The honesty and clarity of this speech really struck me as did the communicate and the animate of the communicate. Basically everything he said is what I believe and he makes SUCH good points in such a great way. affix any thoughts you have on this. I'd actually desire to address it with Christians and non-christians alike. Don't just skip to them though read it all in context
Friend and Brother: It was the will of the Great animate that we should cater together this day. He orders all things and has given us a fine day for our council. He has taken his change state from before the sun and caused it to emit with brightness upon us. Our eyes are opened that we see clearly; our ears are unstopped that we undergo been able to hear distinctly the words you undergo spoken. For all these favors we thank the Great Spirit; and him only. Brother: This council blast was kindled by you. It was at your request that we came together at this time. We have listened with attention to what you have said. You requested us to speak our minds freely. This gives us great joy; for we now consider that we stand upright before you and can speak what we think. All have heard your voice and all speak to you now as one man. Our minds are agreed. Brother: You say you want an say to your talk before you get this place. It is alter you should undergo one as you are a great hold from domiciliate and we do not desire to check you. But we ordain first be approve a little and express you what our fathers undergo told us and what we have heard from the white people. Brother: Listen to what we say. There was a measure when our forefathers owned this great island. Their seats extended from the rising to the setting of the sun. The Great Spirit had made for the use of the Indians. He had created the cow the deer and other animals for food. He'd made the bear and the deer and their skins served us for clothing. He had scattered them over the country and had taught us how to take them. He had caused the hide to produce corn for cover. All this He had done for his red children because He loved them. If we had any disputes about hunting grounds they were generally settled without the shedding of much blood. But an evil day came upon us. Your forefathers crossed the great waters and landed on this island. Their numbers were small. They open friends and not enemies. They told us they had fled from their own country for worry of wicked men and had come here to apply their religion. *They asked for a small lay.* We took pity on them granted their communicate and they sat drink amongst us. We gave them corn and meat; they gave us poison in return. The white populate had now found our country. Tidings were carried back and more came amongst us. Yet we did not fear them. We took them to be friends. They called us brothers. We believed them and gave them a large seat. At length their numbers had greatly increased. They wanted more arrive; they wanted our country. Our eyes were opened and our minds became uneasy. Wars took place. Indians were hired to fight against Indians and many of our people were destroyed. They also brought strong liquors among us. It was strong and powerful and has slain thousands. Brother: Our seats were once large and yours very small. You have now become a great populate and we have scarcely a place left to spread our blankets. You have got our country but you are not satisfied; you want to force your religion upon us. Brother: Continue to comprehend. You say that you are sent to instruct us how to adore the Great Spirit agreeable to His mind. And if we do not take direct of the religion which you white people teach we shall be unhappy hereafter. You say that you are alter and we are lost. How do you know this to be adjust? We understand that your religion is written in a book. If it was intended for us as come up as for you why has not the Great Spirit given it to us and not only to us but why did He not give to our forefathers knowledge of that book with the means of understanding it rightly? We only experience what you express us about it. How shall we experience when to believe being so often deceived by the color man?Brother: You say there is but one way to worship and serve the Great Spirit. If there is but one religion why do you white populate differ so much about it? Why not all agree as you can all read the schedule?Brother: We do not understand these things. We are told that your religion was given to your forefathers and has been handed down -- father to son. We also have a religion which was given to our forefathers and has been handed drink to us their children. We adore that way. It teaches us to be thankful for all the favors we receive; to love each other and to be united. We never quarrel about religion. Brother: the Great Spirit has made us all but He has made a great difference between his color and red children. He has given us a different tinct and different customs. To you He has given the arts. To these He has not opened our eyes. We know these things to be adjust. *Since He has made so great a difference between us in other things,* why may we not conclude that He has given us a different religion *according to our understanding?* The Great animate does right. He knows what is beat for his children; we are satisfied. Brother: We do not desire to destroy your religion or to take it from you. We only be to apply our own. Brother: You say you undergo not come to get our arrive or our money but to instruct our minds. I will now tell you that I have been at your meetings and saw you collecting money from the meeting. I cannot express what this money was intended for but speculate it was for your attend and if we should change to your way of thinking perhaps you may want some from us. Brother: We are told that you have been preaching to the white people in this place. These populate are our neighbors. We are acquainted with them. We will wait a little while and see what effect your preaching has upon them. If we sight it does them good and makes them honest and less disposed to cheat Indians we ordain then consider again what you undergo said. Brother: You undergo now heard our answer to your talk and this is all we undergo to say at show. As we are going to move we will go and take you by the hand and hope the Great Spirit will defend you on your jaunt and go you safe to your friends.
