/ Porcupine was told that his own
coming had. with eleven others,
been foretoId by the Christ, who
had sent for him, and that was why
he had invOluntarily taken the

though all had not been Individually
I called, as he had.
The Christ spoke TO them and took
Porcupine by the hand. and told
them that they were all his children.
He talked 10 them until il Was day,
telling them that he had made them,
and all the things that they saw
around them; that in the beginning
God had made the earth, and after n
time had sent him on the earth TO
teach the people what WGs right, but
the people were afraid Of him, and
''this is what they did % me,
showing his scars. He said when
he found his children were had he
went back above, and promised 10
return after many hundred years.
Now the time was up, and God had

He said that all :he dead were to he

that the good would live here for

men Of any kind, that hereafter the
whites AMI the Indians would
become one people; that II any
man disOJeyed these teachings he
would he banished from the face Of
the earth; that the iEdilus musthe-
lieve all that he now told them, aEd
not say that he lied, FOR he would
know their thoughts, no matter in
what part Of the world they We're,
ami they could not expect 10 de-
ceive him. Among those whom
POrCupine saw were some who
seemed like white men, but they all
seemed good, there was no irnkiug
or fighting, and all listened and ne-
lievel what the Christ saii 20 them.
During pOTcup!nc's stay OF many
days the Christ several times Ty-
