the number present often rising to 130 or 140.  We are glad to welcome them, though with our present force of teachers—­which lack of means forbids us to increase—­the pressure for instruction in English interferes more or less with that gospel teaching which it is our chief aim and our sufficient reward to impart.  Yet an earnest spirit pervades the school, and, indeed in almost all our missions the outlook for harvest seems to me more hopeful than ever before.

A sketch of mission life on the Frontier.

Fort Yates, dak.

I am alone once more, all my company have gone.  The plasterer has just been here and I had to dismantle my house entirely for him; I am therefore too tired to write.  I have been putting up bulberry jelly and am trying to get ready for my company, which will come the first of September and stay until we all go together down to Oahe to the meeting.
