Emphasis Preaching Journal

In Algonquin mythology one favorite god is Glooskap. One myth recounts the day Glooskap left earth to travel to his own land far away. On the shore of Lake Minas, Glooskap spread a feast and invited all the creatures from every part of the land. Thousands came to eat, drink, and listen to Glooskap's farewell address. They were not disappointed. Instead of a speech, Glooskap began to sing a sweet, mystic song. While he still sang, Glooskap entered his canoe and began to paddle away. The creatures were sad. They watched in silence until they could no longer see Glooskap and his canoe.
