[Gutenberg 51262] • The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 6: Quebec, 1633-1634

Excerpt from The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 56: Travels and Explorations of the Jesuit Missionaries in New France, 1610-1791; The Original French, Latin, and Italian Texts, With English Translations and Notes; Lower Canada, Iroquois, Ottawas, Hudson Bay; 1671 1672

At Sault Ste. Marie, one hundred and forty-five baptisms are recorded. A Church has recently been built there, which is the object of much admiration, from Frenchmen as well as savages. The rest of the report from this mission is occupied with accounts of miraculous cures wrought by prayer and holy water. These wonders have gone far toward eradicating the two chief vices prevalent among these Tribes, jugglery and polygamy. Those who recognize only the true God enjoy perfect health. We see, in fine, Christianity becoming established here, despite all hell.
