Excerpt from Missionary Studies for the Sunday School, Second Series: Great Missionaries to the Red Men; Great Missionaries in the Dark Continent Long before our forefathers came to this country, there lived here men of quite a different race. They were not white, but of a dark bronze color, with high cheek-bones and straight hair as black as a raven. By Columbus, who discovered America, they were called Indians because when he landed here he thought that he had reached India. Their traits of bravery, cunning and endurance are too well known to need comment, and in some cases they have proved themselves also treacherous and revengeful. One marked trait is their keenness of observation. An Indian left his lodge for several days. On his return, some deer meat which he had left hanging on a tree was gone. Instead of asking questions of his neighbors at first, he just used his eyes and then, after a time, went to a wigwam and asked: "Did you see a little old white man with a short gun?" "Did he have a small dog with a short tail?" "Yes," was the reply, "he and his dog took the trail going south."
