The Indians of the pueblos of Lagu-

a religion similar in form to that of
the Aztecs; only that, so far as is

rifice. But they observe in secret
their strange religious rites, and their
cachina, or stone god image, is found
in every house. They also observe the
outward forms of Christianity which
the conquering Spaniards forced upon
them more than three centuries ago.

quest, they found the cross too heavy

and drove the Spaniards from the
country, killing the priests and burn
ing the church buildings. The FIRST
battle in the western world for reli-
giops freedom was on the plains Of
San Ildefonso, D ,ar Albuquerque. They
showed more zeal for what they con
sidered religious freedom than their
ancestors did for personal liberty when
the invaders came. But in the
conquest the Indians were frightened
into submission at the horses of the
beings with boards. The aborigines
had never seen horse, and believed it
to be some powerful engine of destruc-
