Moderator Robert Smith spoke to some of the native people as used in the article ' ‘ Of course we forgive you’ ’ as taken from the October Observer and read by Mrs. Helen Martin. The moderator said that his people had confused western culture with the Gospel and how they tried to make the native people into their own likeness and asked, on behalf of his church for forgiveness. Mrs. Sara Anderson, using the Spiral Mandate, had the article ‘ ‘ Comparing Cultures ” read alter- nately. Native peoples globally share similar characteristics and concerns as shown in the article “Common Bonds” which brought the meeting to conclusion. minister asked “What is the Scripture Story saying?” He then explained that the temple or church where the people of Shiloh worshipped had many rooms, one of which was special with two things of significance set aside for worship. One was the gold-cover­ ed, cherubim-decorated Ark of God containing the tablets of the 10 commandments. The second was a golden lamp of turkish design. Samuel was 12 years old when the Lord spoke to him. His work in theshrinewastoopen the doors and light the lamps. Four things of importance con­ cerning Samuel were: (1) He was involved in God’s house, (2) He worshipped with his parents all his life, (3) He and other children have unrealized spiritual experience (4) Eli and other teachers must instruct children that God is calling. Parents should speak, correct and give guidance. The children sang the benedic­ tion to conclude the service.

It is one point for each white item of food and one more if you have all four good groups. Jeremy Campbell in Grade One brought 31 white things.
