  a 
  free, 
  translation 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  by 
  Mr 
  Arthur 
  C. 
  Parker. 
  There 
  are 
  

   six 
  preachers 
  of 
  this 
  religion 
  in 
  New 
  York 
  and 
  Canada, 
  and 
  their 
  

   oral 
  teaching 
  does 
  not 
  always 
  agree. 
  On 
  this 
  account 
  an 
  attempt 
  

   has 
  been 
  made 
  to 
  reduce 
  it 
  to 
  writing, 
  but 
  not 
  with 
  perfect 
  success. 
  

   In 
  the 
  version 
  in 
  question, 
  besides 
  preliminary 
  and 
  miscellaneous 
  

   matter, 
  there 
  are 
  94 
  sections 
  of 
  direct 
  instruction, 
  mostly 
  conclud- 
  

   ing 
  with 
  the 
  words, 
  " 
  So 
  they 
  said, 
  and 
  he 
  said 
  it," 
  to 
  show 
  that 
  

   Handsome 
  Lake 
  faithfully 
  transmitted 
  the 
  message 
  given 
  him 
  by 
  

   the 
  four 
  angels. 
  As 
  a 
  specimen 
  of 
  this 
  there 
  follows 
  section 
  14, 
  on 
  

   the 
  correction 
  of 
  children, 
  with 
  Mr 
  Parker's 
  translation 
  of 
  the 
  

   same.

  And 
  now 
  we 
  tell 
  you 
  another 
  story 
  of 
  what 
  people 
  do. 
  

  

  An 
  old 
  woman 
  punished 
  her 
  children 
  unjustly. 
  Therefore 
  the 
  

   Creator 
  is 
  sad, 
  for 
  this 
  is 
  wrong. 
  Bid 
  your 
  relatives 
  cease 
  such 
  

   practices. 
  

  

  So 
  they 
  said 
  it. 
  

  

  So 
  now 
  we 
  show 
  you 
  the 
  Creator's 
  way. 
  Talk 
  slowly 
  and 
  

   kindly 
  to 
  children, 
  and 
  never 
  punish 
  them 
  unjustly. 
  When 
  a 
  child 
  

   does 
  not 
  obey, 
  the 
  mother 
  must 
  say, 
  " 
  Come 
  to 
  the 
  water. 
  I 
  will 
  

   immerse 
  you." 
  If 
  the 
  child 
  does 
  not 
  obey 
  after 
  this 
  warning, 
  she 
  

   must 
  take 
  the 
  child 
  to 
  the 
  water, 
  and 
  just 
  before 
  entering 
  must 
  say, 
  

   " 
  Do 
  you 
  now 
  obey?" 
  And 
  she 
  must 
  say 
  so 
  ?gain, 
  and 
  if 
  at 
  the
