American board of foreign missions was mainly
occupied in receiving reports.
Judge Taylor of Canandagua, n. Y, spoke
OF the interference of the Episcopal missionary
society in the Dakota field. He was fully con-
WINGED that the great mass of that commission
was not in sympathy with what had been done
1t was caused by Il zeal without knowledge
on the part of their missionaries. 1t was not
pleasant thus TO ccnSure sister church, but the
truth demanded ventilation. 1t seems that when
the Indian policy of our government was adopt
ed twas intended 10 allow those missions already
established to nominate United States officers to
act in that field. The mission of the American
board had been there twenty-five years when the
EpiSCOpaians came in and by some means man
aged to secure the United States officers who
were not favorable 10 the boards mission. Dr.
Treat said he was glad to say that only a few
persons were responsible for this discourtesy.
