is profitable and think that should be
exactly one week from 10 morrow, and
will take the liberty to call your Atten-
ton to a Scripture passage which reads,
Eye cannot serve God and mammon,
which, if rightly interpreted means. you
cannot serve your own interests and the
interests of the stare at one and the same
time 1t is evident those voting yes pro-
pose to serve mammoD, and those voting
no intend to serve their constituents"
