Thought of the Week
Friendship:
£ Life has no blessing than a pru
dent friend.—Euripides
It looks as if the new 45 minute
lunch period at old L. H. S. will
be a success, everyone seems to
enjoy themself with the things
that have been provided for
them.
I hear that a certain D. B. is a
very good writer of love letters.
I wonder if J. M. could tell me
anything about this.
The double assembly Wednes
day morning was to award the
football team. One of our teen
agers (Nolen Davis) received the
letter for being on the reserve
team. “Good work Nolen.”
Albert: Mom, you know that
vase was stilting on the stairs
in the hall?
Mom: Yes
Albert: You don’t have to
worry about it anymore.
Mom: Why?
Albert: Because, it is broken in
a million pieces.

Last Week: Interesting African
Institutions
African Religion
The African believes in a world
of spirits, and is guided daily by
them. He believes in God, and
that man is immortal. He also
believes that his spirit can never
die. When referring to the cus
tom on the Gold Coast of Africa,
Casely Hayford says, “You should
watch him as he takes offerings
of food and drink to the grave
side. There he carefully sets a
chair for the dear one gone be
fore, then places them all in
order, and pours out a libation,
addressing the spirit of the de
parted relatives hovers around
him by day as well as by night,
and he has both the physical and
the spiritual sense to perceive its
presence. He sees in the manni
ferous bat, winging its flight from
room to room at night in the
home once dear to the loved one,
who is supposed to dominate it,
a kindly providence which does
not leave him all forlorn in his
grief, but sends the spirit of the
departed back occasionally to
watch and to protect. He even
speaks to it in endearing terms at
times, and would fain believe
that it understands and is in full
sympathy with him. You may
sneer at the seeming simplicity of
the native, mind, but the Abori
gines believe that there are
mysteries, in this world yet un
revealed to man. He, the native,
implicity believes in ghosts, and
has many an authentic story to
tell of some strange visitation
which he has experienced. Nay,
more, his sense of small detects
the presence of a ghost in a house.
The African looks beyond his
present surroundings to the world
hereafter where he hopes to meet
every member of his family. This
is like the religion that is mani
fested in our churches in Ameri
ca. He doesn’t feel it matters so
much what happens today as
long as he can look forward to
the world hereafter. He goes
through life contendly in this
happy frame of mind.
The meaning of God differs
throughout Africa. They have
what they term, “River Gods”
and “Sun Gods.” They believe
that God brings the radiant sun
shine, the pale delicate moon, and
the many other beauties of na
ture. The African’s story of the
Creation differs only a little from
the story handed down from us.
We’ve often heard how difficult
it is for missionaries to “Chris
tianize the Africans.” This is be
cause the African understands his
own religion and feels that it is
just as good as the religion
brought by the missionaries.
