by the interest taken in two of the villages to secure and maintain the services of the Church. Mr. Van Note took a party of three native young men into the Chageluk villages, where for six weeks they taught the Commandments and the Gospel narrative in all but one of the villages, where a Roman Priest was already at work. They found the people responsive. On November 22d, the new school-room at Anvik was opened, and during the whole winter it was used for the daily service, as well as for the school. The upper story was used as a dormitory. On November 29th, the new chapel at St. Paul, on the Chageluk slough, was begun. The walls were put up as high as the eaves, and, for want of suflS- cient material, the work was suspended until spring, when the flooring was sawed out. This work was done by the voluntary labor of the people of those villages. Miss Sabine and Miss Proebstel have charge of the girls’ school at Anvik. The school opened in Sep- tember, 1897, with a roll of thirty-nine, which increased to forty-five. At the end of May, 1898, the total attendance for the year was 4,531, an average of about twenty-four. Before Christmas it increased from thirty to thirty-five, but as spring approached it greatly lessened. The progress of the pupils has been satisfactory. There have been ten baptisms, all of infants, two persons confirmed, ten married, and six deaths. Daily ser- vices have been kept up with few interruptions. Holy Communion has been celebrated monthly and on greater festivals, and once privately. Meetings of the Woman’s Auxil- iary and the Junior Auxiliary and of the Brotherhood of St. Andrew have been regularly maintained during the winter. It will be remembered that the buildings at Anvik be- longing to the mission consist of Christ Church, a dwelling-house, two school-houses, a saw-mill, a store-house, a laundry and two small cabins. Mr. Chapman reports that the past year has been a broken one, and in many respects a disappointing one. There has been much sickness at the station and considerable sufifering. A neighboring physi- cian, Dr. Martin Burns, has rendered valuable service to the mission during the winter. In the boarding-school in charge of Miss Sabine there have been ten pupils, of whom 2 3 seven continued up to the date of report, four being orphans. The day-school has been maintained during the winter, but with a smaller average attendance than the previous year. The expense of maintaining the school has been about $1,000. It has been a year of very high prices throughout all Alaska. An addition to the girls’ school house was completed on November 16th, thus giving larger accommodations. The native teacher, Isaac Fisher, has been very faithful and helpful in every way during the year, and has ex- plained the Gospel for the day to a class of grown persons. Services have been maintained as usual, though the attendance has been fluctuating. Miss Sabine has been most dili- gent in teaching and visiting the people, going into their houses daily in the effort to keep alive the interest of the young women in the teaching they have received. Miss Proeb- stel has passed thn ugh a most difficult “ flrst year,” with continually increasing interest and marked success. At Fort Adams, Mr. A. A. Selden, lay-missionary, reports that last winter the school went on without intermission, and so pleased were the Indians with the result of its work that, at Christmas, they made an offering of skins, meat, moccasins, etc., amounting to $138. The mission had the advantage of having the Rev. Mr. Westley in the neigh- borhood last winter, who proved helpful in administering the Holy Communion at times, baptizing children, and in other ways comforting the missionary flock in the wilderness. Last winter Mr. Selden made two trips to Rampart, a distance of eighty miles, to look after the interests of the Church and hold service. The following are the statistics for the station; Services, Indian, 48; white, 15; baptisms, 27; marriages, 11; cele- brations, 2; days of school, 70; average attendance, 38; contributions in kind: For school needs, $125.50; for the poor, .$252.50; total, $378. At Ketchikan, an Indian village inhabited by Thlinkits, there is a school-house which is used for a chapel as well as for the day-school. Four acres of land have been given to the mission upon which to erect a chapel, school-house, mission-house, and hospital. Miss Agnes Edmond, a communicant of St. Paul’s Church,Tacoma, has gratuitously given her services in conducting the school work at Ketchikan. She teaches four hours daily, the school numbering thirty-seven Indian children. The Rev. A. J. Campbell, m.d., re- signed his appointment September 30th, 1898, and died soon after. On Prince- of- Wales island is located the old village of the Hydah Indians, who are anxious for a mission sta- tion at their place, and have requested Miss Edmond to come and live amongst them, and to give their children the benefits of her instruction. Bishop Rowe, however, feels that he cannot spare Miss Edmonds from her work at Ketchikan until a missionary is centred there. The mission at Fort Yukon for the past two years has been under the charge of the Rev. J, Hawksley, but he has lately been obliged to leave and go to the help of Bishop Bompas. It is an important Indian centre for missionary work. The Indians of Gen- du-Large, Rampart House, Beaver Creek, the Ratband and Fort Yukon all congregate at that place. There is a small log mission house at the station that is used for school pur- poses and