Foreign Missionary Tidings 1898-99.
Pipestone.
Mr. John Thunder, Missionary. - Two services are held each sabbath, with an average attendance of eighteen and twenty-two respectively. There are seven Indian communicants. including the native missionary and his wife, and there was one infant baptism.
The committee regrets the departure of Rev. A.N.Mcquarrie. the minister of the neighboring Home Mission field, who gave a very considerable amount of time and trouble to the over sight of the affairs of this mission. His place has been taken by the Rev.David Spear, who succeeded him as home missionary.
The Indians of this Reserve in proportion to their means contribute very liberally to Christian work. They gave last year 43$ to the schemes of the church, and contributed also towards the building of the new church on the Birdtail Reserve, from which many of them originally came. Mrs. Thunder conducts a very successful sewing class, which makes up into garments the supplies sent by the Women's Foreign Mission Society.
