Romans 6:3-4 Know you not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?… "I understand," said this chief to a congregation which he was called to address at Plymouth, 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 Corinthians 5:7, 'Therefore, if any man,' etc. When I became a Christian, feathers and paint were done away; I gave my silver ornaments to the mission cause; scalping knife done away, tomahawk done away — that my tomahawk now," said he, holding up at the same time a copy of the Ten Commandments, in his native 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."
