[edit] Uncertain utility quotes

Anglican clergy among the Mohawks "have for a century past been in the habit of administering that holy ordinance to notorious drunkards, Sabbath breakers, and whoremongers" (1830)(Smith, 97) Roman Catholics - "they neglect to teach them [the Indians] the depravity of the human heart, and the necessity of coming to Christ alone for pardon and mercy: in this was they make the Indians ten times more the children of the devil than they were before." (1828)(Smith, 97)
