SIX NATIONS' MISSION HOUSE, HAGERSVILLE, ONTARIO
There are seven tribes, speaking as many dialects. Most of the people, however, have some understanding of English, which is the only language taught in the schools, and some can speak no other.
About two thousand of these Indians still cling to their pagan rites and ceremonies. They have no books, and are opposed to schools. This makes it difficult to reach them with the gospel.
We began work among these Indians a number of years ago, and two churches were raised up. They were left, however, without a worker, and as the result quite a number dropped out. Some have remained faithful, and are doing their part to give the message to others.
Our great need at present is a school where we can teach the children and youth right principles. Remember this work in your prayers.
