Church amongst the Eskimos. Such members we 

 want, and for such we must toil and pray. 



" As regards literary work, I have spent a goodly 

 portion of my time in the composition of an Eskimo 

 grammar. This will take time yet to finish ; but 

 when completed we hope it may prove useful, and 

 be found simple. 



" I am glad to say that the native teachers con- 

 tinue to do good work, and we have been able to 

 add one to the number since last year. One of 

 the heathen Eskimos has also done much to spread 

 the Gospel amongst his fellow-countrymen. This 

 man (who is named Titikgak) heard the Gospel 

 some three years ago ; he then returned to his 

 hunting-grounds, which are about eight hundred 

 miles from Little Whale River, and through his 

 instrumentality many of the heathen Eskimos are 

 leaving their pagan customs and are desirous of 

 instruction. This fact, I need hardly say, is a 

 source of much joy and comfort to one's soul." 



This review then goes on to speak of another visit 

 paid to Fort George and of the conditions of the 

 Indians.
