WHAT WOULD JESUS DO? 

BY MRS.  A.P. JARVIS

 What would Jesus do if he were here? 
To answer we scarcely dare, 
Of course as in far-off Galilee, 
He would spend whole nights in prayer.

His words were ever of faith and hope, 

He sought for his people's good, 

And did not pause though his loving deeds 

Were often misunderstood.

His life was a loving ministry. 

If like him we would become, 

We would seek the souls that are lost in sin 

And endeavor to lead them home.

THE HYMN WAS FOUND IN THE NEWSPAPER- 424328 HERALD AND PRESBYTER VOL LXXIX No 1 JANUARY 1 1908.

Who are and were  the Pawnee?

The Pawnee- Native American Indians of  Nebraska state, The nation was commonly regarded as the last of the Caddoan Tribes of the North America. They have  migrated in a general northeasterly direction.  When the Siouan Tribes of the North American continent has the entered the valley of the Platte River in Nebraska. They have found the Pawnee tribes already established in that region. The Pawnee called themselves by a term, which in the language of the tribe has a  meaning "men of men". Their present name was probably given by some neighboring tribe, not by themselves. It is thought that  the name Pawnee is derived from "pariki", which has a  meaning- " a horn". It is the real ethnographical and anthropological fact that  the Pawnee warriors, had custom to shave the whole head except of a narrow strip, extending from the forehead to the scalplock. There they used to stiffen this ridge of the hair  left unshaven, with a grease and paint curving it upward like a horn. 

Pawnee Native Indians, otherwise called People of the Plains, historically resided in the states of Oklahoma, Nebraska and Kansas. The Pawnee language is classified as the Caddoan Native Indian language family of the USA.

They in numbers and in 1928 the Pawnee population was 2,766 - the data is not  providing the clear number- what this number meant- the families or the  count of the original Native Indian Americans still alive.
