THE EAGLE,
The Legend of the Pipestone...
THE RECENT HEAT WAVE
I am sure we have all been
complainingly enjoying the re
cent heat wave. Isn’t that just
like a human? We complain
in the winter because it was
too cold and there was too
much snow, in the Fall we com
plained that there was too much
rain for that time of year, and
now when all is ideal summer,
we still complain.
Of course the most interest-
ing paradox of all is that we
human beings never seem con
tent with the status-quo. That
is the thing that makes for
progress in our society, but it
sometimes makes malcontents
of us. However, the fact that
we are never physically content
is a good argument for more
spiritual emphasis in our time.
It occurs to me that there is
some balance in the p ysical
by more emphasis on the spiri
tual resources God has placed
at our disposal. We cannot use
our senses to feel this spiritual
resource, but if we look deeply
enough, we may find it.
It is said that Helen Keller,
who can neither see nor hear,
somehow has a great conscious
ness of something similar to
the spiritual aspect of our
physical lives
She has been
able to sense the applause of
audiences and bow appropri
ately. Upon being asked how
she could tell there had been
applause when she can neither
see nor hear, she replied, “I
can feel it in my feet.” Spiri
tual life is like that, we can
not always hear or see it, bat
somehow, “we can fell it in
our hearts.”
That sense of God is what

we need to emphasize in our
times. The greatest discovery
of our age is not the atomic
It would be the
resources,
discovery of what Christianity
can do for our spirits which
should take first place in our
minds.
“Have this mind in
you which was in Christ Jesus,”
we are admonished by Paul.
How can we have the mind of
Christ?
First, we can pray
that our mind may somehow be
made like Christ’s mind. Se
condly, we must read the Word
of Gcd which contains great
thoughts from the mind of
Christ which we should know if
we would be like Christ. Thirdly
our minds work out our sal
vation in the work that Christ
has called upon .us to do,
whether it be in the professional
part of religion or whether it
be in the mill, the business or
the field.
Finally, we must put on the
whole armour of the Lord that
we may be able to stand against
the wiles of the Devil or temp
tation. Jesus had his tempta
tions so there is nothing wrong
in being tempted. It is our
reaction to temptation that
counts.
Although a shorter
word, NO is harder to say than
YES sometimes, but NO is
often the better word in temp
tation.
Although we are complaining
a lot, we humans, next time you
complain about the physical
shortcomings of the Universe,
concentrate a little more on the
spiritual Universe and you may
find solace “from the heat
wave.”
Conclusion
The lgst chapter told of the
first two great battles that were
fought by the two great nations.
The Forest people suffered a
disasterous defeat that day, but
that was only a part of Old Moga
Ska's plans, for he intended the
complete annihilation of Old Sen
tekoda and his tribe, As soon as
darkness had settled down he sent
Unkotomie with a force of picked
warriors, on their fleetest horses,
on
a wide detour to the
south and at daylight swooped
down on the permanent camp of
their enemies. Here was a small
band of warriors, the old men of
the tribe and every female of the
whole tribe. They surrounded the
camp and killed every one; men
women and children. Unkatomie
then marched on to attack the
Forest People in the rear but
found their camp deserted.
Old Sentekoda, enraged by his
defeat of the day before, had ef-
fected the same manouver. With
his whole force he had made a
wise detour to the north, swooped
down on the permanent camp of
the Plains people and killed every
soul there so that now both na
tions were without a female to
prolong the life of the tribe. When
Unkatomie reached his enemie’s
camp he knew at once what had
happened. He sent runners to
his father's camp, brought their
entire army together and fortified
themselves right there in what
had been their enemies' camp. The
Forest people were now cut off
from their avenue of retreat to the
fastness of the forests and must
now fight in the open country.
Almost at once the battle begun.
The Plains People were far out
numbered by the Forest people
but both nations were crazed to
such a pitch of frenzy that they
eared for nothing but to extermin
ate each other. For three days
and nights the battle raged until
some were so famished from want
of food and water that they could
hardly stand. Others crawled on
hands and knees to kill one an
other. So many were killed that
there were streams of blood. The
small ravines ran bank full of
blood. Finally there was only one
warrior left alive, Unkatomie, and
he was half deted with wounds.
There was one other exception,
Wechincha Kachisa, the daughter
of old Sentekoda. When daylight
came the next morning after the
battle, Unkatomie slowly limped
to the top of a little hill to view
the scene of carnage. Looking
across a little valley he saw We
chincha Kachisa standing like a
statue with the first gleams of
the rising sun glinting on her
beautiful hair, He made peace
signs to her and she held out her
hands to him, but between them
was a stream bank full with
blood, Without an instant’s hesi-
tation he leaped in and swam
across, When he stepped ashore
he was covered with blood. He was
a red man. He took Wechincha
Kachisa for his squaw and from
them descended all the Indians of
this country and they are red men.
The blood of those two tribes
flowed down to a lake in which
is now the Pipestone country.
Slowly it hardened, the wind blew
dust and sand over it, the rain
came down and grass grew over it,
After many years it turned to
stone. This is the stone they
mine to this day to make peace
pipes from, It is petrified blood
of two great nations. This is the
story of the pipestone.
