mily, weaned from savage habits, and allured by
the superior advantages of civil life, shall ex-
change the tomahawk and scalping knife for the
plough and the hoe; and instead of ranging the
forests in seeming affinity to the wild beasts of desert,
shall peacefully and rationally enjoy
the productions of the fruitful field!—Nor is
this all. Added to the cultivation of the earth,
the first step in the view of the committee,
the first step in the view of the committee,
towards many other important temporal advan-
tages, to be derived o this people from civil
life; may not the promotion of this concern,
which has thus far evidently prospered, prepare
for, and prove the means under the DIVINE BLES-
SING, through which, may finally spread and
prevail amongst these, our fellow-men, that
LIGHT and KNOWLEDGE, which so eminently
distinguish the true CHRISTIAN?
