Sue from the Quad Cities commented:
In reading the article “Let There Be Peace on Earth” [January 2016, page 4] you have the song wrong. The third sentence is, “with God as our Father, brothers all are we.”
Reply: Often a song learned or sung around a campfire will have slight variations. In researching the song, both the above version and the printed version, “With God our Creator, Family are we.” were used. The number of syllables in each version is the same, so it will fit into the melody. Sing whichever one you prefer. The message is the same.
Thanks for you comments, Sue.

Pete from Rock Island had two questions:
1. What is “Wikipedia”? [January 2016, page 4]
Reply: Wikipedia is a free-access, free-content internet
encyclopedia. Hosted by the non-profit Wikimedia. Wiki stands for the “wiki” software. Combine “wiki” and “encyclopedia” and you get ‘wikipedia,”
2. What is the speed of sound? [January 2016, page 3]
Reply: The speed of sound is 340.30 meters per second at sea level. It is slightly faster higher up in the atmosphere. That converts to 761.21 miles per hour, or 1116.44 feet per second. Thanks for your questions, Pete.
