Excerpt from The Jesuit Relations And Allied Documents, Vol. 61: Travels And Explorations Of The Jesuit Missionaries In New France, 1610-1791, The Original French, Latin, And Italian Texts, With English Translations And Notes; All Missions, 1677-1680
The missionaries among the Iroquois are greatly persecuted, and suffer much from the insolence of the drunken savages, and of those who are trying to renew the war against the French. Nevertheless, all report an unusual number of baptisms, many of these being conferred on infants and others who have gone to swell the Church triumphant. The Christian chief Garakontié is dead. Lamberville writes a glowing eulogy of his piety, zeal, and virtue, and his kindness to the French; and describes his last hours, and his dying efforts to commend to his people the Christian faith, and friendship with the French.
