358 APPENDIX. 
calculated to produce the most fatal consequences through- 
out the country; and have chosen rather to suffer, with 
their teachers and friends, the destruction of their property, 
and even to risk their lives in the protection of their bene- 
factors, than become partakers in the spoils taken from the 
Colonists. 
It is a pleasing and important feature in the history of 
this calamitous affair, that not less than one hundred lives 
of British subjects have been preserved from impending 
destruction through the influence of the Missionaries, aided 
by the exertions of their faithful followers; and if any ad- 
ditional evidence be required to establish the fact that great 
advantages have resulted from the labours of these devoted 
men, the plain and impartial statements in the foregoing 
pages of an individual unconnected with sect or party, 
of scenes which came immediately under his own obser- 
vation, cannot but afford a convincing proof of their utility. 
Thus it is evident that the reason why a greater infiu- 
ence has not been exerted over the various tribes inhabiting 
that country, is that the Missionary efforts have been con- 
ducted on a scale far too contracted for such a vast popu- 
lation ; had the whole country been brought under the same 
moral cultivation as at the Missionary institutions, we should 
not now have to deplore the loss of life and sacrifice of pro- 
perty which this terrible calamity has occasioned. Few can 
have perused the statements contained in these pages, in 
reference to the degraded character of the people, without 
feeling impressed with the conviction, that nothing short of 
imparting the Gospel to the entire population will render 
them a peaceable and happy people.
