10 He ts considered a saint by them, and they pay him
11 divine honours, addressing him in their prayers as

15 The simplicity and purity of the doctrines taught
16 and inculcated by Nanuk, were the means of draw¬
17 ing towards him many who had troubled them¬
18 selves but little with the complicated structure of
19 the Hindoo religion; polluted, as it had become, by
20 the worship of images and idols. Nanuk at once
21 directed their attention to the one-existing Supreme
22 Deity, who was endowed by him with the great
23 attributes of omniscience, omnipresence, and om¬
24 nipotence. He it was who knew all their actions,
25 ■ : - ' ■ He it was who was
26 and their innermost thoughts;
27 ever present through space and time; the only im¬
28 mortal ; all others perished and were lost! No¬
29 thing was created without Him, and what men
30 viewed with awe and wonder, emanated from His
31 Omnipotent hand. All the events which occurred
32 were regulated by His presence, and every gilt
33 bestowal on man was supplied by His bounty.
34 No place was without His presence. “ * " r "
35 my feet,” said Nanuk, “to where the house of
36 God is not,”— showing clearly that the mine of- the
37 teacher was deeply imbued with the great, truth.
