but the land of stones and rocks, frightful

and ill shaped…in short, I dream rather

than otherwise that it is the land God

Gave to Cain.”

ARTIFACTS PALEO-ESKIMOAndDORSET

At the invitation of Holy Roman Emperor Sigismund, who granted him a safe-conduct, Huss presented himself in 1414 at the Council of Constance to justify his views. The council refused to recognize his safe-conduct, and Huss was imprisoned and tried as a heretic. Huss denied some of the beliefs attributed to him; others he refused to modify unless convinced of their error. The council condemned his writings and sentenced him to be burned at the stake, where he died heroically. By his death he became a national hero. He was declared a martyr by the Univ. of Prague, and the modern Czech Protestant church claims to continue his tradition.

HEBRON Moravian missionaries, a religious group, originating in Bohemia in the late 15th Century, came toNain Labrador in 1771. Hebron was established in 1837 and abandoned in 1959.
