White is grateful that McMaster has published his last correspondence concerning White Earth Mission, Minnesota, and he sends another article to draw this important mission to the attention of the Catholics. The Chippeway Indians are almost Catholic by nature and they want nothing else. Protestants can prevent them to some extent from becoming Catholics but they cannot make them Protestants. Bishop Whipple has his fellows working on the mission teaching school during the week and preaching on Sundays but those men are usually not acceptable to the Indians and are not successful. If 6 priests could be employed, the Catholics would have the whole mission within a year, and this conclusion is justified by facts. The Benedictine Monastery is unable to support so many priests in one mission. Work has ceased on the monastery Church but the men are still being used to build a church, school, and pastoral residence for the Indians. The church will have to wait until next year. The mission needs help and is determined to get it in some way. The Indian Bureau has collected money and handed the mission to the Protestants but the Indains want to be Catholics and with a little aid they could all be converted. If some rich, charitable persons were to donate $500. a year that would maintain one priest at the mission. The conastery is supplying 2 priests and 3 sisters there already, but cannot supply any money. If some sort of notice was to be put in the Freeman's Journal some charitable person might see it and great benefits result. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 2pp. 12mo.
