&quot;In the afternoon, a whole fleet of canoes made 

 their appearance, and formed a most pleasing 

 scene. The party, consisting of from sixty to 

 seventy persons, pitched their tents alongside 

 the Mission Establishment, in order to attend 

 the services of the Lord s day. This was indeed 

 one of the most cheering sights I ever witnessed ; 

 and called forth feelings of the deepest gratitude 

 to God, that He should have inclined the hearts 

 of so many to seek after the way of salvation.&quot; 



Mr. David Jones, on his return to England, Indian Appeal 

 carried, in addition to the appeal quoted a to c M * s 

 double message, both counts of which we may 

 hear to-day with profit: 



&quot;After service at the Indian Church, on the 

 9th of August, the old Chief Pigwys came to Mr. 

 Jones, and said, I send by you a letter to the 

 Missionary men in England: tell them not to 

 forget me : I want the Word of Life to be always 

 spoken in my land. 



&quot;Another Indian, who appeared to take the lead 

 among the Muscaigoes, sent a similar message, 

 adding with much vehemence of gesture: Tell 

 them to make haste; time is short, and death is 

 snatching away our friends and relations very 

 fast; tell them to make haste. &quot;
