Go to help and be a blessing To all peoples and all nations.” Thus there came to Indianola From the heart of the Great Spirit Words of cheer and admonition. Words directing him to action. Then he wakened from his dreaming Started up and looked around him, Looked in vain to see the maiden. Wondered whence had come the message; Saw the stars above him shining.
