HEwiTTl MYTH OF THE EARTH-GRASPER 567 



and say, 'Indeed, verily, it is pleasant that thou and I have again 

 met and that we are aHve and in peace. Now, then, we two beseech 

 Him who has formed om* bodies that he shoidd have pity on us, that 

 there should be peace and health during the night, so that still again 

 thou and I should see the dawning of a new day.' " 



Then De'hae'"hiyawa"kho°' said, "All of you have an equal right 

 to this which I have ordained. You will continue to comfort one 

 another, and also you will greet one another with thanksgiving when 

 you will be in the habit of visiting one another's lodges; that may be 

 that you will habitually visit one another's firesides, and also that 

 you wiU severally travel about on the several paths and you will cus- 

 tomarily meet one another, that shall always be the principal thing, 

 that happiness of life shall be the foremost matter, that you shall 

 greet one another with thanksgiving; me also you shall be in the 

 habit of greeting with thanksgiving. So then it will affect us all 

 alike in that we shall all habitually have peace of mind, day after 

 day and night after night. So then do you not ever forget this in 

 the future days that are coming one after another; indeed, a grave 

 thing will actually come to pass if it so be that you will forget peace. 

 You would not continue to live if it so be that so it would come to 

 pass that you will forget it, also j'our children would not continue 

 to live; so then that is the cause that I have laid it down, and also 

 bestowed it. Now you will attend to one another as to your minds 

 (your thinking) here on the earth, and the reason that I have done 

 this is that, indeed, the time is coming nearer and nearer when my 

 brother and I will disagree. 



"And I believe that He, too, will try to let loose on the earth that 

 which will kill human beings; and that, then, is the reason that I 

 have left all things among men upon which they should continue 

 to live. Now, then, it will thus come to pass in the days that are 

 to come, that the time will arrive when there will be divisions be- 

 tween individual minds; also among the various ohwachu-a (Idn- 

 ship groups) there will be nothmg but contentions, that they will 

 continually dispute one with another; and it will thus come to pass 

 that they will see the time when it may be that they will forget hap- 

 piness, also peace, and also when they will forget my person; at the 

 end of that time will it begin that people will be opposed one to 

 another, and now also will they destroy one another; now also fellow- 

 hood (ties of blood) among persons will die out; and then you will see 

 that manifested, that the path on the sky (Milky Way) will divide, 

 and also when it thus comes to pass then at once there will begin to 

 be two minds (divided minds) among men here on the earth." 



At that time he said, "Now, then, I have finished this subject; 

 and now also I will depart for home. I will plainly hear, then, how- 

 ever, when one will speak to me. That, then, shall come to pass,
