The better-disposed Indians, dehvered from the domineering threats of the mere bar- barian, begin to plant the ground and become advocates of civilization, schools and churches. As a fact the Red Cloud and Spotted Tail Agencies, notorious for their scenes of violence, have, under the good influence of this coopera- tion of the troops with the Agent, become within six months a safe field not only for Christian Missions but for woman's part of Christian Mis- sions. "Of this plan of administration... among turbu- lent Indians I have been the open advocate. The man who pursues a straight road will probably cross the path of those who follow tortuous 120 LIFE AND LABORS OF BISHOP HARE courses and cannot hope to advance far without being assailed. I have met with a measure of such experience.

But it may not be out of place for me to state here that while I should have no more hesitation in seeking the protection of the military, if proper occasion should arise, in protecting me from the lawless, while I sought to minister to those who were dis- posed to listen to me, than I should have as a city pastor in appealing to the police to shield me from rowdies who hindered me on the way to my church, I have as a fact made it my habit to travel through the country and to appear in the most tumultuous scenes without any firearm or weapon whatever, and without any protection save such as was afforded by the presence of friendly Indians.
