Bands of traveling Indians, whether friendly or otherwise, were treated with hospitality, and never sent away empty-handed.

They were asked to partake of the abundance and solicited to come again.
A feature by no means insignificant in the popularity of the village was the church bell.

The Indians loved music, and this bell charmed them.

On still nights the savages in distant towns could hear at dusk the deep-toned, mellow notes of the bell summoning the worshipers to the evening service.

Its ringing clang, so strange, so sweet, so solemn, breaking the vast dead wilderness quiet, haunted the savage ear as though it were a call from a woodland god.
"You have arrived most opportunely," continued Mr.Zeisberger.
