The Wisconsin Reporter notes that tent-meetings are being held by our Indian minister, Brother Matthew Hill, on the Oneida Reservation. The report says: "The Indians are very much interested in their native preacher, and offer him all kinds of help, that he may succeed in this their new enterprise. There was some opposition to Brother Hill's work on the part of the ministers on the reservation, but the government agent informed Brother Hill that he, being a native Indian, had the right to preach to the people." It is not strange to find professed Christians (even ministers) who will oppose the preaching of the Gospel of Christ anywhere; but it would be a strange theory of republican government that would forbid it.
