He Sees No Need For Setting Apart

No One Who Is At All Acquainted With The Indian In His Home Can Deny That We Are A Polite People.

Friendship Is Held To Be The Severest Test Of Character. It Is Easy, We Think, To Be Loyal To A Family And Clan, Whose Blood Is In Your Own Veins.

The True Indian Sets No Price Upon Either His Property Or His Labor. His Generosity Is Limited Only By His Strength And Ability. He Regards It As An Honor To Be Selected For Difficult Or Dangerous Service And Would Think It Shameful To Ask For Any Reward, Saying Rather: "let The Person I Serve Express His Thanks According To His Own Bringing Up And His Sense Of Honor. Each Soul Must Meet The Morning Sun, The New Sweet Earth, And The Great Silence Alone!. What Is Silence? It Is The Great Mystery! The Holy Silence Is His Voice!

More Than This, Even In Those White Men Who Professed Religion We Found Much Inconsistency Of Conduct. They Spoke Much Of Spiritual Things, While Seeking Only The Material.

If You Ask Him: "what Is Silence?" He Will Answer, "it Is The Great Mystery! The Holy Silence Is His Voice!" If You Ask: "what Are The Fruits Of Silence?" He Will Say: "they Are Self-control, True Courage Or Endurance, Patience, Dignity, And Reverence. Silence Is The Cornerstone Of Character."
