that they came out from Jerusalem
and landed on he west coast OF
America, our story was strangely
familiar for traditions running
through many tribes have It so.
Here is one:
In Iucatan the traditions all
point % q foreign origin for the
race. The early writer's report that
the natives believed their ancestors
to have crossed the sea by q passage
which was opened up for them.

"Only last summer at one OF our
meetings certain man OF one OF the
Oklahoma tribes said that he had
always been told that IL was sup
posed that the Indian came from
China; that he did not like much
to be a. Chinaman or Jap, neither
did he believe IL; so he had con-
cluded that. Ike 'Topsy.' ne had

But perhaps one Of tho most
striking ut,erances or the prophets
was that of Ezekial, recorded in the
ith chapter OF the book bearing
his name, which tells of two eagles,
one Of which took the topmost twig
Of the cedars and carried II to dis
tant land where it was planted and
grew and flourished for while, and
withered in the place where 1t grew.
This was typical Of the passage Of
one Of these colonies that came to
America from the west. And the
strange part IS that the Indian today
prizes these two tokens, the eagle
leather and the cedar branch. The
one he wears in his hair and the
other he burns in his tepee or upon
his stove. They are priced among
many things. And why not 80? We
nave engraven Plymouth Rock and

Of that noted pilgrimage. Should
not the Indian perpetrate something
in memory OF Gods kindness in
leading him in like manner to the
