Devotional EAGAZINZ SECTION (by Rev. Donald John) "For man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7) Hy aim is for the ones who say ·;:.hey are christians, and how they go to church. How many people have you fooled? You go to church every Sunday, you may have a good positi0n, you may sing in the choir, you only fool a lot of people. Remember the Lord looketh on the heart. Yo:u may look in a mirror and see if your hair or hat is just · · right, but a mirror is a thing you can walk away frow.. Now let I s stop and think for a while, · as you'd say, I fool then;. again. You do not fool the Lord. He's the one who knows all -your heart. · He knows your actions, your cold shoulder, your proud look, and how miserable you . .are. The Lord . has '.:.ried to :talk to you about your heart I s need but . yc:,h.r11 not let him. Our bible j_s the road map to heaven, It will 1·ead us to the city ·· that the : Lord has p::'.'epared. :,:,et; s do some good . old house cleaning for J esus, speak- ing of our hearts. "Blessed a:-:-e the pure in heart for they shall see God. 11 History of the O.jebway Indians (written by S.S. based on P.J.) Chapter i5 Zarly Reliefs The eatly Ojebway peoples believed in a plurality of gods. One of these gods was called Keche-munedoo which means the great spirit. This god abounded in lov.e and mer- cy toward his creatures. The:.{ also believed in the . existence of an evil . spirit whom they called Nahje- munedoo. This spirit had to be appeased for fear that one would suffer the consequences of his anger. Apart from these two main spirits there were innumerable others. For example there was a god of the fish, a god of the gi31Iie, a god of the vegetation. T:1e sun, moo!'l and stars were also adored as gods. An eclipse of the sun was regarded as its death, and in order to i'<Ssist it to regain life, .coals of fire were attached to arro1rrn which were then shot upwards i nto the air (the idea being that the · coals would rekindle the sun) Certain animals such ::i.s the wolf, the fox and the toad .were regarded as having supernatural powers. Likewise certain places such as curious trees, rocks, islands, mountains , caves and waterfalls were regarded with awe and veneration. From Where I 3it (by R.O.) CQl1jEQl'J S:Zl,,SK? This eiPression 11 Common Sense" is a. good example of using words ca.relessly, because real sense isn 1 t all that comm6n. h.t times it seems about the searest commodity there is. For~ instance, recently there has been a lot of discussion about automobile sa£ety, and various agencies are working h21·d to have automobiles equipped with all kinds of safety devices - seat belts, head supports and many others. But it s eefils that nobody can irivent .. a device to k eep hi ghways se.fe from those who haven't heard of Common Sense. Anyone old enough to drive a car should have learned by that time that he is driving about t wo tons of death. Or, worse than death is being maimed for life. Even if the driver doesn 1t care whether he kills or rnaims himself, and if he doesn 't mind throw- ing away the money he has spent on the car, he would at l east think of the innocent people who might be in his way, if he had even a shred of Corrnnon Sense. Vh en a lun- atic turi1s a corner on two wheels, burning rubber off the screaming tires , he is tell- ing the world exactly what his mentality is . Perhaps the best solution would be to p rovide -a track where such people could go by t hems elves and kill each other off. Anybody who had a little Common Sense would stay miles from the place while the slaughter on the track made things a little safer on the public highways.
