"I understand," said John Sunday, the converted Indian chief to a congregation which he was called to address at Plymouth, England, in the year 1837, "that many of you are disappointed because I have not brought my Indian dress with me. Perhaps if I had it on, you would be afraid of me. Do you wish to know how I dressed when I was a pagan Indian? I will tell you. My face was covered with red paint. I stuck feathers in my hair. I wore a blanket and leggings. I had silver ornaments on my breast, a rifle on my shoulder, a tomahawk and scalping-knife in my belt. That was my dress then. Now do you wish to know why I wear it no longer? You will find the cause in 2 Cor. v, 17. 'Therefore if any man be in Christ he is a new creature; old things are passed away, behold all things are become new.' When I became a Christian feathers and paint 'passed away.' I gave my silver ornaments to the mission cause. Scalping-knife 'done away.' That my tomahawk now," said he, holding up at the same time a copy of the ten commandments in the Ojibwa language. "Blanket 'done away.' Behold," he exclaimed in a manner in which simplicity and dignity of character were combined, "behold all things are become new!" NOTE. The experience of not a few white Christian converts differs materially from Sunday's. Rings, ruffles, artificials, paint, &c., are not among the things done away. No, no. Often more and costlier are bought. But we like the Indian's experience.
