"Pity the Red Man! scattered and peeled, Smitten and wounded, yet scorning to yield; Prairie and forest and lake were his own, Now he must wander, sad, homeless, and lone. Hasten! he stands on the farthermost shore; Haughty, intrepid, but loath to implore; Pilot his bark o'er the fathomless flood; Lead him to pardon, to Heaven, to God." Rev. P. Bevan. The prominent events in the history of Alaska missions for 1879 were the appeal for funds for the erection of mission buildings at Fort Wrangell, the erection of those buildings, the organization of the Fort Wrangell Presbyterian Church, and the visit of Rev. Henry Kendall, D.D., and party. Dr. Kendall and myself, in addition to our missionary duties, were a commission of the United States Government, being officially requested by the Hon.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Indian Missions on the North Pacific Coast Elizabeth Deix, a hereditary Indian chieftess, of great energy of character. In her new-born zeal she prayed earnestly for the conversion of her son Alfred, a pagan Indian living at Fort Simpson, five hundred miles north of Victoria, and Within fifteen miles of the Alaska frontier. At this very time - was it not in answer to that mother's earnest prayers -her son and his wife arrived at Victoria, and were soon Sharers of the like precious faith. Alfred and his wife Kate Spoke English well, and after ten months left Victoria with a few Bibles and Wesleyan Catechisms, as the pioneer missioharies to their pagan tribes-men at Fort Simpson. The former desperado, writes Mr. Mcmillan, who a few months before was the terror of the whole surrounding country, had all at once become a meek and quiet citizen and zealous working Christian. With his wife he established a day school, which soon had 200 pupils, and organized prayer and experience meetings and religious classes. Before a single white missionary visited the Fort, every family had renounced paganism, five hundred persons were attending these religious services, and several were hopefully converted to God. In answer to their earnest prayers for a missionary, the Rev. Mr. Crosby and his devoted wife were sent to take charge of this promising station. The Indians promptly contributed towards the erection of a church, several hundred dollars in money and money's worth, and soon they had a commodious and elegant church, forty by fifty feet, with a Spire 110 feet high, capable of seating 800 persons - indeed the most commodious Methodist church in the province. During its erection a storm blew off the roof and threatened its destruction. The walls were firmly lashed with ropes, 'and the people repaired to the school-house. There the following scene, as described by Dr. Jackson, took place: A chief arose and called out that it was not a time for long Speeches, but for action. Instantly twenty or thirty men left the house; others followed them, but soon they returned with rolls of blankets - the currency of that region-ou their shoulders and laid them in front of the teacher's desk, as their offering to the Lord. Blankets, coats, shirts, Shawls, guns, finger and ear-rings, bracelets, furs, and almost everything that could be turned into money, were laid upon the table, to the value of $400 - a striking commentary on the constraining love of Christ in their hearts.
