The Strength OF Twenty Men.

When Shakespeare employed this
phrase he referred, of course, to
healthy, able-bodied men. If he had
lived in these days he would have
known that men and women who are
not healthy may become so by taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla. This medicine,
by making the blood rich and pure and
giving good appetite and perfect diges-
ton, imparts vitality and strength to
the system.

some melodies which the Christian Indians had
been long accustomed to sing All the tunes
bear Indian names An examination OF the
hymns In occom's collection reveals the fact
tina, a considerable lumber are not found In earlier
books, and are not noted by hymnologists The
conclusion Is tina, Occom Was the author OF them
All the hymns written by him are assigned to
the period OF dependency which followed his
return rom England.
To Occom should be largely attributed the
emigration of many Christian Indians ~ New
England 10 the Oneida country, whcn they re-
ceived a grant Of land from the Oneida Tribe
This emigration. which was projected before the
Wor q Independence, was carried out after peace
was restored.
The author n the book before us holds that,
" any Of the American aborgines has m"nt"d
the dignity Of being called a statesman, that man
was hanson Occom. lie believed in the efficacy
nj Christian missions and in education, particu
larry Of an Industrial and a technical kind, hut
he seems TO have been convinced that the civt!iza-
ton Of tn Indian depended in large measure
upon his relation to the land upon which he lived
Occom thought that the native would remain a
savage So long as he roamed al large in the forests.
Itw sneedful, he contended, To- gather them apart
from the " hite man, and on land " hich they could
not sell, where they could be taught industrial
pursuits, and obtain a living from the soil. More
over, he believed In maintaining, so far as this
should be possible, a tribal unity, IN establishing
formuf self government under the prntccupn OF IN
we al Stattsa nd in keeping the lnrian' shlord free
from any intrrnisiure,c esp Cial!y from lnterniXture
with the negros. Those principles he sought 90
embody In the Rruthertown settlement, formed
by he Christian lnGian cmigrants from New
England "a the Oneida country,

VI.

II IL a noteworthy fact that OCcom was the
author Of one Of the most effective sermons against
Drunkenness ever delivered II Wa pronounced
In New Haven In September, l772, the occasion
being the prospective execution Of one Moses
Hall, an Indian, for murder. There was at once
d demand for tho publication Of the sermon, and,
within three months, Invent through four editions.
Many other editions were subsequently printed
IN various New England towns, and one appeared
IN the British metropolis. Thirty five years
after Occom's death the same sermon was trans
lated into Welsh and published in Wales This
seems To have been the only printed sermon
preached by an Indian In the eighteenth century
The success Of Occom's discourse on drunken
ness encouraged him to undertake. another ven
