Mission Meeting
Our annual meeting of the representatives and delegates of all
our Congregational and Presbyterian Dakota Indian churches was
in the edge of the Rosebud Reservation at Opayawoju, Aug. 28
to Sept. 1. This meeting is called
the Ptaya Owohdake, which means
the talk together. The forenoon
of each day is given to general
discussions of the problems of
the Indian churches, and all that
makes for the growth of Christian civilization with the Indians.
Every afternoon the Congregationalists and Presbyterians have
sectional meetings. That means
that the Congregational Association and Dakota Presbytery and
the Dakota Native Missionary
societies have their separate meetings in the  afternoons.
It was quite generally agreed
that the music this year far excelled that at any other mission
meeting. Mr. Philip Frazier led
in the song service at the beginning of each session, and Mr.
and Mrs. Frazier sang solos and
duets that were very much appreciated. A choir, composed of present and former students, directed by Mrs. F.
B. Riggs, was also an interesting feature of
this year's Mission Meeting.
We were honored by having with us at
this meeting Rev. J. A. Johnston, Presbyterian Synodical Executive of South Dakota,
and Dr. G. W. Hinman from the New York
office of the American Missionary Association.
Dr. Hinman had charge of the Sunday afternoon English service, and his interesting sermon held the close attention of the large audience of English speaking Indians and white
settlers. We were happy to have with us, tho
for a few hours, Rev. Jesse P. Williamson
and his son Danforth, also Wm. Williamson.
We were glad to have Rev. Robert Hall,
who is now pastor of the church at Wahpeton, North Dakota, with us every day. He
returned to Bonesteel for over night each
time. Mr. C. R. Lawson and his son Reginald diligenty represented the Santee Press
all thru the meeting. Rev. and Mrs. John
Ferguson and family from Franklin, Indiana
were honored guests of the meeting. They
and the Rev. Philip De Loria and wife were
voted to be honrary members.
When Rev. Rudolf Hertz was sick in the
hospital, and Rev. James Herman, who is
the pastor of the church that invited the
Mission Meeting was only just out of the
hospital, friends everywhere were wondering
how there could be any Mission Meeting because the Opayawoju church members were
few and unorganized. But at the call of
Mr. Hertz Mr. and Mrs. Philip Frazier left
their good missionary work in Oklahoma,
and loaning themselves to our necessities,
they came to the assistance of Mr. Hertz and
Mr. and Mrs. James Herman and all theft
people, and, thanks to all these, the best
preparations ever made for Mission Meeting
were awaiting us at Opayawoju.
Many of our Santee people went to the
Mission Meeting this fall because it was
nearer than usual, and it was an exceptionally good meeting. At the close of the meeting there were three invitations for the next
meeting, one to the White. Clay Church at
Sisseton, another to one of the Crow Creek
churches, and the third was an invitation
from the Porcupine Church on the Pine
Ridge Reservation. The latter place was
I chosen by a vote of 115 against 98.
