-H~ AaA oh cAANAtton Is Beyond the Com
prehension of Indians.
The Victoria Colonist representative
at Vancouver, b. c., had an interest
ing conversation few days since with
r. j. Skinner, government limb r
agent, in reference to the Haida In
dams and the coast Indians in gen.
eral. Mr.. Skinner said: although I
have the greatest respect for mission
aries among the Indians. no matter
what their denomination. and while I
have not the least doubt that most of
them are very earnest men. am sorry
to say that the reports that they send
To the outside world are rather too
highly colored.
Il have been a resident among the
Indians for twenty-five years and have
talked with hundreds of the natives on
the Queen Charlotte islands and other
places on the coast. IL was always the
rule, while all the tribes acknowledged
Supreme Being. that those who had
not met the missionaries knew nothing
of spiritual life. prayer, purgatory
or the atonement for sins. but those
who had come in contact with the mis-
sicnaries solemDly aver that their re-
Hgion had always been similar to the
Christian religion. 1t is very, very
difficult to convert the Siwash for
these reasons They cannot tell the
truth as we define it. If asked direct
question they viii answer as they
think would please you. and not neces-
sarily according TO the facts of the case
again, il is foreign to the nature of
the coast Indian to believe in any such
thing as vicarious punishment. The
suffering of Christ upon the cross in
atonement for our sins is simply be-
yond their comprehension, although.
of course, in a superficial way they
will smilingly acquiesce in anything.
There is little doubt that the mission
aries are doing n grand work in ele-
waiting the morals Of the red men, but
