The Northern Plains Classis, which is sometimes known as the Non-stop Party Classis, made a visit to Pierre, SD, this March 1st and 2nd. The Classis was again entertained by the duo of Rev. David Dawn and Rev. Mike McGee, the President and Stated Clerk respectively. This tag team kept the Classis going and provided enough material for a small novel of adventures and good times. Much like Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer, these two should go down in history as a pair without equal. It was my job as the humble Reformed Herald Reporter to inform you of their adventures.

The manner in which we address others is important. It shows something of our attitude toward them. If you were talking to the President of the United States, would you address him as "Mr. President," or would you call him "Mr. O" or "Boss Man" or "Homey?" The latter three do not convey the same attitude of respect as "Mr. President." We teach our children to address their schoolteachers as "Ms. Smith" or "Teacher," not as "Mary." Knowing how to address one another in the proper manner is considered common sense. If we fail to do this, offense could be taken and relationships could be damaged.
