When the first missionaries came to Alberta, Canada, they were savagely opposed by a young chief of the Cree Indians named Maskepetoon. 

Then he became a Christian.

Shortly afterwards, a member of the Blackfoot tribe killed Maskepetoon’s father.  Maskepetoon then rode into the village where the murderer lived and demanded that he be brought before him. 

Confronting the guilty man, he said, “You have killed my father, so now you must be my father.  You shall ride my best horse and wear my best clothes.” 

In utter amazement and remorse, his enemy exclaimed, “My son, now you have killed me!”  And what he meant, of course, was that the hate in his own heart had been completely erased by this act of such total love

 
It takes courage to love and forgive in a world that puts up so many barriers; in a world that still is willing to enslave politically and economically.  It takes courage to speak up with love and forgiveness when the status quo says we should hate another man or woman and we are given the reasons we cannot do otherwise if we are to be accepted ourselves.

Anger is everywhere and far too often, but if we are to truly claim Christ as our Savior, we must recognize it for what it is, and do all we can to rid ourselves and the world of it. 

     THE SPIRITUAL ABRAHAM LINCOLN
                        
A book superior in style and content)
 
Quote from book below
No matter what he spoke, the same confusion as to who Lincoln really was, existed just as much in his time as in ours.  Poor fellow, when he was through speaking, almost every newspaper in the North said he had extended an olive branch and almost every paper in the South that he extended a sword.
