But although Young King was terrible to hostile Indians and could be vanquished by none -- he had one enemy before he fell weak and powerless as a child.

   He was the Star of that Terrible "Mind Destroyer" -- Fire Water -- This cruel Master once led him into a drunken frolic - where he lost his left arm. At another time under similar circumstances the forefinger of his right hand. - His once noble face was marred sadly by this same demon -- Fire Water. Poor Young King! 
   But I have better things to tell you of this Indian Warrior - 
   In his old age - he became a Christian
   After that not a drop of the terrible fire water touched - lined out; ever wet -lined out his lips.
   He became as much opposed to it -- as he had before loved it.
   He hated it with a deadly hatred.
   Now, children, doesn't this show the power of the Gospel? - Young King was no cowardly Soldier of the Cross. He knew he must fight against that besetting? sin. - and he knew unclear he had a Captain strong enough to help him
