Very kindly they gave Mr. Duncan a quantity of ropes, blocks, etc., but even then they sailed away in considerable scepticism as to the possibility of unskilled red men raising a large and lofty church. In January, 1874, Mr. Duncan wrote:
'Who rules o'er freemen should himself be free . 'Who drives fat oxen should himself be fat. He was pleased with the kindness of Mr. Cator, who was joined with him in Mr.