also for Church services. The Rev. L. J. H. Wooden has been assigned to duty there, and will begin by September 1st. Mr, William Loola, native reader, is doing good work. Mr. Prevost carries on an occasional work at Port Hamlin, an Indian village about midway between Fort Yukon and Circle City. The Indians, some of whom are mutes, are baptized Churchpeople. Work among the Indians is also continued in Circle City under Dr. J. L. Watt, assisted by Mr. Joseph Kwulwul. Arizona. Under Bishop Kendrick, the missionary work is prosecuted among the Navajo Indians at Fort Defiance, which the Bishop reports is flourishing. The hospital at Fort Defiance is now fairly well equipped and is beginning to do its work. Miss Thackara, the superintendent, is no longer alone, but has with her a physician, a nurse, 4 and a teacher. The Indians are becoming interested, and are coming in for treatment. Hostility and prejudice are disappearing. An adult and two children have been baptized among the Indians during the year. Boise. Under the Right Rev. Dr. Funsten, the work among the Indians is conducted in three reservations. At Fort Hall, in Idaho, the Bishop will assume the work formerly carried on by the Connecticut Indian Association, and take over the mission buildings and a farm of 160 acres. At the Shoshone reservation, in Wyoming, is located our school for Indians, under the care of the Rev. John Roberts. Attached to this mission is a beautiful farm of 160 acres, well stocked. During the Bishop’s visit at that station he preached, through an interpreter, to the Shoshones and Arapahoes, and also to a large congrega- tion at Fort Washakie. The Rev. Sherman Coolidge and an Indian catechist are doing faithful work among their own people, the Arapahoes. At Lander the Bishop also held service and preached in the church at that place. Duluth. The missions of the Church among the Chippewa Indians, with which the name of Bishop Whipple was long associated, are all situated in the northern portion of the Missionary District of Duluth. Within the jurisdiction of Duluth, it is estimated that there are between 5,000 and 8,000 Indians and half-breeds. Government schools have been established at Red Lake, Wild Rice River, White Earth, Pine Point, and other places, and, in the judgment of Bishop Morrison, they are doing a good work. The Roman Church has had a missionary work among the Indians for more than 200 years. They have now, it is said, six white Priests and a number of women belonging to religious orders engaged in Indian work. At White Earth and at Red Lake they have schools toward the support of which the United States Government pays fully $10,000 annually. They claim a membership among the Chippewas of between 2,000 and 3,000 souls. Their following is principally confined to the half-breeds. They seem to have made very little impression on the full-blood Indians. Our own Church has been pursuing mission work among the Chippewas for about forty years. The pres- ent staff of workers consists of Archdeacon Gilfillan, the Rev. Francis Willis, eight In- dian clergymen, and one catechist. The statistics show 1,007 baptized persons and 561 communicants. The Bishop has confirmed 130 Indians during the last two and a half years. There are ten churches. The work is seriously hampered by insuflJcient means, the appropriations of the Board not being large enough to pay even the stipends of the present staff. The Bishop has a petition from a band of Indians far away in the forest ask- ing for a missionary. A devoted Churchwoman in the Diocese of Newark supports one of the missions among the Indians and contributes largely to help the clergy in other missions. Beyond these contributions, the Bishop has not received $200 this year for the Indian work from the Church at large. He asks for generous contributions to meet the demands of this pressing work. Minnesota. Under the Right Rev. Dr. Whipple, the Indian work is carried on among the Sioux at Birch Coolie. During the year one of the chief events was the ordination to the Diaconate of Henry Whipple, son of the Rev. George St. Clair, the first Sioux or- dained to the sacred Ministry of this Church. The ordination took place at Birch Coolie in the presence of a large gathering of Indians. After the ordination Bishop Whipple held a confirmation and administered the Holy Communion. North Dakota. Under Bishop Edsall, the Indian work is among the Chippewas, in the Turtle mountains, at the Fort Totten reservation, among the Dakotas, on the south side of Devil’s lake, at the Standing Rock reservation, south of the Cannon Ball river, and also at Porcupine, far up the river. The Bishop visited Dunseith, June 8th, and preached. The next day h« drove up into the mountains with Mr. Salt to the house of Rising Sun, where Mr, Salt conducts service every Sunday, driving twenty-five miles for 5 that purpose. Here the Bishop held a service and administered the Lord’s Supper to about thirty Indians. Ho also confirmed two young women and baptized five children, and gave the blessing of the Church upon the marriage of old Rising Sun and his devoted wife. The couple are over seventy years of age. Mr. Salt is carrying on among these Turtle mountain Indians a most noble work. He is to be ordained to the Diaconate this year. A chapel is very much needed for the work at that station. The sum of $700 would cover the expense. At Fort Totten, the Rev. Mr. Rees continues in charge. On the Bishop’s visitation in August, he confirmed a class of twenty-two Indians and