Excerpt from The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents, Vol. 11: Travels and Explorations of the Jesuit Missionaries in New France, 1610-1791

The writer then praises the good conduct of the French colonists, and their lively interest in the re ligious services held by the missionaries. A vivid and ingenuous description is given of the fireworks with which was celebrated the feast of the glorious Patriarch, Saint Joseph, -whereat the simple sav ages were filled with astonishment and delight. The new governor avails himself of this opportunity to warn the natives that the French are more power ful than the demons, and command the fire. The peace and good order prevailing in the colony are largely ascribed to the piety and ability of the gov ernor, who is a firm friend of the missionaries, and treats the Indians with the utmost kindness.
