Description
Excerpt from The Jesuit Relations And Allied Documents, Vol. 51: Travels And Explorations Of The Jesuit Missionaries In New France, 1610-1791; Ottawas, Lower Canada, Iroquois, 1666-1668
CXXI. In Vol. L. Were given Chaps. I. - vii. Of the Relation of 1666-67; the remainder of this docu ment is herewith presented. Allouez''s journal, begun in Chap. Ii., is continued, forming nearly the whole of the Relation. He relates his work among the Ottawa tribes. They are extremely licentious and superstitions, and therefore care little for the gospel; yet many attend the Chapel services and instructions, and he baptizes about eighty children. The savages have lost their former dread of baptism as causing death; they now imagine that this rite Will cure sickness, and raise up the dying. The Father ministers especially to the sick and the dying; he finds only four adults who are worthy of baptism.
