The Rev. John West was the first Episcopal missionary who arrived in the Red River Colony (now Winnipeg).
This quote is from his book,
The Substance of a Journal During a Residence at Red River.
It's in response to hearing young native boys recite a prayer that he had taught them.
~ English and French text that it "Etched in Stone" ~
May a gracious God hear their cry, and raise them up as heralds of his salvation in this truly benighted and barbarous part of the world.
John West 1820
Puisse le Dieu miséricordieux entendre leur cri, et susciter des hérauts pour annoncer son salute en cette partie rétrograde et barbare du monde.
