LETTER TO The EDITOR
st. John, North Dakota,
April 10th, 1911.

Dear Rev. Father:
Some time ago "The Catholic Bull
letin" published a letter in which the
very literally to help pay the ex-
penses of the Indian missions at FL
bowoods, Fort Berthold Reservation,
North Dakota There is a statement
in that letter which I feel it my duty,
| in justice to myself and the friends
of my Indian missionary life, to cor
rect.
| The letter reads Thus it becomes
evident that our work among them
| (the Indians) is not in vain. Souls,
hungry for the truth and grace of God
for so many years are now instructed
and receive the Holy Sacramento"
This may deceive people not acquaint-
ed with the work done before by secu-
lar priests in the Reservation and
done for the Indians till the Benedic-
tine Fathers from Richardton, N. D.,
took charge of the missions. Here are
the facts:
For six years, from July, 1904, to
July, 1910, I was missionary among
the Indians at Elbowoods, succeeding
Father Malo. From August, 1904, to
January, 1910, (when / was taken i'll
and could not do much work. I bap-
tized 1923 adults as shown by the rec
ords at Elbowoods l also baptized
very many children of pagan parent
age. In June, 1908, Rt. Rev. John
Stanley, Bishop of Fargo, gave Con-
firmation to over one hundred persons.
In one of the missions where there
went there he confirmed thirty-six.
Every year hundreds and hundreds
received the Holy Sacraments of Pen
ance and Holy Eucharist.
In July, 1904, Elbowoods was the
only mission with ST. Andrew (Ree)
visited occasionally. When I left in
July, 1910, there were four Indian mis-
sions with very decent churches or
chapels-St. Michael, Shell Greek; ST..
John; st. Andrew; Sacred Heart, Ell
bowoods. Besides T built a meeting
house costing $1,000 for the Catholic
societies; paid $4,000 for an iron
fence for the cemetery; and $4,000
for an iron cross in the cemetery.
All the chapels Except st. Andrew
together with improvements, repairs,
etc., were paid for by the Indians and
their missionary alone.
Bishop Stanley, after his visit to
Elbowoods, in June, 1908, praised very
highly what he had seen among the
Indians of that place.
Very Rev. FIR VIM. H. Ketcham,
Director of the Bureau of Catholic In
dian Missions, Washington, D. c., in
the Northwestern Chronicle, st. Paul
August %, 1909, speaks of "the great
surprise he experienced on finding
what marvellous work had been accom-
plished by the missionary, Father
i Leon FaVreau, in his labors among
the Arickaree, Mandan and eros Ven
tres Indians" 1t is very easy to
; ignore or criticize the work of our
predecessors. and many of my friends
among the priests who read the said
letter and who know my work with
the Indians advised me to send this
statement to you.
AS priest and missionary among the
Indians for nearly twenty-one years
have undergone more hardships than
any of my successors will ever expert.
ence at Elbowoods. I thank Almighty
God that their work is blessed and
that the school which I started is a
success.
, Fraternally yours in Christie,
crew LEON FAVREAU.

When you are young, determine
what sort of a man you will be when
grown up. Have a plan. Then use
the proper materials. The building
of character is like the erection OF
house-it grows brick by brick, act
by act, regularly according to a de-
sign or oddly following no pattern.
Draw up an outline today of yourself
twenty years from now.

From every Catholic pulpit the
life giving message Of Christian
ity was preached at Easter with
renewed junction and grace. The
familiar story of the Resurrection
wrought it's accustomed changes,
no doubt, in souls that tried to
attune themselves to the alleluias
of this holy season.

DIR. German L. Martinez, the Min

two countries.

The spiritual joys of the Easter
tide remain with those whose
thoughts are heavenly, whose
souls are lily-White as the Easter
emblem.
