Excerpt from History of the Wyandott Mission, at Upper Sandusky, Ohio The Wyandott mission was the first established by the Methodist Episcopal Church on our frontier, for the benefit of the Indians. Here it was satisfactorily ascertained that the Gospel and grace of God could effectually change the heart of savage man - reclaim him from ignorance and sin, and confirm him in the practice of virtue and religion. And such was the signal and extraordinary success of this mission, that it encouraged the Church to devise extensive plans for the conversion of other Indian nations, and excited a confidence and liberality adequate for their accomplishment: so that all our missions now among the Indians may be said, in some sense, to have had their origin in the successful experiment made at Upper Sandusky. As this work treats of subjects deeply interesting to the Christian public, especially to all the friends of missions; and as the author is generally and favorably known, we anticipate for it a very extensive circulation. It may be proper for us to say, in conclusion, the history we now present to the public has been revised for the press, under the direction of the publishers; and although the phraseology has been changed in some places, yet no change has been made to vary the sense of the facts, as narrated by the author. We trust this volume will be perused by many with much satisfaction; and that it will greatly subserve the interests of the missionary cause.

Not illustrated. 1840 edition. Excerpt: ...our fire. In the morning, we had prayer, fed our horses, and while eating our breakfast, our two friends, Mononcue and Pointer, joined us. We set out through a thick forest, and traveled a small Indian trail, our way being obstructed by logs and swamps. This morning our pack horse got scared, and ran off with our camp equipage; but we soon caught him, and but little damage was done. Our conversation this day, was varied, comprehending many topics. One, however, seemed to interest my companions; which was, the providence of God over the world. There were many things that seemed dark to their minds, and which they could not solve. For instance, we were passing through a great wind-fall, where every tree was either blown down or broken off. Now, what purpose God could have in sending so strong a wind into this wilderness, or what purpose it was designed to serve, was to them a mystery. I said, " My brothers, if you knew all God's reasons why he does so, you would be as wise as God himself. This we cannotknow now, but we may know hereafter." "But has God the right to break down all these trees, when he pleases I" " 0 yes, he has the right, for he made them; and he has the right to kill and make alive." " There," said Mo-noncue, pointing to one which had been broken off, "there is one that is like me. Almost all my friends are dead, and I am broken off at the top. Many winters have blown on my head, and the frosts of years have whitened it. These saplings fitly represent my children and grand-children. They are growing around my roots, and soon I shall fall into the ground, and they will cover me with earth." We had translated a hymn into Wyandott, and employed ourselves in learning to sing together--" Hail thou blest morn, when the Great...

Excerpt from Selected Chapters From the History of the Wyandott Mission at Upper Sandusky, Ohio: Under the Direction of the Methodist Episcopal Church It was first determined to present the Whole story of the planting of the Mission by reissuing the complete volume, published by Finley in 1840, but upon hearing that the original plates were no longer to be found, and too great expense would follow from re-publishing the complete original volume, 4232 pages, the writer of this introduction determined to offer selected chapters of the old classic in missions, and so discharge the obligation, in part at least, of offering a memorial volume suitable for the centenary. The recital of the life and work of John Stewart cannot better be given than in the words of Finley which fill the early pages of this memorial volume.
