"God" is much used at God. Have and elsewhere along the coast. It is rather friable and leaves much ash when burned, but it is an important factor in the lives of the Danes and many of the residents in Danish Greenland. The first building in Godhavn to attract the attention of the traveler approaching from the west, south or east is the Lutheran church, which is situated on high land on the eastern border of the settlement. Local churches and missionaries are maintained throughout Greenland by a Danish Missionary Society with the sanction and help of the Royal Government.
