Manuel and Joe were traders with the Pawnee Indians. Each of them tried to acquire by the trade
as many furs as possible for himself, using whatever means possible and without showing mercy
towards the other. For that reason, they often quarrel. In order to prevent such wrangles they
agreed that if a band of Indians arrived at their trading posts for the purpose of exchange and
barter, nether would attempt to take advantage of the other. Manuel, however, had no intention
of trading on honorable terms for any length of time; once when both of them expected a band of
Pawnee, he tried to circumvent Joe. While he ordered his post supplied in secret with
commodities to barter with the Pawnee, he went over to see Joe in order to put him off his guard,
by his own presence there to hinder preparations, and to see what was really going on in the
other storehouse. Joe played the part of unsuspecting host just as well as his opponent played his
role. He acted just as though he had allowed himself to be really fooled. He invited Manuel to
drink a glass of champagne to the success of prospective trade; but regretted that on account of
his bad back he was not able to stoop down and therefore, would have to ask Manuel to fetch the
cask from the cellar. The latter obligingly raised the trapdoor in the room and went down the
steps. Joe let fall the door, rolled a cask upon it, with mocking words left his opponent
imprisoned, then, went off to trade alone with the Pawnee.

83. How did Joe feel about Manuel’s visit?
a. He was completely fooled.
b. He knew the real reason for it.
c. He was angry with Manuel for coming to his house.
d. He was glad that Manuel had accepted his invitation for a drink.
84. Why were Manuel and Joe often quarrel?
a. Because Joe locked Manuel in the cellar.
b. Because they couldn’t trade with the Pawnee Indians.
c. Because they couldn’t trade as many furs as they wanted to.

The “war” is won only by Spirit-anointed Christians, positioned strategically across the varied
sectors of society (the home, law or accounting firm, school or hospital, police or military
barracks, office or factory floor), who are equipped to destroy the “strongholds” or “power”
which dominate society, and to take every thought captive for Christ. Here lies the critical
problem of training Christians for society and cultural transformation. Most educational
programs are content with the outcome of mere personal piety and church involvement; the
wider Kingdom task is either ignored or considered too complex.

An eight-year-old is actively curious, almost like a four-year-old. He has lots of energy, more
than when he was seven. He is now more fond of rough play and boisterous games. He tends to
do everything in high gear-talking, reading, writing, running, and even eating.

It is at the age of eight when the two sexes are beginning to show the difference in their
development. Perhaps, this is a good age to divide boys from girls-mainly because of the
difference of development! Boys of eight tend to shout derision to a group of girls. A group of
boys will definitely segregate themselves from a group of girls.

The eight-year-old needs to develop character qualities of cooperation, loyalty, sportsmanship,

friendliness, etc. Watch his speech and teach him to express positive qualities of life with his
lips. He has a strong sense of justice, so play the game fairly and with rules. he is learning to
evaluate ethical issues.

The eight-year-old has new curiosities, especially about the origin of life, procreation, sex,
babies, and marriage. He has certain inquisitiveness about all human relationship. A wise teacher
will teach the proper use of sex, babies, and the necessity for faithfulness in marriage.

Webster’s dictionary calls a casserole a mold made painstakingly of rice or mashed potato, or
pastry, filled and baked with vegetables or meats in various sauces. Also, it is an open, deep
sided bowl in which foods are baked and served. The “Larousse Gastronomique” calls a
casserole a dish made of two or more elements, rice, spaghetti, etc., in combinations with meats
or fish plus a sauce or gravy, and often a variety of vegetable. This one-dish meal can be
prepared in advance, cooked and served in a decorative casserole bowl. There are basic rules for
casserole cooking that should be instinctive, but they can be learned by the most unskilled
beginners. Naturally, such rules are used along with the cook’s own taste, but they have little to
do with personal prejudices. Never use foods that may look or taste dull as can happen to a
remnant left too long in the back of the refrigerator or overnight, uncovered. A good casserole
will have clear-cut textures and flavor, and old reheated food will not survive in the slow baking
it should be given. There shouldn’t be a pointless mixture of flavors and textures just to use up
leftovers. The ingredients must be firm or completely fresh. Crispness can be added with
thinly sliced vegetable or nuts, according to the cook’s judgment. It is hard to say which is
worse, a casserole made of a dozen indistinguishable hints of exhausted flavors or one that is
mushy like baby-food. One ingredient must dominate, so that the dish is plainly made, say, of
chicken, or shrimp, or lamb. The starch backbone of the dish must be fresh. Prepare what holds it
together just before the whole is assembled. Rice, if correctly cooked and stored, will hold its
texture for a few days, but most kinds of starches do not improve with age.
