Egerton Young gives below an experience as missionary to the Indians of
British Columbia. He shows the spirit of Him who shared the sorrows of
man to save the world:
I have seen Indians eighty years of age who never saw a loaf of
bread, or a cake, or a pie. When my wife and I went out there we
lived as they did; we lived on fish twenty-one times a week for
months together, and for weeks together we did not average two
good meals a day. For years we did not begin to live as well as
the thieves and murderers in the penitentiaries of Great Britain
and America. But it was a blest work, and we were happy in it.
