Those days are far in the past. Still, the Indians have generally had a rough row to hoe over the years in their efforts to make their way in a white mans society. Pulling themselves up by the boostr - - - er, moccasin straps, hasnt been an easy task. That's why it's encouraging or refreshing to run across an enterprising bunch like the Ute Indians of the Uintah Ouray Tribe in eastern Utah.

A psychologist said of her: She did not putting your hobby to work, sufficient concern for the wrongness of her actions. This psychologist described the girl as a spoiled child who needed consistent discipline. She had freedom to do as she wanted to do, he said, and this prevented her having an opportunity to learn what is appropriate behaviour.. That is a different attitude from one often expressed by psychologists. Many of them advocate permitting young people free rein to express their passions and desires to do whatever they please. Whether this psychologist is a Christian or not, I do not know; but his philosophy is that of a saved man. At least he expresses what the Word of God has to say about a successful life.

Most schools today take pride in unsettling young people, in taking away from them any convictions they might have. A school that does that is not in truth a Christian school. A counselor in a certain denominational Echool wrote an article in which he said that it is good for students to be confused and unsettled in college. Good for what? If a student comes to that school and has Biblical convictions, it is good for the devil if the student becomes unsettled in his convictions and is drawna away into the world and enticed of his own lusts. Another man from that school said that it is not the schools mission to direct the growth of its students. If Christian schools have the same philosophy as that of the state schools, there is no excuse for their existence. The mission of a Christian school is to clarify issues for young people, to pont nut to them the dangers they face, and to show them from the Word of God how they can have victory and power over the things that would defeat them.
