A cATEcHIsM FOR INDIANS.
Paradise Painted In More FloSvery Colors
than kanaaa

Paradise Painted In Moro FloWery Colors
than Kansas.
From the papers of Father B1ugas, rrint
ed in The Magazine Of American History,
we take the following extracts from the
Jesuit catechism which was taught to the
Iroquis, Hurons and other Indian tribes
some two hundred years ago:
OF paradise the Indian proselyte asks.
@. How is the country in parsdise-ls it
finer
The father Jesuit answers: A. 1, is
very besutiful there is no lack Of every
kind of catables, OF all that is necessary to
clothe yourself; you are happy in every
respect; it somebody says, would like TO
be dressed in such q dress. there is The
dress before you in an instant; If he desires
to eat something, Jesus Christ brings it i'm
mediate!y.
Q. D. people work IN heaven? A,
They do nothing whatever. They do not
sew nor do they cultivate the fields, for
they always find the wheat ripe and plenty
of pumpkins and Indian beans, etc.
@. Are the trees the same as here. A.
No; for the trees In paradise are extremely
beautiful, they are always beautiful. Their
leaves always green. and they do not fall
the grass never dies.
O. Is the sun the same as here? Does
il rain! Docs the wind blow? Docs i,
thunder! A. No; Il is always fine wealth
er aud the sky is never cloudy.
q Have they fruits in heaven! A
That IS not impossible.
O. How are the fruits made? A. They
are fine fruits; each tree is so loaded will
them that. although people may gather
| them every day. there is never au end Of II
for as soor as you have eaten one another
grows in its place.
Q. Is it cold in heaveny A. There i.
no winter, but eternal summer.
| @ Are there many inhabitants 10 heav-
en-! A. Yes, q very great number.
Q. Do they Know each other? A
They know each other and are brothers
and sisters; they greet each other and never
refuse or deny anything.
@ Are the inhabitants Of heaven hand
somes A They are very beau iful. &c,
