Out of this raw material there has been wrought a wonderful change. As I have said, the people were good pagans, but, notwith standing their fine qualities, they were savages. They had no religion, properly speaking. They never prayed to God, Who preserves all things. They had some sort of belief in a separate Being, but they never sought His favour or help.

In times past they never met but to fight. I remember not very long ago a thoughtful Christian Indian said to me, Bishop, did you observe anything remarkable in to-day s service?
