Sleep
And Rest

Every movement of the
body consumes energy. So
does mental effort. En-
ergy is supplied by the
nerves. It follows that
physical or mental exhaus-
ton simply means an
over-draft on the nerves.
Nature restores energy
through rest and sleep.
You cannot sleep with
tired nerves. DR.. Miles

|. PIERRE JEAN
DeSNIET 5. ].
"A Biographical. ] Sketch by E. R,
Steinbrueck.

The first missionary to bring the
gospel Of Christ to the Indianss OF
the Northwest and the western
part Of our present state of North
! Dakota was the Jesuit Father, p
Pierre Jean DeSmet. He was
born on January. Both, 1901, in
Termode, Belgium, and was one OF
the IL novices who wandered from
the Chesapeake to the Missouri, to
be one Of the inmates
Of the newley established
novitiate atSt. Louis in 1928 In.
the year 1888, now Pater, E.
Desmet S. j. began missionary
work among the Indians of the
Rockey Mountains. He founded
missionary station among the
Pawatomies. In 1910 we find him
at his blessed work in the Bitter
root valley, amng the Flatheads,
the Snake Indians and the Pend'd
Orilles. His field of conversion
extended as far as Fort Union
opposite the mouth OF
the Yellowstone river. Thence
ha decended the Missouri river as
far as Fort Rice visiting on his
Journey the Mandans, the Arikara
and the Hidatsa Indians on their
reservation of Fort Berthold.
Thus in September, l84O, it was
the first time that a christian mis-
sionary traversed the upper
territory, which is now part OF the
state Of North Dakota.
In 1912, on his return from Fort
Vancouver to st. Louis it was the
second time, that he, going down
the Missouri, crossed our state
again, teaching, consoling, pacify-
ing and spending the holy sacra-
ments Of baptism and OF
matrimony. He was the one
white man, in whom the poor, i'll
treated Indians had implicit faith
to whom they looked up to as to a
father, whom they respected and
honored and obeyed because they
recognized him to be pure of heart,
honest and unselfsh.
From ls44-l946 P. DeSmit
spent his time among the Flat
heads and the Blackfeet, who we're
hostile to each other. He succeed
ed in bringing on peace between
these two tribes. He also worked
among the Metz Perce's and the
Crows.
After an absence Of three years
and six months he returned from
Fort Benton, then called Fort
Lewis, down the river again to
Fort Louis, all ways visiting his
Indians on the way and admin
istering to their religious wants.
The whole Columbian valley had
been dotted with infant estab blish-
ments and he had laid the
foundation for spiritual empire
throughout that entire north
western region.
The great rush and increasing
immigration Of white settlers into
Oregon had caused the Indians to
feel uneasy and alarmed, seeing
their once undispnted domain slip
/ away from them. Disturbed, they
became hostile. Counciles with
! the Indians were arranged for by
the Government and p. DeSmet
was called upon as peacemaker.
Not once, but many times, and he
Vas always sue ccessful in restoring
peace and submission, task that
no other v hite man could have
accompli plished.
Owing to jealousy and false re..
ports about P. DeSmet's work
Intentions and achievements, his
blissful work among ths Indians
vas interrupted forever six yeas.
4 The Indians had become Suncon-
trollable and inimlc lcal during that
time, and serious trouble was at
b hand Then the Goyernment took
rsfugs again to r Desmet's good

j This happened in 1858, seven years
after his last visit to the upper
Indians in 1851.
He returned in July, 1859, tc
st. Louis, again by the waterway
of the Missouri, babtising on his
route over 900 Indian children
In the summer of 1862 he travlled
once more the long distance from
st. Louis to Fort Benton and back
in fullfllment of his religious
work among the Indians. After
Generals Sibley's and Sully's
military expedition against Sioux
in 1868. p. Desmet left st Louis
again April Goth, 1864. on a peace
commission after his own mind,
having refused to accompany a
military force of war, he, a
messenger of peace and love. He
remained at Fort Berthold nearly
all summer among our Mandan's,
Arikara and Pidatse. In the yeaz
1866 he made his first journey to
Fort Benton. Early in 1867, once
more requested by the secretary Of
war to pacify the hostile Sioux
he went as far as Fort Buford
stopping on his way at Fort
Thompson, Sully, Rice and Bert
hold, where hundreds and
thousands of Indians were waiting
at the landings to see him and
shake hands with him. Where
ever he showed himself, peace was
with him. In 1868 he only
travlediup the river as far as Fort
Rice on peace commission, in
Guiding Generals Sherman,
Sheridan, Harney, Terry and
others, who turned off to (. Fort
Laramie, while P. Desmet betook
himself across the plains, directly
west about $40 miles~to see Sitting
Bull and his 5000 hostiles. After
council, peace was in sight and
thus P. DeSmet had succeeded in
solving the most difficult problem,
outside of any other white mans
power. His achievement is the
most remarkable in the history of
our Indian wars.
Ten times had he entered or
traversed our state. He had made
nineteen voyages across the ocean
and had travelled during a period
Of fifty blissful years, 236, 1852
miles. He the greatest man whom
ever our state has harboerd, a
Jesuit father, P. Perrie Jean De-
Smet, died at st. Louis, May 23rd,
1873, seventy-two years old a true
apostel Of Christ and a peace
maker between the red and the
white race, for the U. s. Govern
ment.
The occasion of my writing
this short biographical sketch Of
this celebrated Pioneer priest; Of
the Society Of Jesus, is. the an
nouncement made by our venerable
pastor the, very Rev. D. v.
Collins, that on the 18th Of May
to the 25th. a Catholic mission and
revival will be preached in our
beautiful church, by two priests
Of the same order.
Thus we see that the Catholic
church was established in the
Missouri slope country about 81
years ago, while in the eastern
part Of the state Of North
Dakota the Catholic church was
organized at Pembina by Rev.
Pere Du Moulin on September 8th
1918.

ment Of the Catholic church II
