J. adapted by S.S.) General councils a are composE;;d of the chiefs and principla men of the various tribes, met to deliverate on ma t ters connected with their general interest. The head chief of the tribe i .n whose territory the council is convened, generally takes the lead. The first thing done is to kindle the council fire. This is called the uncovering of the slumb slumbering embers of former councils, and the closing of a council is called the cover- ing of the cou~cil fires. F~om .this fire they liP-ht their pipes.

Odeudahl ) THE LAW· ii Thou shalt l ove the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy nind and with a ll t hy strength. This is the first, and Great Commandment. And the second is like unto _it ~ Thon shalt love thy neighbour as thyself •11 Sometimes that Sec-.:,r.d Commandment is cal:i.ed The Golden_ Rule, but whatever we call it, the important thing is to _understand 1nhat i t implies .Lf we are to love all man.ldnd as .ourselves, we _ shall not hurt anyone by thought, word or deed . -Ce vould never thin.k an unkind thought about any one, no rr,:c.ttei' how we have been treated. This alone is a difficult exercise in self-con-~rol, but Christ i anity is essentially self-control. We would never say an unkind word about anyone , s o all goss;i.p would cease. Recriminations, 11 bawling out11 and other i mmature practices would stop. If we were to avoid all hurtful deeds there would be not mor :.: fighti!lg, no stea liil!!, not even any small impositions on other people. Fighting, no .stealing ; not even any s mall impositions on other people. This m2.y seem e}._-trem9, but for every Christian it is a definite command - uThou shalt. 11 But apart from religion ) even democracy, enlightenment, maturity and common decency · stand for ."the dignity cf man, 11 and the:i.~efore nobody has any right to humiliate or be_little any other pe:rson. Further, we can do just as much harm by keeping silent when we should rise to the def ence of another person, a character, or a cause. Christianity de.mands that we stand for truth and right. . It is not an easy religion, but it demands courage, strength and conviction. Nobody can be a Christian part time. Cornplanter (by .Carl Froman) The story is told, of a f ~ther and son. Of Indian history, this story is one • . Carne a wandering tramp, to an Indian camp, And soon we will l earn) he was a b it of a scamp. FroD a couritry ca lled Ireland; he came with a plan, And he thought of hi mself , as a ver_y fine man. To live as an Indian, and _learn of t heir ways, He said he would stay, till the end of his days.
