Work forHome Missions.

Publie Opinion. • : . Out of 40,000 Sioux Indians there are 35,000 still in heathenism. There are sixty-six tribes on the Western prairies for whom nothing is yet done. There are 40,000 Indians of school age; but when every school is packed to its utmost only 12,000 can be accommodated. This includes Government schools Roman Catholic schools and all: so that theee under mission teachers would be far less a number than 12,000.
