The unity of the human race was confirmed in the way in which Mark picked at his trousers, and in the way in which he did not know what to do with his hands and his feet during his eloquent oration. The Indians laughed at his embarrassment “just like white folks.” The wives of the teachers and the Christian women from the out-stations had come to this great entertainment. They met at an Indian home (Spotted Bear’s) and decided to call a meeting, inviting Miss Collins to address them, as she had just returned to her old home and people after a long absence. About fifty women, of whom about thirty were Christians and twenty were in varied stages of darkness, made the congregation. Miss Collins opened the meeting with a hymn of rejoicing, which was sung with a will by all the people. Next she read the verses in Matt. 5.—“Ye are a city set on a hill. Do men light a candle,”—etc. “Let your light shine.” Speaking first to Christians who have been taught, she reminded them that the heathen were looking to them for help, and that if they did not honor God and the Church, then, instead of giving light to their people, they were making the darkness more dense—that even from the far-away districts they knew what the Indians at Oahe and up and down the Cheyenne River were doing—and if they followed Christ closely so would those beginning to see the light follow them. It was as if they were making a road across the trackless plains; if they kept on in a straight way, avoiding all the bad places, finding the good camping places by the way;—those who followed would be safe. Then she reported from her work at Grand River, trying to impress upon the women the necessity of working in their Missionary Society, to earn money to help give the gospel to the people. Luluwin Deprey, a half-breed woman who became a Christian and united with the church among the first converts, reported from their workers on the Cheyenne. She brought fancy articles made of buckskin trimmed in beads and porcupine quills, to be sold for the Missionary Society. In all, they will bring about ten dollars. She spoke in a quiet, modest way, saying that in making all these things they had asked no help whatever to buy material. They gave the material themselves, so that all that they brought was clear gain to the work. She urged the necessity of the church doing more, saying: “We have now but little money on hand and September is not far off, and we must work much. We have been ‘playing mission work’; now let us go to work and raise all the money we can, for if we are Christ’s we must not be idle or selfish. We must do all we can to help our heathen people, for many of our neighbors are in darkness. Many in this room are yet without the knowledge of God. We must _lift up the candle_.” Elizabeth Winyan spoke eloquently of the work done in the white churches by the Christian women for those who were living and dying without the gospel. All people who are without the Bible are alike. None
