The following communication is from the Rt. Rev. Bishop P. Bourgade,
of Arizona. “The Indian work here is so limited and so uncertain that
the prospects for the future are not very bright. The protestant and
government schools are getting control of most of the Indians. The
work of propagating the faith would require money, and missionaries to
consecrate themselves to the work— I have very little money, and very
little time to give to the Indian work. I have besides, no missionaries
to spare. The few attempts that I have made to induce Religious to come
to Arizona to work for the Indians, have failed.”
