Smet (P.J.) — Coutiinied. 



Belgium in search of missionaries, De Smet, 

 ■with flvo other students, volunteered to accom- 

 pany him, and sail from Amsterdam in 1821. 

 After a short stay in Philadelphia, De Smet 

 entered the Jesuit novitiate at "Whitemarsh, 

 Md. Here he took the Jesuit habit. In 1828 

 he went to St. Louis and took part in establish- 

 ing the University of St. Louis, in which ho 

 was afterwards profes.sor. In 1838 he was sent 

 to establish a mission among the Pottawatta- 

 mies on Sugar Creek. He built a chapel, 

 erected a school, which was soon crowded with 

 pupils, and in a .short time converted most of 

 the tribe. In 1840 he begged the bishop of St. 

 Louis to permit him to labor among the Flat- 

 heads of the Rocky Mountains, and set out on 

 April 30, 1840. He arrived on July 14 in the 

 camp of Peter Yalley, where about 1,600 Indians 

 had assembled to meet him. "With the aid of an 

 interpreter he translated the Lord's prayer, the 

 Creed, and the Commandments into their lan- 

 guage, and in a fortnight all the Flatheads 

 knew these prayers and commandments, which 

 were afterward explained to them. In the 

 spring of 1841 he set out again, and, after pass- 

 ing through several tribes, crossed the Platte 

 and met at Fort Hall a body of Flatheads who 

 had come 800 miles to escort the missionaries. 

 On September 24 the party reached Bitterroot 

 River^where it was decided to form a permanent 

 settlement. The lay brothers built a church 

 and residence, while De Smet went to Colville 

 to obtain provisions. On his return ... he 

 remained in the village, familiarizing himself 

 with the language, into which he translated the 

 catechism. He then resolved to visit Fort 

 Vancouver; ... on his return to St. 

 Mary's he resolved to cross the wilderness 

 again to St. Louis. There he laid the condition 

 of his mission before his superiors, who 

 directed him to go to Europe and appeal for aid 

 to the people of Belgium and France. He sailed 

 from Antwerp in December, 1843, with five 

 Jesuits and six sisters, and reached Fort Van- 

 couver in August, 1844. In 1845 he began a series 

 of missions among the Zingomenes, Sinpoils, 

 Okenaganes, Flatbows, and Koetenays, which 

 extended to the watershed of the Saskatchewan 

 and Columbia, the camps of the wandering 

 Assiniboins and Creeks, and the stations of 

 Fort St. Anno and Bourassa. He visited Europe 

 several times in search of aid for his missions. 

 During his last visit to Europe he met with a 

 severe accident, in which several of his ribs 

 were broken, and on his return to St. Louis he 

 wasted slowly away. — Appleton's Cyclop, of 

 Am. Biog.
