Dear S. S. Children I tell you this story to try and win you to give heed to the precious story of the Cross -- lest this Pagan Indian -- who knew nothing of Jesus a few weeks ago -- at last enter Heaven before you.

                                                                  Your friend H C --

Dear S. S. children:

   The six Nations or Iriquois  - comprise the Senecas -- Tuscaroras -- Oneidas -- Onandagas -- Mohawks -- Cayugas. They used to protect each other from the invasions of the English French and other Indian tribes. 
   Young King was the son of old Snake also a powerful Chief.
   Young King was very brave in war -- and very wise -- and his people were proud of him.
