" ' Now another message to tell your people. 



" ' This thing will happen when it is new. 



" ' Truly men will repent and reform but it will happen that 

 three certain ones will neither confess nor reform. Nothing will 

 induce them to confess. 



" ' There are grades of sin : 2 the sins of Hasan'owan'e', the sins 

 of Honon'diont and the sins of the ordinary people. 



" ' Now when you are preaching repentance, Gaiant'waka. will 

 say that these men when they pass from this world are most vile. 

 He will say, " Let us cast them into the water for they are not 

 worthy to be dressed for the grave. The Creator will not receive 

 them." Now no one will object to what Gaiant'waka says.' ' : 



Now this thing did happen as predicted and when the messen- 

 ger arose the first thing that he did was to spread the news and give 

 the command that it must not be done. 



" Now they said, ' The Creator will not give up hope of them 

 until they pass from the earth. It is only then that they can lose 

 their souls if they have not repented. So the Creator always hopes 

 for repentance.' " 3 



So they said and he said. Eniaiehuk.
