THE VERLYN 17 THE SENIOR TRIPS VERMONT “In Montpelier we visited a grocery store which looked very realistic with its boxes of all staple groceries, We were given toy money and made purchases from fourth grade pupils dressed as clerks. One of us successfully telephoned an order. In another room a little girl acted as hostess and showed us the points of interest in the pupils’ community city.” E. L. T. “At Orleans the sixth grade had been studying food. They had made a house on the sand table. The sides of the building were made of oatmeal, the roof was of graham crackers, the porch posts were sticks of candy, the veranda was a cake of sugar with a step of cheese. The lamp posts were parsnips with small onion lamps.” M. P. NORTH CAROLINA Church of God, Saints of Christ It was only a small wooden building about as well built as a barn. We were welcomed very politely at the door and given some seats in the back of the church. We were entirely walled in by colored saints — big, small, old and young. All the women wore long pleated brown skirts and blue silk waists. Most of them had rosettes in their hair. The preacher and a few of the more important male members had on brown cut-away suits. They were also decorated with long rib- bons, such as prize cows win at the fair. The quartet began singing and I never expect to hear any- thing like it again. Then came the march. The saints don’t be- lieve in dancing, but they were almost dancing when they went “back-stage”. After stamping around awhile they all marched front and bowed to the preacher. He told us that as long as we hadn’t brought our dinner, we were free to go at anytime. We couldn’t stay for all of the sermon because it was too late. As we came out I couldn’t help thinking how much religion means to the colored people. L. M.
