He waa devoted to Ideals, yet one could not aay that he waa a man of great original genius. But he was sincere, atrong la Jila oonvlotlona and In him aelt. He was a man of alncere piety, of aettled beliefs, and waa fit for the work In which he waa to engage. . It . ' waa a hopeleaa scheme. Indeed that of - educating and civilising tha Indiana of ; that time, but he didn't know It, and therefore dldnt trouble himself .with ' doubts. , Ha believed fully in tha future of thla great Country, yet waa acarcely aware that the Indian could not be a factor In, it On the contrary, (. he thought the Indian might be. Thla waa a mistake. But what he did we a to lead . the way to American colonisation. "Thaecond,,mCwatIaniel Lee, nephew of the former, thoroughly de voted to the Idea of tha mission, young , and ardent, not Idealistic, Mt practical, ' with a world of good common aenee and with a wllUncneaa to work. He la bored In the misslonary'eeuae in Oregon till August. 1848. when he left the eoun try. nsvcr to 'return. The Uf health of his wife required his departure with her.

With the Leea from New Tork came Cyrus Shepard, from Lynn. Maasachu setts. .
