Health and prosperity and happiness were asked of their deities. Above all, the sentiment of thanksgiving for the blessings of nature was kept to the forefront in the worship of these aborigines, Doctor Speck's researches show.

A spirit of admitted helplessness and dependence upon the Supreme Power is expressed throughout the ceremonials and the social virtues of self-control and respect for the aged and children found their places in the Delawares' system of religious thought and teaching. Guarded Rituals The book reveals that only "clean" members of the tribe were permitted to engage in the rituals.

Turkev wings were usod to dust off the dirt floor of the "Big House" when necessary by attendants whose duty it was to keep everything in perfect order. Various prayer sticks, some carved and some plain, according to their part in the ceremony, were used, and the fire over which meals were cooked during the ceremony was made only with their own fire-drill, known as "ringing-noise-instrument." They did not think the "Great Spirit" would be pleased if they used flint or in more recent years, matches. Special designs of face paintings were used for the'eeremony and an accurate reproduction of these makeups are shown in color in the book.

Also about twenty-five reproductions of prayer-sticks, masks, turtle-rattles, drums and various other things used in the ceremony appear to illustrate more clearly how the ceremony was carried out. Some of the reproductions are actual photographs made during past ceremonies and others are drawings loaned by various historical societies and museums.
