Meanwhile, he was observing Siksigak, who, in his agony and confusion, was turning the spoon in his hand, and bringing it to his mouth empty, apparently without knowing what he was about. Kapik, still more distracted than his companion, threw his spoon from him and rushed out of the house.
Kohlmeister, who thought some accident had befallen him, turned round in an indifferent manner and asked him what is your name? Kapik, supposing the question addressed to him, answered, "Kapik." "And will you always continue to be Kapik?" said Kohlmeister.
The frequent visits of the Hopedale Esquimaux were made very useful to the congregation at Nain; many of whom moved to Hopedale, among whom were Siksigak and Kapik, who wished to reside where they had been so powerfully laid hold of by the grace of Jesus; "and," to use their own expressions, "be there thoroughly converted to Him" hoping to receive much advice and assistance from the believers at Hopedale; and being afraid that their old heathen associates might hinder their progress at Nain; nor could they bear the thought of remaining longer at a place where they had spent their former lives in sin, and might again be led into temptation.
He spoke to every member of the congregation separately; and when they had given their assent to the contents of the letter, he made them, in a fellowship meeting, solemnly promise to give up their feasts with their heathen neighbours, and withdraw from the government of Kapik, a powerful Angekok in Avertok.
Mutual affection of the Christian Esquimaux and Greenlanders their correspondence letter from Timothy, a baptized Greenlander. Delight of the Esquimaux in religious exercises. Order of the congregations distressing events, apostasy of Kapik awful end of Jacob peaceful death of believers Judith, Joanna. Revival among the communicants. A feast by a Christian brother, to the Esquimaux.
Several others made similar declarations. While this heavenly flame was in full blaze at Hopedale, two young Esquimaux, Siksigak and Kapik, arrived there from Nain, February 1805. Their parents were both baptized; they were as wild as the wildest of the heathen.
He burst from them, and in the greatest distress ran to brother Kohlmeister's, where Kapik was waiting for him with the greatest impatience. Provisions being placed before them, Kohlmeister sat down to write at a table with his back turned to them.
He followed this counsel, and that same night was delivered from all his distress, and could believe that his sins were forgiven. Kapik had spent the same night restless and almost hopeless convinced that he deserved, and afraid that he would be everlastingly lost.
The most remarkable were Kapik and Jacob; the former had been baptized by the name of Thomas, and his declarations breathed, or seemed to breathe, the very essence of a more than ordinary spirituality.
He was met at the door by another missionary who, seeing his wild appearance, asked him, "Will you never change your life never be converted?" "I know nothing about conversion," replied Kapik, and went off in a rage.
