Book excerpt: Excerpt from Periodical Accounts Relating to the Missions of the Church of the United Brethren, Established Among the Heathen, Vol. 8 The number of baptized Cherokees is now seven; and among them is that excellent head-man of the nation, Charles Renatos Hicks, who, with such ability and integrity, concluded the last treaty with the United States; the ground-work, I make no doubt, of a future incorporation of that nation, with the United States people. Indeed, the prospect of this Mis sion. Begins to brighten every way; and we are now most dis tressed on finding ourselves unable to provide missionaries suf. Ficient, who might go forth as labourers in that vineyard. Others, therefore, may, perhaps, reap what we have sown. But we will not repine, if but the Lord's harvest be really gathered in, to Him well pleasing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
