alton of educated christian men, OF ra-

terprising Indian citizens and church
members
The spirit Of comfy and CO. opera
ton IN the Indian work mas been nota-
bly, increased. In fact the mission work
for the native American race has been
in a remarkable way the means of
drawing the divided protestant organ
izations into mutual understanding
The boards OF the Home Mission
Council have practically agreed to re-
spect the possession of Indian mission
fields without overlapping. and to re-
