The Sedalia weekly bazoo. [volume] (Sedalia, Mo.) 187?-1904, 1882-06-13
A NORTHERN BREEZE,
Which Blows for the Bazoo.
The Eloquent Divine
Sends a Hearty Greet
ing
To the Paper for the People Now
on Earth.

There Is more sense in this than in some
volumes. How many editorials ale so
dull that but few wade through them
How many persons are engaged in schemes
and projects that will never be of any
earthly use? What vast Amount of
work and continuance and thought and
ink expended that will do no one anv
good? How many sermons delivered
aimless and worthless, no one instructed,
convinced, converted, comforted nor
strengthened Tor lilies battle The congre-
tions retire wondering what ii is all about,
the only interesting thing was the Amen
rs THERE ANY TASTE TO THE WHITE OF
AN EGG?"
How MANY smart men amount 10 moth
ing? They are entirely impractical
everything they touch is failure Com
mon sense cannot be injected into a man,
if he is not born with il he will die with
on, it.
Education only makes him a greater
fool. One young man was Dragging that
he had graduated Two colleges :;
an old sturdy farmer replied
that he had known a call that had sucked
two COWS. When aslei ihe result he
answered at only made him a greater
calf, that is all :" so education simply
makes a greater cali of a man without
common sense.
One-fourth of mankind have to support
tn race, three-fOurIhs are mere hangers
on, and always making plumbers.
WE ARE LIVING on THIS EARTH,
and that which will best fit Us for this life
will best hi Us for the life To come the
future life is only this life perfected. /
accept the sentiment in its fullest import.
II Is scriptural idea-"If YOU will no. he
fortified in the unrishteous ,nammon who
will commit to yOu the true riches ," How
are the words of the Master, Occupy till
come ," The man who meets his respon-
sibilities to his fellow men best in this life
is the best fitted for the life to come. But
let none OF us take too limited view of
lifes duties, nor the wants of this world:
Man doth not live for bread alone" but
he has various wants and necessities.
HE Il A COMPLEX BEING
OF varied eulowments and relations. He
has social nature, and those wants
must be administered TO. He has
reason and imagination. and these
must be stimulated and cultivated.
He has a moral nature and that must be
trained. Now, no one can devote himself
TO all these interests, but no one should
say anything or do anything that would
in the least conflict with any one of these
interest. There is no conflict between
them.
Every man in his sphere, but no mans
hand against his fellow. Truth never runs
against any other truth in any depart
ment. Errors and falsehoods clash and !
fight with each other, but truth meets the
shock of battle. Truth is positive, error
is negative; truth is an entity, falsehood
Is nonentity, only tries to be.
Yes. give us paper for the people for
the people living on this earth adapted to
their real wants and their highest good.
The motto of the BAzoO is excellent. |
We are not sufficiently acquainted with it
10 decide whether all below the caption
sustains the text or no. 1t NAV be like |
some sermons, as soon as the preacher an |
his text he bids il farewell and |
they never meet again. The BAZOo. for |
lught we know, may be like

But that the proprietor has pluck and /.

ldve been informed he allows no one to
wear on the premises but himself, anu
loes all the thinking for all his hands, and
ret is always sober; never goes to theatar

generous toward his friends
loes not lay anything much to heart
lresses with the most taste of any man in
he city, and keeps a religious man always
round to take the curse off OF anything
wrong that might creep into the BAZoo.
A good many people say We can't stand
he BAzOo, and yet they all seem to know
that is in it. | suppose it is because
hey are afraid they are in it =. Altogether
he BAzOo is a brick; strange compound.
should call it democrat, republican, in
ependen., a religious journal, a theater,
