also a very honourable act on his part. I kept the old man to dinner,
and among other things I asked him how he knew it was the Missionary's
party that passed that way. He quickly replied, "By your tracks in the
snow. Indians' toes turn in when they walk, white men's toes turn out."

CHAPTER THIRTEEN.

AN INDIAN LOVEFEAST--MANY WITNESSES--SWEET SONGS OF ZION--THE LORD'S
SUPPER--MEMOIR OF WILLIAM MEMOTAS, THE DEVOTED CHRISTIAN.

Our Lovefeasts and sacramental services were always well attended, if it
