THE CALIFORNIAN PENINSULA. 397 
2. The'words holy, church, God, ghost, communion, grace, will, cross, virgin, 
name, hell, kingdom, bread, trespass, temptation, creator, forgiveness, life, resur- 
rection, Lord, daily, Almighty, third, c., are wanting in the Waicuri language, 
and have either been paraphrased, when it was feasible, or replaced by corre- 
sponding Spanish words, in order to avoid too lengthy and not very intelligible 
esentences. Some words that could be omitted without materially changing the 
sense, such as daz/y in the Lord’s Prayer, and Lord in the Creed, have been 
entirely dropped. 
3. The sentence “he shall come to judge the living and the dead” could not 
be literally translated, because the Californians are unable to comprehend the 
moral and theological sense of that passage and others of similar character. 
Nor could they be taught in the Creed that the flesh will live again, for by 
“flesh” they understand nothing but the meat of deer and cows. ‘They would 
laugh at the idea that men were also flesh, and consequently be led to believe in 
the resurrection of deer and cows, when they were told that the flesh will rise 
again on the day of judgment. 
4. In the Waicuri language Heaven is usually called aéna, that is, the above ; 
and also, but less frequently, tekerekddatemba, which means curved or arched 
earth or land, because the firmament resembles a vault or arch. Hel/ they have 
been taught to call the fire that never expires; but this expression is not em- 
ployed in the Waicuri Creed. 
The Lord’s Prayer in the Waicuri language, with a literal translation, showing the exact 
succession of the words. 
Kepé-dare tekerekfdatemba dai, ei-ri akdétuiké-pu-me, tshékarrake- 
Our Father archedearth thouart, thee O! that acknowledge all will, praise 
pu-me ti tshie: ectn gracia—ri attime caté tekerekadatemba tshie; ei-

atukiara; kepe kakunja+ pe atacara tshie. Amen. 
evil; us protect from evil and. Amen. 
The same in a less literal translation. 
Our Father, Thou art in the Heaven; O that all people may acknowledge and praise Thee! 
O that we may have Thy grace and Heaven! O that all men may obey Thee here in the 
world as obey Thee who are above! Our food give us on this day, and forgive us our sins, 
as we also forgive those who do us harm; and help us that we may not desire anything 
sinful, and protect us from evil. Amen. 
The twelve articles of the Creed literally translated.
