HEWITT) MYTH OF THE EARTH-GRASPER 583 



has severally ordained, and which one employs in reference to the 

 mind; so then, that shall come to pass for that one who uses, as a 

 means, that which is not right, and who has not love for persons, 

 and not for peace; and, so then, when that one exhausts his or her 

 allotted number of days on the earth, that one will depart, then, that 

 one will take the path that leads to the place where my brother 

 abides and that one will arrive at the place where his lodge is, and, 

 then, that one will see great suffering, and next, that one will be 

 famished, and that one shall greatly suffer forever, and that one shall 

 share the fate of my brother. Indeed, he is not now at liberty; 

 1 have confined hmi, and 1 have kindled for him a fire, and for this 

 purpose I used his anger; it is plainly manifold times hotter than the 

 heat of the fire which you have. So then, it shall never go out, and 

 the reason of it is that now he is contending for it and he desires that 

 he shall control all minds among hiunan beings, who dwell upon the 

 earth. So then, now, I have told you both things which will come to 

 pass. WTiichever one will choose, one must obey it. Now, then, I 

 will tell you that, in so far as I am concerned, I shall not come once 

 more. Now, verily, I have finished my three visits here. So then,

 shall aid you human beings dwelling upon the earth. He will aid 

 me also. So then, oidy twice shall it be repeated that it will so come 

 to pass, that I shall send one to you to aid you in mind, so that you 

 might continue to live. When the third comes, then you will see 

 what shall come to pass upon the earth. So then, in reference to that, 

 that will commence far from the climax that you will notice that all 

 things upon which you live will gradually decrease m quantity, all 

 things that grow on the earth shall all grow less in power, and shall 

 grow less in quantity, and finally shall come to the point when it 

 shall come to pass that nothing more can grow, and the like thing 

 shall come to pass in regard to the anmials, begiimmg with the small 

 animals that fly about, they shall continue to diminish in numbers 

 until the time shall come when you will be surprised that you will see no 

 more of them; and the same thuig shall come to pass with regard to 

 the large annuals upon which you live, they shall continue to decrease 

 in numbers until that time shall arrive when you will be surprised that 

 you will see no more of them; after this period, then just only mys- 

 terious things shall occur day after day, and also, night after night, 

 also on the earth; so then, awe-inspiring things shall come to pass 

 in succession, the earth shall quake (and) now, also, those things shall
