UNGAVA 161 



Divine leading of Providence ? Personally, I feel 

 that it is laid on our Church as an extension of her 

 existing work among the Eskimos, and I believe 

 that you and the C.M.S. Committee will acquiesce 

 in this. Being in London in 1897, I called on Mr. 

 Baring-Gould at Salisbury Square, and spoke with 

 him especially about Ungava. He expressed the 

 hope that the way might be made clear for our 

 Church to enter on work there. May God show 

 us His will for Ungava. I do hope you are blessed 

 and cheered in your work at Cumberland Inlet. 

 I wonder if you ever come across any trace of our 

 Missionary Warmow's visit there in 1858. 



In sincere Christian regards, 

 I am, dear friend, 



Yours most truly, 



B. La Trobe. 



The allusion in the end of the above letter is to a 

 Moravian missionary named Warmow, who wintered 

 on the northern shore of Cumberland Sound in a 

 whaling ship in 1858. He was sent out to see what 

 openings existed for missionary work.
