ais of this people, as will enable me to
prohibit the teaching OF the Catholic
Iaith, or Of holding Catholic services
among them, even though the Indians
desire it and clamor for it. To which
3uery, and others, Commissioner Smith
made answer: II have to say that the
TACT that your agency is under the
charge of the Presbyterian Church does
not warrant any intolerant exercise OF
power, and that while il is desirable in
al cases that mission work should be
done under the direction OF the religious
body nominating the agent, yet where
here are persons having another faith,
and desire religious services OF their, it
Is not in accordance with public policy
Or the epirit OF religious toleration to
orbid or hinder such services in any
way"
