Early In the year 1916. John Stewart,
q free colored mulatto from Virginia.
was converted at Marietta and joined
the Methodist Episcopal church. Soon
afterward, while praying alone in the
fields one day, he claimed to have heard
a voice from the heavens commanding
him to go in northwesterly direction
This he interpreted to be divine calling
for him to go as a missionary to the In.
dians. and. though ignorant and un-
authorized and unencouraged by the
church, he started out upon his mission.
He Travelled alone on foot, and though
he passed through many villages and
encountered many Indian camps, he did
not stop until he arrived at the old In
dian village of Upper Sandusky, the
chief town of the Wyandots. This he
believed to be his destination, and though
regarded with disfavor and treated with
every indignity he stopped and settled
down.
The Wyandot Indians occupied large
reservation about Upper Sandusky.
which had been an Indian town from
earliest tradition. This tribe came origi-
nally from Canada, where many of their
ancestors had been converted to the
Catholic faith by the early French Jesu-
its. They were rather warlike people,
but were possessed of n high degree of
intelligence, and to certain extent fol-
lowed the arts of civilization. For the
first dozen years of the century two Jes-
nit priests had lived among them at Up
per Sandusky, but they left in 1912; and
when Stewart came, four years later,
not over half dozen of the savages re-
mained true to the Catholic faith. the
rest having gone back to paganism.
Stewart found living among the Indians,
Jonathan Pointer, negro whom he had
known many years before in Virginia,
and after long struggle he was per-
suaded to act rs an interpreter to Stew
art, who could not speak work of the
Indian language. Stewart preached his
first sermon to one solitary old squaw
and the second one to the same old squaw
and an old crippled brave she had brought
along. His audiences soon increased,
however, and he continued to preach
with great fervor, though the effect of
many sermons was spoiled by his in
terpreter, who was u thorough pagan,
often remarkinS after the translation of
a sentence: That's what the preacher
says, but don't believe it," etc.
Soon n few converts were gained, how
ever, and. a start having once been made,
others followed rapidly, Jonathan, the
interpreter, being among them. One of
the first converts of note was Between
the-Logs, chief of the Bear tribe, who
afterwards became famous Indian
preacher and was liccused 10y The Metho.
dist Episcopal church. Mononcue and
other chiefs We're also soon converted
Reports of Stewart's great success among
! the Indians were soon spread over the
country and made deep impression
among religious people 1t was his labors
which inspired call for the memorable
meeting in the Bowely Methodist Epis-
copal church in New York city on the
night of April 3, 1919, on which occasion
the Missionary and Bible society of the
church was organized.

Stone, OF st. Louis, where each Of them de
