FOR CHRISTMAS EVE "JOURNAL."
Thomas Joseph Luxillo, of Clicin
avra, a Centenarian.
CllEMAWA,Or., Dee. 24, 160S.
A long time ago my people did not
know about God uor about Jesus. A
long tlmo ago when nu Indian raau
aud woniftu sinned ngalnet the rules of
their people they wero hoppled and
whipped.
That's tho way things were dono
amoni; the Indians when there were
plrtity of deer, plruty of fish and coal
ami forests. But by and by another
man catuu here.
It was God's goodness that made the
home of the Indian rich, rich, rich nil
over.
Now you whlto man see mo ralso my
hand aud point it In every direction,
toward my people.
Now, when tho Italian came nnd
found this new land, this Christopher
Columbus was led by God. It whb
God that showed tbo poor white poop o
across tho ocean, this rich country if
ours. Now God has brought over to
this country of ours millions aud mill
ions of people, whlto people, to shuio
this country with tho iudlan, ft r
Indians nro God's people Just the snae
as whites.
Lang ngo thou camo Mr. Brower,
Mr. Wagaus, Mr, Walla, Mr. Hoe,
white people; Mr. Fellows, Father
Wilbur, Jatncn H. Wilbur, Dr. Whit
man, Mr. Bpauldlng. Theso men
camo as lamps to llghton tho darkness
among the Iudlans. Now ovry body
muy bo a Christian. These men came
and preached at Salem, at Orcgou City,
at The Dalles. They told us that the
white men would como here. Now all
of thiso men, these preuohurs, aro dead.
They uro gouo to heaven, too, nftvr a
life of preauhlng and teaching.
Now, everybody Is n Christian nnd
talks of tho gospel. All hnvo churches
where these things nro taught. Bouu
will come thejudgmont day.
I am now nt Chemawa whole
Christ's untrue
Is studied, wlloro his
by teachers and nil of
word Is studied
ttio children,
This Is ust the samo uow uuder tbo
Democratic administration ns undtr
tho Republican. Democrats aud It-,
publloaur are nllko, Christians. When
Mr. lUkcfltraw was noting as superin
tendent he wns tho same as a preacher,
always ready to open the Bible nud
teach Its word to tho pupils. It Is tbo
Bams with Mr. Potter. It Is Just tho
samo now as it Va under tho Repub
lican administration. I nm glad that
the authorities at Washington naked
us to glvo our children lo these sohools.
I gave tnluoand now they are all goue
to heaven. Many others ul my people
have done the samo.
iThut Is alt I cati say uow, by and by
I shall say moro,
Blx or my children hnve dlod In tho
government sohools.
This school Is an Indian sohool. I
have now been here two moults.
Evory day I seo the blblo open befme
me oud I hear tho goodness of O d
spoken of all the time. All peop e
speak about It.
When a man harnesses two hones
nno of them does uot pull we'l and Ihe
other does his part the best ho can; the
work does uot succeed well.
It Is so with Democrats nud Repub
licans Horo both horses work well
and the sohool Is m auocosa.
These children aro wavnly dressed.
They have their breakfasts, their din
nero, their suppers. There are none of
ttiom hungry, They sleep warm, All
uro happy.
For a long time Halem has D'ea the
central point for this part of Orvgou,
For many years, slice my childhood,
the canipmeetlogs, tho assemblies, the
revivals havo been held here.
I believe that God has been all along
working here to produce this result
since I was a little boy,
I passed ovor this place, all over It,
beforo you white people suoceeded me
here. I know that Lewis and Clarke
a long tlmo ago camo down tho Colum
bia rlrcr iu u canoe. The Iudlans
believe that for a long time they lived
nn the supplies furnished them by tho
Indians, The Indians always treated
them two men In u very friendly man
