Excerpt from The Apostle of the North, Rev. James Evans
When God wants a man for a peculiar work He knows where to find him. He found Moses among the flocks of Jethro, and Elisha ploughing with the twelve yoke of oxen. Thus has it ever been. When in His infinite wisdom He sees that the time has come to act, His agents are quickly found. He who called Paul and Stephen and Timothy and all the worthies of the apostolic age, has ever been selecting the right men for His glo rious work. Augustine, Wycliffe, Tyndal, Lati mer, Huss, Luther, Knox, Wesley, Whitfield, and scores of Others have by their deeds shown most clearly how the hand of Providence has been at work in their preparation, call and success in the varied positions to which they have been as signed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book tells the story of James Evans, a missionary who dedicated his life to working with Indigenous peoples in Canada. The author traces Evans's journey from his early days as a schoolteacher in Ontario to his later work in the vast and often unforgiving northern territories. Evans was a man of remarkable conviction and resourcefulness. He mastered the languages of the Indigenous communities he served, developed a syllabic writing system for the Cree language, and tirelessly promoted the Christian message. The book explores the complex relationship between European settlers and Indigenous peoples in 19th-century Canada. It highlights the challenges of converting Indigenous communities to Christianity, the often-devastating effects of the fur trade on Indigenous culture, and the persistent struggle for Indigenous rights. Evans's dedication to his calling and his tireless advocacy on behalf of the Indigenous peoples of Canada make this book a moving and insightful account of a critical moment in Canadian history.
