Jackson to the station on Norton Sound for the 277 which are yet due
us. These will be driven up some time this winter. After they come
we will make an estimate of the number belonging to the Eskimo boys
and mark them. I have taken one new herder as an apprentice, and
hope to take another or two next year. We sold reindeer at thirty
dollars per head to the Bureau of Education, which furnished money
for training other apprentices. Our old apprentices can now pay
their own way, and the sale of the reindeer in the future will go
toward helping new apprentices till they can help themselves.
"The Woman's Home Missionary Association of Boston have contributed
toward the support of native workers. We received word about it and
rejoiced in their generous gifts. I will use it in helping support
Sokweena at our little mission at Mitle-tok. As I wrote last year,
we were enabled to start this mission through a small contribution
of about twenty-five dollars from the generous Endeavorers of
Westboro, Mass. Then some other friends sent in a little help that
went toward the support of Sokweena and his wife. It is not enough,
but we will try to make it do for the present. We were unable to
visit Sokweena but three times last winter. If we could only visit
him oftener and help him more he would be able to accomplish more.
But some of the children at his mission learn to spell and write a
little and to sing. We had some very good meetings. Lucy and I went
up and stayed three days. We took a lantern. Many of the old folks
had professed Christ and seemed to be earnest and sincere in their
prayers. The position for Sokweena is a hard one at times.
"Adlooat, one of our brightest boys, was typo and artist for the
_Eskimo Bulletin_. We will not be able to get the _Bulletin_ out
before November, I am afraid.
"We have just erected a building twelve by forty feet, which we have
decided to call 'Thornton House.' It is to be used as a workshop,
club-room and other purposes for the natives. The need of such a
building had occurred to Mr. Thornton and myself in 1890. Last year
Mrs. Thornton succeeded in gathering one hundred and twenty-seven
dollars, which was sufficient to purchase the lumber and pay the
freight on it. Two natives and I have put up the building. The
natives did most of the work on it, as I could not leave our house
long at a time."

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVORERS AMONG THE INDIANS.
F. B. RIGGS.
It will be ten years this February since the first Indian Christian
Endeavor Society was organized in Santee Normal Training School, at
Santee, Nebraska.
The Christian Endeavor movement was rapidly gaining everywhere, and
it was not long before other societies were started--in the Oahe
mission school, and the Presbyterian mission school at Sisseton,
South Dakota. Fourteen months later the first Indian Christian
Endeavor Society was started at Santee.
[Illustration: CHAPEL, SANTEE NORMAL SCHOOL, NEB.
Meeting-place of our Indian Endeavor Society.]
[Illustration: MAMIE DAKA ELDER,
_Pres't Santee Endeavor Soc._]
This year at Santee the young people's society includes twenty-one
of the Indian pupils with three or four of the teachers, and there
are two junior societies, one of girls and one of boys. There is a
mothers' society, which was started three or four years ago among
the women of the mission church. All these societies have an
important place in the Indian mission work.
[Illustration: ETTA R. STAMFORD,
_Sec'y Santee Endeavor Soc._]
In the young people's society many of the members remain the
same from year to year; but during the ten years one hundred and
thirty-two young people have joined. They have come from eighteen
different agencies, and in several cases from more than one village
in the agency. Out of this one-hundred and thirty-two, twenty-three
have been engaged, since leaving school, in direct missionary work,
most of them as preachers and teachers of day-schools, but a few
as the wives of such teachers, or as teachers in mission
boarding-schools or missionary helpers. Some of these have done
excellent work, and those of whom this is true are nearly always
those who were most faithful and active during their school course
in the Christian Endeavor Society. Three or four of the most
promising have died before they had any opportunity to work at their
homes, but some of these short lives were so faithful and patient
that perhaps they did more good than many longer lives.
[Illustration: SANTEE JUNIOR ENDEAVOR SOCIETY.]
Three other societies have been started among the Indians, where the
leaders were chiefly from those who had been members at Santee. But
the societies not connected with mission schools have been
transient, or intermittent in their life. Those at Santee and
Sisseton, and one at Fort Berthold mission school in North Dakota,
have lived. A society is to be started at the Omaha Agency soon.

[Illustration: FRED INYANHOKJILA JOHNSON,
_Chair'n Prayer-meeting Committee, Santee Endeavor Soc._]
The young people's society at Santee has been a training school for
its members. It has broadened their feeling of Christian fellowship
with the great army of fellow Endeavorers. It has given them songs
that they enjoy very much. It has increased their interest in
missions and deepened their feeling of responsibility for service to
the Master.
The junior work at Santee has been especially encouraging among the
girls, who are rather more responsive than the boys. Of the twelve
little girls in the picture, one died last year, but eight are now
members of the senior society.
In the monthly meetings of the Mothers' Society of Christian
Endeavor many questions are asked and answered concerning the care
and training of children, and the children are remembered in prayer.
One thing, at least, these Christian Endeavor Societies have done.
They have emphasized the idea of _endeavor_ and _service_. It
expresses itself in the use of a new word, or rather the use of an
old word a thousand times where it was used once before. The name in
Dakota means "The society of those who want to work for Jesus," and
"working for Jesus" has become a more prominent thought in all their
religious life.

[Illustration: MINNIE WANMLIWIN LAST-HORSE.
_Chair'n Flower Committee, Santee Endeavor Society_.]
Last year a Junior Endeavor Society of Indian girls gave one dollar
to the Church-Building Society, one dollar to the Education Society,
one dollar to the Dakota Native Missionary Society, and one dollar
to the American Board. A Junior Endeavor Society of Indian boys gave
one dollar to the American Missionary Association. A Senior Endeavor
Society of Indian boys and girls last year gave fourteen dollars to
the American Board and three dollars to the Woman's Missionary
Union. The Endeavor Society proves, therefore, among the Indian
boys and girls and young people just what it does everywhere else.
It gives them larger views of the kingdom of God, it stimulates them
to greater sacrifice in giving of their means to the spread of this
kingdom, and awakens within them deeper spiritual earnestness. The
life of a Christian Endeavorer, wherever that life may be spent,
cannot be a narrow, selfish life, if loyal to the great Christian
Endeavor idea. This society is an important factor in Christian
enlargement and quickening among our young people on the prairie.

LINCOLN MEMORIAL SUNDAY.
Sunday, February 11th, marks this celebration in the calendars of
our Congregational Sunday-schools. A new Concert Exercise has been
prepared and will be sent to superintendents and teachers who desire
to keep this day in the interests of Christian patriotism and for
the support of the work among the needy millions represented in the
life and history of our martyred President, Abraham Lincoln. The A.
M. A. reaches by Christian education the American Highlanders, from
whom Abraham Lincoln came. It sends missionaries and teachers to the
Negroes, whom Abraham Lincoln freed. It plants its Christian work
among the Indians, for whom Abraham Lincoln spoke words of honest
sympathy. It is this great work that appeals to our Sunday-schools.
