 shamans and Che old people. Ho says that during Che same time there was not a single case Of smallpox among Che Russian population. When Che Indians allowed tho Russian doctors to yaccinato them the epidemic stopped at once Before Che death of Che powerful shamans there was no chance Of doing anything for them. Tho eyes of Che people were opened and for Che first ume they realized Chat Che Russians wished them no harm. After Che cessation Of Che epidemic Father Voniaminoff was able to go among thom and visit their homes. where ho became a welcome visitor. He immediately proceeded to preach Che Gospel. Ho did this necessarily. He did this at their homes and on Che streets. Tho Indians listened to him with great interest and much attention. He never forced them to take up Che christian doctrine. nor did he give presents or make promises ue pa- tiently waited Co have them come Co him end ask for baptism. Those who voluntarily came to him Go bo taken into tho church hc further instruct ed and then baptized. He says that In ten years Of hard work only 90 became christians. and they were ones. The rest were not ready In later years other preachers took up this work. So when a sufficient number embraced christianity an Inc dian church was built for them. sop- aratc from Che white church The work was slow. but the ieed planted by Father Veniaminoff was bcgin- ming to mature.
 ] am wondering if Che writer of Che article in Che verstovian who speaks with such confidence thinks if the American missionaries came to sltka when ignorance and super suuuon had such a hold on Che Indians they would have had Che same success Chat they enjoyed in later years when the culture among the natives advanced to such dc- gree that they were ready Co receive the Word Of God in a more compre- hcnsive manner?
 In order Co build a large concrete structure one must first lay a suit-. able foundation and in order to do SO he must go down to the bedrock. He must have pick and shovel men to do tho job. After Che concrete foundation has been laid Che big house can Doe easily built.
 How easy it is Go criticise Che work of others when we know SO little of that work. so in criticising Che Russian missionaries we must cone stantly keep In mind the odds they worked against In conclusion must repeat. Yes. Che Russian mis- sionaries made it possible for others to come and reap Che harvest.
