NOT HELPING PAGANISM.
MRS. o0NTERsE 81 rs SHE DOESN'T
OBsTRUCT MISSIONARY WORK.

New the story s~tarted-Ths indian RelIrion,
she says, Doesn't Dinsr Much from Chris
tianity-she Tells OF Cornplnnter, the sem
eco Preacher-Gcn. Parker's Monument.
Mrs. Harriet Maxwell Converse, who has Just
returned from a visit TO tho onondaga Indian
reservation near Syracuse, denied yesterday
that there was any truth in tho story that she
had used her influence TO confirm the Indians in
their pagan rites and TO prevent their conversion
to Christianity. Mrs. Converse said tho story
probsbly originated in this way: One OF the pur-
poses of her visit was to arrange for a council OF
chiefs. at which n matter of Importance was dis.
cussod with q State official. All OF the big chiefs
are pagans, and several minor chiefs, who hap
pened to be Christians, were shut out of tho con.
ference. This exclusion had nothing to do with
their religion. however.
Tho accusation" she said, "is a Islander.
/ am n member Of tho Episcopal Church. and I
have never meddled with the rites OF the In
dams in any way. l believe their religion is
practically the same as ours. The Indians wor-
ship the Great Spirit. who is called Ha.we.na.
yuh. They do not worship idols and have but
one God. They are far better Christians than
many missionaries. Tho Indians havo never
received anything but harm from tho whites,
and l do not blame him for not trusting them.
The effect OF tho missionary work Is to create
Jealousy and disorder where love and harmony
formerly reigned. l would like very much to
send some OF my good old righteous pagans
down here to Christianize some pagans in this
city
\ matter how small a meal is, On Indian
never sits down to 1t before thanking tho Great
Spirit Tor what he Is about to eat. When he has
finished he again renders thanks for what he
has received. The Seneca Indian Is childlike.
HIS religion has come down to him from genera
ton to generation, and he believes in II. Evor
