S.) . 11 As soon as an Indian dies his friends proceed to lay him out on the ground putting his best clothes on him, and wrapping his body in skins or blankets • • •••••• .. . After digging a hole about three feet deep, generally in the course of t welve hours they inter him, with his head toward the west , They then place by the side of the corpse all his former hunting and war implements; ••••• and other articles which he carried with him when going on a long journey. The grave is then covered, and on the ·. top of it poles or sticks are placed lengthways, to the height of about t wo feet, over which birch bark or mats form a covering to secure the body from the rain. The re- _latives or friends of the deceased then sit on the ground in a circle round the head of the grave , when the usual offering to t he dead-consisting of meat . or soup - is made. This is ha_nded to the people present in bowls, a certain quantity being kept back for a burnt offering. While this is preparing at the head of the grave, the old man, or speaker for t he occasion, makes a prayer to the soul of the departed, ennumerating his good qualities, imploring t he blessing of the dead t hat his Spirit may intercede for them, that they may have plenty of game; he also exhorts his spirit to depart quietly from them. 11 Devotional (by S. Shantz) Read Matthew 22:15-22 One day during Jesus preaching, _teaching and healing ministry a group of men came t~ Jesus and asked him whether it was normally right to pay taxes to the government • . Today we doi'i ' t ask such questions because we can 1t buy anything without paying some kind of tax~ And if we don 1 t pay our taxes we get put in jail. In those days however this question was a trick question. If Jesus said 11 Yes it is right to pay taxes1L; then they would say how can .it possibly be right to pay taxes when you know as well as anyone else that the money you give in taxes will be used to kill other people and support atheists who pretend that they are God, and that any other God doesn ' t really exist. 1~ But , if Jesus said n No it is wrong to pay taxesn; then they would report Jesus t o the authorities and put him in jail for teaching civil disobedience • .,,, They didn ' t have freedom of speech in those days. Well Jesus slipped out of t his trap by giving neither a 1Yes 1 nor a 1Nc 1 to their question, instead he said " Render unto Caesar, the things that are Caesars, and unto God the things that are Gods. n In other words give the government its 1 share, and give God his share. What is the governments ' share? V'1hat is Gods I share.? Government money obedience - to what extent respect our lives ? worship · ? Let us pray, ' money obedience our hearts our lives worship 0 God, who gives wisdon to all men, help us as we 1?; 0 through life to understand what belongs to our government a nd what belongs t o you. Help us to give to you what is yours and help us not to give to another t hat which is yours alone. Through Jesus name we pray , Amen.
