E.rplrnnttion htj the Kn'ralms 



This stanza tells the Cliildren that it is true that tlie knowledge of 

 this ceremony was i?iven to our fathers by the powers above through 

 a vision. We speak of the vision as kasharu, because visions are apt 

 to come in the night when all is still; they then descend, pass over 

 the earth, and come to man. 



This stanza also tells that the man to whom we have brought the 

 Hako is to be made a Son in the way our fathers were directed in the 

 vi.sion. 



Xone of the songs of this ceremonj^ can be changed; they must be 

 sung accurately, just as they have been handed down to us, for the 

 words speak of the powers above and their gifts to us, and we must be 

 careful of such words.
