Canton, S. D.. Jan. 5.-Charles Bates.
N of the government Indian allot-
ment n disburSing agents, has lust
visited the Indian insane ASYLUM at
this place. Mr.. Bates came here from
the Rosebud agency, where he. spent
some time connected with allotments
OF lands among the Indians. He says
.nat the indians who have taken up
ianus IN seVeralty are prospecting and
becoming happier and more c%ontented
as they see the blessings of the new
system over the old, while others are
becoming daily more dissatisfied. The
Indians are all beginning to see. he
says, that by taking up their allotments
they get exclusive and absolute control
OF their lands, while under the old re-
glme they were obliged to divide their
privileges with every man from every
tribe, and even the meddlesome white
man continued to contest their claims,
to the game in the forests and on the
prairies. Under the present law, Mr..
Bates says that all Indians under is
years are entitled to 100 acres of land,
and all over Is to 800 acres, while in
ADDITION thereto FAC receives $50 in
cash. There are about 10000 Indians
on8 the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
reservations among whom are MANY
vel married men of large families
Who came in for thousands of acres OF.
fine land. One Of these on the Rose
bud reservation is Picket Pin, the vel
known subchief who has three wives
and twenty-five children. Under the
present system the entire family, hay-
Ing concluded to take up land in sew
crafty, becomes owner of $500 acres OF
land that will ina few years become Of
the most valuable in the state. Pin
Is an industrious Indian and is proud
of,tne great possessions his family is
falling heir to.

Gods Goodness to America.


The American nation, although young,
is a great nation, and Gods great good
ness has been shown by the manifold
blessings we enjoy today. This is be-
cause it is a Christian nation. 1t be-
lieves in the Christian Sabbath; it be-
lieves in morality; it believes in educa-
ton for the masses and an equal oppor-
tunity for all men.-Bishop Jacob G.
Ramsey, Methodist, Philadelphia.
Realities of Life and Duty.
The best thing the church can do at
the present hour is to recall men to the
great realities of life and duty which
undeIlie all the questions which trouble
us, to show the workingman and the
capitalist, the poor maj and the rich
man, that in this land and in this coun-
try there are certain supreme civil and
sethical and religious principles Which
no man or party can ignore.-Rev. f.
l.. Phalen. Unitarian, Worcester, Mass.
Religion Begins Mt Home.
True religion, true evangelism, should
begin at home. The family was not
intended for the propagation of the
race, but for the propagation of re
ligion. Women have no business to
give their lives to foreign missions be-
fore they have accomplished their duty
of evangelizing their own children and
husbands. 1t was originally intended
chat every father should be the priest
Of the family.-Rev. DR.. p. S. Henson,
Baptist, Chicago.
Key to Chamber of Rest.
Obedience to God is the yoke by SUBJ
mission TO which we may reach rest;
obedience to God is the fitting Of self
to its sphere; obedience to God is the
step into that great harmony through
which alone the of true restful-
ness comes to the soul of a man; ODE
sdience to God involves the curbing Of
ambition and discomfort and selfish de-
sire. that make largely the burdens of
life; obedience to God is the key to the
sweet chamber Of rest.-Rev. DR.. An
son 2. Atterbury, Presbyterian, New