admin- istered the Holy Communion to nearly fifty. The Bishop was able to read a good part of the Confirmation service in the Sioux language, which he had been studying lately. John Brown, native lay-reader, interpreted the sermon, and both he and Mr. Kerstetter, white helper, assisted Mr. Rees and the Bishop in the service. In addition to the services at St. Mark’s Chapel at the fort, services are held at two distant points on the reservation — Raven Hill and The Bend. A chapel at each of these stations is greatly needed. The work at Cannon Ball, on the Standing Rock reservation, is under the charge of Mr. Rees, who visits the station every two months, but the native helper, Thomas P. Ashley, con- ducts service every Sunday. He is a candidate for Deacon’s Orders, and will be admitted within the year. At Upper Cannon Ball, seven miles distant, services are conducted every other Sunday in a private house by Alexander His War, another native helper. Upon his visit at this reservation the Bishop confirmed fourteen, baptized six children, and solemnized one marriage. Forty-nine received the Holy Communion. There is great need there for a resident white Priest, with two or three native Deacons. The present appropriation for the Indian work in North Dakota is $1,400. Oklahoma. Under the Right Rev. Dr. Brooke there are five different tribes, num- bering in all 70,000 Indians, and speaking about thirty different dialeets. At St. Luke’s mission, Bridgeport, the work is earried on by the Rev. D. A. Sanford among the Ara- pahoes. At Whirlwind, twenty miles distant, the Rev. David P. Oakerhater, Indian Deacon, labors among the Cheyennes. Miss Roff is doing good work among the Kiowa women at Anadarko, teaching them lace-making, by which they do much toward earning their living. The Indian children at Whirlwind this year, for the first time, made their Lenten and Easter Offering for the missionary work of the Church. Salt Lake. Under Bishop Leonard, the Indian work is now confined to eastern Utah, where Mr. M. J. Hersey, candidate for Deacon’s Orders, is ministering. The work has pro- gressed, in spite of many difficulties. A small infirmary of three rooms has been added to the group of mission buildings, but some furniture is needed to complete it. Miss Lucy Carter, who has served so faithfully for three years, has removed to White Rocks, on the Uintah reservation, and is doing excellent work. South Dakota. Under the Right Rev. Dr. Hare, the Indian work is carried on among the Sioux and other tribes at the following agencies: The Rosebud, Pine Ridge, Standing Rock, Cheyenne River, Santee, Yankton, Sisseton, Lower Brule, Flandreau, and Crow Creek. Among the Indians are fifty-two church buildings, and thirty-three mission dwell- ings, and ninety congregations. With the assistance of the lay-helpers, the twenty-one clergymen in the work are able to sustain the services of the Church regularly in each of these congregations. The confirmations during the year have been 209. The educa- tional work is carried on in four schools: St. Paul’s School for Boys, at the Yankton Agency, in charge of Mrs. Jane F. Johnstone, principal, assisted by two other teachers. The average attendance of pupils for the past year has been fifty-three. St. Mary’s School for Girls, at Rosebud Agency, under the charge of Mr. J. F. Kinney, Jr., principal, as- sisted by Mrs. Kinney, matron, and three female teachers. The average attendance of pupils has been fifty. St. John’s School for Girls, Fort Bennett, under the care of Mr. E. 6 J. Warner, principal, assisted by Mrs. Warner, matron, and two female assistants; aver- age attendance of pupils, forty-five; and St. Elizabeth’s School for Boys and Girls, Stand- ing Rock reserve, under the supervision of Miss Mary S. Francis, principal, assisted by three female teachers ; average attendance, fifty-eight. Several new church buildings have been erected by the Indian congregations, with some assistance given by the Bishop. These are at Ascension station. Crow Creek re- serve; at Holy Faith and Holy Name Stations; at the Black Pipe, Rosebud reserve, and at Bad Nation Settlement. A comfortable and substantial rectory has been erected by the Rev. A. B. Clark at the Rosebud agency, from funds from the legacy of the late Mrs. Elizabeth M. Graff, and a fine church and simple mission dwelling provided for out of the same fund on the same reserve at a point midway between the government boarding- school and our mission boarding-school. The contributions received from the people for clerical support are grouped in one fund, and disbursed under the direction of the Bishop among the native Deacons. The amount raised by the Indians for that purpose during the jear past was $680.69. It is of interest to note that in the Indian field there are no debts of any kind resting upon any of the buildings of the mission, with the exception of $153 on the Chapel of the Holy Faith, and $223 on the Chapel of the Holy Name, Lower Brule. During the year the following candidates were ordained to the Diaconate: Messrs. Herbert Welsh, Joseph Good Teacher and Percy Phillips. Southern Virginia. The Indian School at Hampton, Virginia, has continued its good work throughout the year without interruption. The Rev. Mr. Bryan, the chap- lain, reports that the past twelve months have shown a remarkable degree of earnestness among the students. Of the 130 pupils, forty are communicants of the Church, twenty- three of whom are boys, and seventeen girls. There are twenty-five young men in the Bible-class.
