RUSSELL HENDERSON - The weekend of March 8 was similar to that of last week. The snow here, at this writing, is still falling and it does not yet ap pear how much there will oe. Today, March 9, it has been raining and snowing and many people stayed home from church because of this. The writer remained indoors ali day Sun day because of weather, God al ways has His way of doing things and the writer believes that everything He does is always for the best.. While sitting here pondering over past records, I incidentally came across anal bum with the words “Dear God,” on the back of it. As I turned the back cover, I dis covered the same words with the statement, “by students of the fifth grade at G. R. Whitefieid School, Gr im e sland, N, C.’’ Tills album contained 36 pages of meditations from children In the fifth grade. All of these meditations begin with the words “Dear God.” I was highly benofitted in reading „ these meditations. For what > they are worth and I think they are valuable, 1 shall pass a few of them on to you since we do not have space for all of them. These two little words Dear God says, little Willie Mae Hawkins, “”How wonderful it is to know that children of the fifth grade know the value of calling on God. Their meth ods might not be as those older men and women, but they are letting us know that there ts a true and living God, and when there is a sincere motive, He hears and answers In ways be yond our understanding.” 'T wish I could have more sense,” says Vandale Barn hill, “and stop being so dumb and fast. I want to be nice to everyone I meet. When some thing is on, I want to be in it. I know everybody can’t be per fect, but I want to be. I want to have money so I can stop borrowing from Mrs. Merritt; I want to have more clothing so I can stop corning to school inf, rags. ! am very sorry that Dr.V Martin Luther King died. I guess it was time for him to go from this world, People are fighting and burning people’s houses, and throwing bricks into peo ple’s cars and homes. It is all because of his death. Please, dear God, do something about this.” “Dear God, I am writing you this letter so I can ask you to do something for everyone. Oh Lord, please let all men on earth be free from sin. Let all men and women have free dom of speech and freedom of choice. Let all men be able to fight for their country, and fight for their country, and bless all people everywhere. Have mercy on the person who kill ed Martin Luther King, Jr., we don't have a great civil rights leader. Lord, please send us one great leader.” Felecla Bel cher,, The following Is from the teacher of the class: “Dear Reader: as you rearL. Dear God, please feel that letters are from the hearts' and minds of fifth grade chil dren. Also, believe me, when I say these- are boys and girls that have thoughts and ideas of their own, and are not afraid to express them. This has been a wonderful group to work with during 1967-1968, and 1 hope that l have done some little thing in helping to mold and shape their lives for whatever lies ahead of them." D. R, Merritt, teacher, grade 5. May I say to Mrs. Merritt you have done a great job in what you are putting into the hearts and minds of the chil dren committed to your care and keeping those principles that will never fail. This should be an example for the entire teaching profession.
