Excerpt from History of the Wyandott Mission, James Dunn Marietta at Upper Sandusky, Ohio: Under the Direction of the Methodist Episcopal Church IN presenting this volume to the Christian public, the author claims no other merit than that of giving a plain narrative of facts which fell under his own observation, or which are derived from authentic sources. In early life he became acquainted with the Indian tribes border. Ing on our frontier, and acquired considerable knowledge of their history and traditions - their manners and cus toms - their religion and modes of worship; and having been subsequently several years a missionary to the Wy andotts, at Upper Sandusky, he is enabled to give a rela tion of all that pertains to the introduction and success of the Gospel among them.

Reverend Finley's work at the Mission began in 1819. It has been generally overlooked as an important item of Afro-Americana. For five years, John Stewart, an African apostle struggled and wrought alone, until the Methodist authorities recognized his labors, and assumed their jurisdiction.

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."
