MONDAY was likened to middle life

Rev. Ralph Jensen, pastor of the

The influence and power Of n mothers
prayer was shown. The steadying pow

the lives of boys, girls, men and wo-
men has been shown for many years
There is no more valuable heritage
than that of a pious and religious
mothers example. One argument
that skeptics could never get by is
the influence of good mother. The
pastors message was based on the
incident of a Cyro- Thenetian moth
er who came to Jesus seeking selp
for her afflicted daughter. Reference
was also made to the solemn re :

was the text which Rev. e. H. Kne-

church took. He gave some beautiful
examples of mothers love which are
told in the Bible Moses and his
mother, Hannah and Samuel, and
Ruth and Naomi are some of them.
He said in part. "Well may we
pause to pay honor to her who after
Christ Jesus is Gods best gift to

Commissioner Burke in his letter
does not condemn dancing in itself,
but states that "the dance, however,

conditions Is apt to be harmful.
In the Lake Superior district 1t
seems most Of the dancing is done
by the older Indians. Usually these
dances are in the nature Of "exhibi-

contain nothing more Objectionable
than the "squaw dance" wherein
men and women form circle and
follow the cadence of the drummers.
The younger members of the tribe
seldom participate in the tribal
dances, Mr.. Arten said, instead dress
