White Cloud Kansas chief. [volume] (White Cloud, Kan.) 1857-1872, 1857-12-03

sermon, last 0unday evening" hsue u Ms
business to particularly name the Chief
Office as an enemy to Christianity, and
raved about It most tremendously, because
some tale-bearer had informed him that,
in g pinch, work had been done here, on
the Sabbath day. We hope he feels
better now-we do not feel much worse.
We also blew our nose last Sunday. If
the "whited sepulchrc" who took the
trouble to inform the priest Of the work
done in our Office, on Sunday, had been
sognizant of this other fact. perhaps COM
munity woulG have been favored with q
learned dissertation upon the extreme
wickedness of blowing noses on the Sab
bath day!
Perhaps while Mr.. Downey was med
ding into his neighbors' private business,
he forgot that he makes his living by
Sunday work-yet no one has placed
him upon footing with the Devil, for so
doing. We will also hint to him, that
he is an ardent admirer and regular
reader Of paper published at an Office
whence o Daily is issued every Monday
morning, all the work on which is done
on Sunday. He has interested himself in
getting subscribers for that paper, to issue
which, every Sabbath day is desecrated.
And be has not hesitated to marry people,
and receive pay therefor, on the Sabbath.
The Courts have decided that marriage
is a regular legal business transaction.
Having, in so public manner, particu-
larized US as an enemy to religion, and
all that sort of thing, no doubt with the
approval of the members of his Church,
we would ask Of them whether they are
willing that we should employ our paper,
the medium through which we address
the public, to particulariz each and every
one of them, entering into their private
and business affairs, and hold up to the
world transactions, beside some Of which,
working on the Sabbath is a mere triae
OF course, they will allow US the same
privilege that they take. If not, We
would respectfully recommend to Mr..
Downey, that he mind his own business.
Preachers are considered privileged char
acters, and many of them think they are
dong q wonderful thing, when they take
advantage of their position, and bullyrag
their neighbors, before an audience.
There is not a printing Office in the
country, in which work on Sunday is
not often almost absolutely necessary ;
and since we have been publishing in
KanGas, there has been less work of this
kind done in our office, than in any other
we ever knew. We have never said nor
limited word against religion or morali-
ty-on the contrary, we have favored all
measures to put down vice. What little
Sunday work has been done in our office,
has not disturbetAAy one, in the slight
est degree, and would not have been wit
ness5d by those who took the pains to
gabble it to the preacher, had they not
wanted to see it. AS it is, we would
advise Mr.. Downey to use his sharp stick
upon some of those under his own charge.
If he neglects them, to NEEDLE into our
affairs, we shall undertake the business
for him. He has thrown out challenge
to US, and other agents of the Devil, as
he stigmatizes us-declaring himself
willing to fight us, and calling upon the
community to aid him in putting us
down. If that is what he is at, we ere
willing to submit our claims to the COM
munity with him, and to let it decide
whether it wants'us put down or not
We are even willing to submit it to 3
vote of the community, whether they
would prefer to dispense with our services
or his. But we will not be so uncharita-
bic as he has been. We are in favor of
churches and prea :hers in a community,
and will not attempt to excite the public
against them. and beg its aid to put them
down, because they do some things of
which we disapprove.
