their homes and land. Many of the red people followed Thayandenaga but many did not go out of the valley. Those who stayed, broken in spirit and pride, were led by Cornplanter, son of a white man and a Seneca Squaw. He influenc- ed his people to agree with the a white men to give them more of their land. His brother, Ganeodaio, called Hansome Lake, became prophet to his people, preaching to the Iroquois Nations for many moons until he died and was car- ried into the Great Beyond Giche Manitou. to
The new White Nation made a small place for the Iroquois, giv- ing them some little land in the Mohawk Valley. The white men built for them houses of worship the Great Spirit and other houses to learn of the customs and wis- dom of the white people.
Giche Manitou has watched ov- er the valley of the Mohawk for many generations. He has seen the power and glory of the Iro- quois Nations crumble into dust and be forgotten.
The Literature of the Mohawk Valley
The early literature of the Mo- hawk Valley consists mostly of journals, such as those of the Moravian Missionary, Brother Da- vid Zeisberger, which tells of the missions of 1752-55 among the In- dians. Perhaps the most interest- ing of the early literature is that of the translation into the Mo- hawk dialect of the Acts of the Apostles and a short history of the Bible, also an explanation of the Anglican catechism which was done by John Stuart with the aid of Joseph Brant. This is known as the "Mohawk Bible."
Among the literature about the Mohawk Valley are pamphlets published by the St. Johnsville En- terprise and News of St. Johns- ville, New York. Three of these
pamphlets I have found of espec- ial interest. They are "Nick Spen- Brooder," by L. N. Nichols. The- third is by Reverend W. N. P. Dailey and William Pierrepont. White, the title of which is "Sir William' Johnson, Baronet." Some other interesting pamphlets in- clude "The Old Palatine Church," "History of Old Herkimer" and others.
L. N. Nichols' tales of "Nicla. Spencer's, Mighty Hunter" are, reminiscent of Cooper's character Leatherstocking. There are strik- ing similarities between the two heroes. Their virtues of kindness. love of nature, prowess as hunters and trappers, keenness of mind, swiftness of action, nobility of: character. Both, also were "Gen- tlemen woodsmen." Nick Spencer" and Natty. Bummpo each had a. faithful Indian
companion to: share his colorful experiences. However, Nick Spencer had an ex- perience which the author of "Leatherstocking Tales" could not: claim for his hero. He is said to. have reached the country in the. west which is now Yellowstone. Park, to have returned home with tales of the marvelous scenes he saw which were incredible to his listeners. When age and civiliza- tion began to close in about the- two heroes, they both turned their footsteus toward the west and were never more seen.

The Mohawk Valley
By J. Marguerite Porter 7545 University Avenue La Mesa, Calif. (Continued from last week)
After some days two braves from Fort Stanwix made their way through the lines of their enemies under cover of the dark- ness of a great storm when Giche Manitou's wrath was in the skies. They fled to the fort from which General Herkimer had led hls forces There they found the War Chief of the Mohawk Valley, chos- en to lead the rebels, Benedict Arnold, and told him of their needs Benedict was a wary and clever man, and when a white squaw came to beg him to free her son, a wild man, Hon Yost Schuyler, he listened to the words she spoke. A plan was bullt and Hon Yost Schuyler ran to the In- dians at Fort Stanwix. Knowing spirits, the Iroquols hearkened to his cries that the rebels had gath- ered a great number of braves and were coming to sweep down upon them, and fled before the enemy arrived. The men led by St. Leg- er ran in terrible fright from the scene of the fort.
When Thayandenaga and the white men made the discovery that they had been deceived, they were filled with fury and revenge. Walter Butler,the white man, son of John Butler who led the men of the green coats, met with Thayandenaga near Cherry Val- ley and together they laid waste the village, the Indians killing with terrible fury.
Again the Iroquois went forth Minisink. Giche Manitou still fav- ored them, for they were vletor- lous, but now the rebels gathered a great force and punished the Indians by burning and ruining

ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S PRAYER
(Contributed by W. N. P. Dailey)
Lincoln was not usually regard- ed as an active religious man, yet all through his life the spiritual characteristics of the great Eman- cipator sparkle in his speeches and deeds. In Robert Sherwood's three act drama, "Abe Lincoln in Illinois," Raymond Massey's re- cital of the following prayer by Lincoln stirs our soul to its pro- foundest depths and brings out the Christian nature of the mar- tyr president.
The scene is in the second act. Seth Gale, an old acquaintance of Lincoln, with his wife Aggie, and little Jimmy, are camped with their open wagon on the prairie near New Salem. The boy has been seriously ill with swamp fev- er, and a turn for the worse de- velops. Albe calls on them and asks if he can do any thing for them. Seth and Mrs. Gale respond to Lincoln's offer to "try and speak a prayer" for them. And this was the petition he offered:
"O God, the Father of all liv- ing, I ask you to look with gentle mercy upon this little boy who is here, lying sick in his covered wagon His people are travelling far, seeking a new home in the wilderness, to do your work, God, to make this earth a good place for your children to live in. They can see clearly where they're go- ing, and they're not afraid to face all the perils that lie along the to
way. I humbly beg you not take their child from them. Grant him the freedom of life. Do not condemn him to the * imprison- ment of death. Do not deny him his birthright. Let him know the sight of great plains and high mountains, of green valleys and wide rivers. For this little boy is an American, and these things be- long to him and he to them. Spare him, that he too may strive for the ideal for which his fath- ens have labored, so faithfully and for so long. Spare him and give him his father's strength, and give us all the strength, 0 God, to do the work that is be- fore us. I ask you this favor, in the name of your son, Jesus
to set men free. Amen.
