KAH- GE-GA- GAH-BOWH. 51

A steamboat runs from Gore’s Landing to Peterboro

once a day. The village of the Ojebwas is on the north ; the land

gradually slopes towards the water. Its farms, church, school house, and council house can be seen at a con- siderable distance. It was here where the Rev. JAMES EVANS, whose obituary was noticed in the following manner in the “ Albany Evening Journal,” December 22, 1846, first taught an Indian school.

“Suddenly, on the 23d of November, at Keelby,

England, Rev. JAMES EVANS, for many years a Wes- leyan missionary in Canada, and the territory of the Hud- son Bay Company. On Sunday, the 22d, he preached twice, and on Monday evening 23d, spoke at a mission- ary meeting, with great fervency. He had complained ofa Slight indisposition, previous to the meeting; but after he had finished his address, he said that ‘ his in- disposition had been completely removed.’ Soon after his head fell back, and life was gone.”

He was a missionary in every Sense of the word. From Rice Lake, he went to Lake Superior, and after- wards to the Hudson Bay Territory, where he labored with much Success. His precious life was spent in re- scuing the Ojebwa nation from misery and degradation. Fatigue and hunger were often his companions; but the power of living faith was that on which his soul feasted. O thou man of God, enviable are thy labors,

thy rest, and thy glory! I, myself, Still hold in Sweet remembrance the sacred truths which thou didst teach

me, even the commands of the MOST HIGH! Jllemory, like an angel, will still hover over the sacred Spot, where first you taught me the letters of the alphabet.
