See Evans, Masinahikan 199, p. 72; wherein she states, "The 1954 annual report of the General Board of Religious Education, Editorial and Supplies Dept. reported on 'books in the Cree language' and noted that a 'new book of hymns in Cree by Venerable R. Faries was begun and put on sale in 1954." Evans also states that the 1954, and subsequent editions were based on "Farie's original manuscript revised and edited under the direction of H.S. Hughes-Caley, Archdeacon of York (Keewatin).".
