	John Eliot - LoveToKnow 1911
		ELIOT, JOHN (1604-1690), American colonial clergyman, known as the "Apostle to the Indians," was born probably at Widford, Hertfordshire, England, where he was baptized on the 5th of August 1604.
		Eliot induced the Massachusetts General Court to set aside land for their residence, the same body also voting him Do to prosecute the work, and directing that two clergymen be annually elected by the clergy as preachers to the Indians.
		Yet at Eliot's death, which occurred at Roxbury on the 21st of May 1690, the missions were at the height of their prosperity, and that the results of his labours were not permanent was due only to the racial traits of the New England tribes.

	John Eliot
		John Eliot (1604—1690), American colonial clergyman, was born probably at Widford, Hertfordshire, England, where he was baptized on the 5th of August 1604.
		Eliot’s Bible did much more than bring the Gospel to the pagan natives who were worshiping creation rather than the Creator… it gave them literacy, as they did not have a written language of their own until this Bible was printed for them.
		Eliot recognized that one of the main reasons why the native Americans were considered "primitive" by European settlers, is that they did not have a written alphabet of their own.

		ELIOT, John, first styled "the Indian apostle" by Thomas Thorowgood in 1660, a designation so appropriate that it has secured universal and perpetual acceptance, born probably in Widford, Hertfordshire, England, as there is a record of his baptism in that parish on 5 August '1604; died in Roxbury, Massachusetts, 21 May 1690.
		Eliot : "That he had entered into holy orders in the Church of England before he left home is evident from the insertion of his name in the list given by Neal of the emigrant clergy." The Church of England was then dealing rigorously with those who did not conform to her doctrines and ordinances.
		Eliot was convinced that the Indians must give up their roving habits and become members of settled communities before they could make much progress in the Christian life.
