Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Taopi and His Friends, or the Indians´ Wrongs and Rights In publishing the following instructive, encouraging and deeply interesting Journal, written by the Rev. S. D. Hinman at the Santee Indian Mission, and Bishop Whipple´s pathetic address made at the funeral of Taopi, it is evidently proper that an historical sketch of the Mission should accompany these papers. The preparation of such a sketch naturally devolves upon one who has the official supervision of the Mission under the sanction of the Board of Missions and of Bishop Clarkson, with the approval also of Bishop Whipple and the Rev. S. D. Hinman. Ignorance concerning Missions to Indians and the consequent lack of faith in them render an account of the origin, progress and prospects of the Church´s Mission to the Sioux nation very important, especially at this extraordinary juncture in Indian affairs. - It is always instructive to trace as far as is possible the preparation of God´s agents who are to lay the foundation for a great Missionary work, therefore let us briefly consider the characters engaged in this Mission. First, a man of purity of character, ready sympathy and fervid eloquence, was made wise in the things of this world by a mercantile training, and then called of God to enter the sacred ministry. The Spirit of Christ first incited him to preach the Gospel to the poor slave, and then in another sphere to visit the homes and workshops of mechanics, to make himself thoroughly acquainted with their avocations, and then to draw them to a free Church, where they were cordially welcomed and won to Christ.
