Jamison Conductor in Charge Mrs. Lucinda Walker Mother of the Household of the Faith Katie Hoggins Secretary of the Household of the Faith Mrs. J. L. Ramsey Assistant Mrs. Polly Marshall Assistant. The quotation from Hebrews 12.23 the source of the name of the church: [But ye are come] to the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect. Unlike the Oto group, Jamison never succeeded in getting his “moon” incorporated, although there are suggestions[16] that Negro groups in South Dakota may have been influenced by peyotism. FOOTNOTES: [1] The cult use of peyote has been persecuted not alone by legislatures and religious groups. The following broadside, obtained from Alfred Wilson (Cheyenne) through Enoch Smokey (Kiowa) was posted at Harry Ehoda’s home in Mountain View, Oklahoma: “To all Indians addicted to the use of peyota and other forms of heathen or pagan forms of worship. You are hereby warned to sease form such degrading practices. Our Government has spent and is spending thousands of dollars each month to educate and life up the Indians and the Ku Kluck Klan of this state have determined that no Indian who has been educated by the Government shall come back home and debouch his people. Take Due Warning. The Clan in Your Community Will Look After You and Other Ku Kluck Klan of Okla.” [2] Cf. Harry Rave (brother of John), quoting another Indian, in Seymour, _Peyote Worship_, 182: “‘My friend we must organize a church and have it run like the Mormon Church’.” Could this have been Koshiway? Mormon interest in peyotism is indicated in letters to C. Warden (Arapaho) of Gary, Oklahoma, from the Latter Day Saints, which I have seen. See the _Book of Mormon_, I Nephig:2-28. [3] Data on this charter from a note in Mooney, _Peyote Notebook_, 38. [4] This element introduced by Albert Hensley into Winnebago peyotism, was probably influenced by the Oto church, when Hensley made his visits in Oklahoma. [5] With this native “Oxford Movement” cf. the parallel cases of the Caddo defection from the Wilson rite to the Enoch Hoag “moon” and the Hensley separatists to the Rave and Jesse Clay groups, the latter in each case representing a more aboriginal phrasing of the ceremony.
