Acts 13:9-11 Then Saul, (who also is called Paul,) filled with the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him.… Unprincipled white men have often been great stumbling blocks in the way of Indian evangelisation.

Leaving all at the shore, he went up to the camp, and, inviting the Indians down, brought forth his bottle. "Come," he said, "we always good friends; we once more take a good drink in friendship." "No," said Captain Paudaush, "we drink no more of the fire waters." "Oh, but you will drink with me; we always good friends"; but while this son of Belial was urging them to drink, the Indians struck up, in the tune of Walsall, the hymn they had lately learned to sing — "O for a thousand tongues to sing The great Redeemer's praise!"And while the Indians were singing, this bacchanalian, defeated in his wicked device, and looking completely crestfallen, paddled away from the island, leaving the Indians to their temperance and their religious devotions!
