which Bishop Stevens made short address
He said that in opening this second anniversary
of the association he felt that he could say moth
ing better OF it than what its name implied
that il is the Indians Hope" 1t is very inter-
estUg, he said, to know that the first efforts to
settle this country were conducted with mis-
sonary efforts among the Indians, and that the

bearing the Macedonian cry, Come over agd

report, which states that when the society was
formed, little over two years ago, it had but
one feeble mission, under Rev. Samuel d. In
man, among the Santee Sioux. Moderate sue
cess had been obtained in securing funds aud
chapel, hospital and school-house had been
erected at cost of $50 900. Civilization had
gone forward as it always does in connection
with Christianity and now there are three hun
dred communicates, and there have been two
baptisms by Mr.. Inman. In June last terrible
tornado swept down the valley and destroyed
the buildings. They are now fast being re-
stored, however, and more than half the aalouut
necessary has been secured. Addresses were
made by Mr.. William Welsh, of Philadelphia,
and Right Rev. Bishop Clarkson, of Nevada,
giving accounts of the missionary work among
the Indians, and the good effect of President
Grants policy IN leaving Indian matters to the
care of the Christian churches, and calling for
liberal contributions to carry on the work.

children at Angora, Twenty. seventh ward, was
laid on Saturday afternoon, with appropriate
