ped off. Then a little Indian
boy about his age, held out his book that he might teach him, the
white boy complied, and by the time he had showed him three or four
letters, he was unable to contain his grateful feelings, clasped
the white boy round his neck, and began to hug and kiss him.

_June 15th._--A camp-meeting commenced this afternoon on Yonge
street, about twelve miles from York. A large number of white
people have assembled, and about seventy-five Indians. About a
dozen of these embraced Christianity about six months ago, the rest
are heathens from the forest. How interesting a sight that they
should travel forty miles to hear about the Great Spirit, and what

by Rev. John Ryerson, on the sufferings of Christ, followed by Rev.
James Richardson. By this time the concourse of people was

most able and affecting discourse, interpreted by Peter Jones, who
afterwards addressed the white people, telling of the former
degradation of his people, their present happy condition, the
feeble instruments God had made use of to accomplish this glorious
work; he thanked the white people for their kindness, and earnestly
entreated them to pray on, that the good work might go on and
