Eliot and the Indians
BY the REV. THOMAS B. GREGORY.

TOHN ELIOT. the Apostle to
the Indians preached his first
- sermon to the red men at
small Indian village near what is
now Watertown, Massachusetts,
two hundred and sixty-six years
ago.
Eliot and the aborigines have
long been dust but there is that in
the above statement that may well
challenge our most reverential at
tention.
John Eliot was one of the most
cultured men of his time. He was
as conspicuous among the men of
his day for learning and thorough
intellectual equipment as, say, ex-
President Eliot, of Harvard, is
among the men Of the present time.
A graduate of Cambridge, Eng
land. he came to America in 1881,
at the age of twenty eight. diStin-
guished for pathological scholarship.
linguistic talent and a general. all
round erudition.
1t is safe to say that he might
have had whatever he wanted in
the young commonwealth in the
way of office, honor and power. In
the church, the best pulpits were
open TO him, and in the state the
highest positions were awaiting
him. But from these allurements
he cheerfully turned away to carry
out the self-imposed task of maxi
ing himself the instrument of the
mental and moral uplift of the red
men.
AS proof OF Eliots profound ear
nestness Of purpose and deep sin
cerity in his work, it is only neces-
sary to recall two astounding facts
first that he devoted fourteen
years to the study of the Algonquin
dialect that was spoken by the In
dams OF Massachusetts Bay: and
second that, having mastered the
task. he actually translated the en-

didate, after having long turned a
deaf ear to our entreaties. at last
claims, like Saul OF Tarsus. to have
seen great light and been con-
verted.
one would have thought that
women would have been drunk with
the JOY of this partial victory. and
that with one accord they would
have rushed, pell nell. to enroll
themselves under the Bull Moose
standard. To their everlasting hon
or this has not happened. Women
put their patriotism before their
profit, their love of their country
before good to the cause that is
neares~and dearest to their hearts
and tried to do what they believed
to be the best for the United
States. even though 1t might not
have been best for suffrage. They
knew that they had nothing to
hope for from MIR. Taft and little
TO expect from Mr. Wilson. and vet

tire Scriptures into the Indian lam
guage.
Nothing but Love could have ac-
complished that immense task.
Love never faileth," we are told
by one of the highest authorities:
and that is why Eliot did not break
down in his herculean labors. His
unselfish love for the Indians car
ried him through.
Beginning his missionary labors
with that first sermon in 1916. Eliot
kept them up. without signs of fall
tering, for forty four years. The
last piece of work that the good old
man did was to translate an Eng
fish book into the Algonquin tongue
Never did a human being more
completely devote himself to the
good of others. All through his
more youthful years, through his
splendid prime, and away down into
his declining days did he toll for
the uplift of the "savages" who, in
the opinion of most of the Chris
tians" of the time, were fit for
nothing but to be shot down.
Gathering them into villages, he
strove with all his might to reach
their scanty intelligence and still
scantier moral sense" Some five
thousand of the children of the
forest" We're benefited by his minis
trations, and if all the other Chris
tians of Massachusetts had been OF
the type of Eliot, history might
have a very different tale to tell.
Yes, John Eliot passed away and
with him passed his Indians; the
Bible that he left in the Indian Ian
guage can now be read by hardly a
soul on earth: and the very places
where the red men gathered TO
hear his teachings are forgotten.
But none the less true is it that the
spirit that animated Eliot was the
spirit of the Good which lives for
ever, and which is finally to make
all men love each other as Eliot
loved the red men OF Massachu-
sets Bay,

by the time the next presidential
election comes around there will
not even be any discussion of the
ACCESSIBILITY of inserting a woman's
suffrage plank in the platform. nor
will there be any presidential can

sertion that he doesn't know where

The knowledge that millions of
women vote. and that they hold the

illuminating to the understanding
of politicians.

Wilson'S Election Proves Suffrage Theory

THE election is over, and as the
shouting and the tumult die,
there stand forth three
points that are particularly inter
esting as they affect women.
First and foremost, four more
states Michigan, Kansas. Oregon
and Arizona-have joined the hon
orable procession that has granted
political freedom to it's women,
Second, although Colonel Roose-
Welt came out in favor of woman
suffrage. and the Progressive party
was the only one that inserted
woman suffrage plank in it's plat
form, the Bull Moosers did not car
ry "a single state in which women
were voting.
This one fact-that women did
not stampede In a body to the Pro-
gressive party-is the best suffrage
argument that has ever been adj
vanced. 1t shows that women can
keep their heads under the stress of
great temptation. and refutes the
often expressed fear that they

"WO women, both widows,
were talking of life, mother
hood and their ideals of duty.
one woman was something past
forty; she had been wife at TWEEN
. ty: and her children were growing
into the romantic age. She was
contemplating d second marriage
with a good man. The other wom-
an was older; past the half-century
mark; and her children were all
married. o.
She rebuked the younger woman
for her thought of conserving to a
second marriage.
You have comfortable Income"
she said, and your children ought
to fill your life so that no such
foolish idea as a second marriage
could enter your mind. I was a
widow at thirty; and now l am

All Parties Wanted Work.

Heretofore, so far as a presiden-
tial campaign has been concerned,
women have cut just about as much
real figure in politics as a snow
flake is supposed to cut in the
region of perpetual summer Cam
paign orators were content to
throw them a few bouquets of
compliments, and to say something
nice and fattering about women
using their great silent influence
in politics. And that ended it.
But with the women voting in six
states and holding the balance of
power, and with women about to
vote in many other states and
keenly interested everywhere in
politics, there was no talk about
woman's silent influence. All three
of the big parties urged women to
use their voices in their behalf,
and to roll up their sleeves and help
with the actual political work.
Woman without the ballot was a
cipher that no one thought of con-
sidering. Woman with the ballot
is a mighty power that has to be
reckoned with and conciliated The
granting of the franchise to wom-
en- in Michigan and Kansas and
Arizona and Oregon is the begin,
ming of the end of the long fight
women have made for political free

Because you are a very lonely
