A great discussion was raised when
young Choctaw came forward 10
join conference. He could not speak
or read English. Bishop Hargrove
took the position that he could not
change laws, only interpret them.
At last resolution was adopted ask
ing the General Conference 10 pre-
pare a course of study for the In
dians in their own language. Full
bloods are very useful in preaching
To those who are not acquainted with
English. They are also used as in
terpreters. Some of them are very
fine orators.
The ruling of Bishop Hargrove
was a disappointment to many who
need these natives in their work.
Rev Stegall Of North Texas Con
ference, was received into confer
ence.
Next was the hearing of reports OF
ministers on trial.
Some Of these reports were unique.
one Brother from the extreme west
said he was a great many things be
sides paster, he taught them to farm,
build houses, put up hay etc. lie
said il took a great time to preach
one sermon where il taxes three or
four interpreters to give il to the
people.
Another Brother said his Indians
had put up ten times as much hay n
ever before. This industrial feature
is the best part of the work.
They are now fencing lands, build
ing houses and otherwise becoming
more civilized. One was passed in
this report, having stood the exam
ination creditably.
Reports show that one Of the great
est hindrances is the floating popu-
lation.
