LABOR VS.. LAzINEss.


pendent was absent from his post
a couple OF weeks, during which
time the talented Dills sat astride
the tripod. In last weeks paper he
wrote leader which this LEADER
cannot endorse as whole. HIS
eulogistic reference to the climate
OF New Mexico goes without an
swering, being. So truthful as to be
unansweyable. But when lie en-
dorses the habit so generally indul-
ged in by the native population, of
living from fand to mouth, rather
than lsyingup something fora rainy
day, for sickness, or their children
we take exceptions, and file them.
In the second chapter of the Ho-
ly Bible, God tells us that He
worked six days, worked so
hard that He rested" " on the
seventh day. Yet our Lincoln
oracle commends the Mexicans
who earn enough in ohe day to en-
able them TO rest the three succeed
ing ones. In tropical countries,
where civilization is as rare as clio.
thing, and labor is enervative, our
friends suggestions might have
force, only that the man and other
monkeys there would probably be
too supine to hear, though prone
enough to heed.
Nowhere outside of New Mexi-
co is the lesson 20 forcibly taught
that God intended man to work,
and to work hard, for here He has
been lavish in distributing precious
treasure, but He has planted it so
deep that naught but hard labor
can extract it, and were our mines
worked but two days in the week,
laborers (0 would need no pockets
i'll which to carry the product.
Our atmosphere is 50 clear and
eXMlirat.Ng, that labor builds up.
rather than dibllitates the human
system. While working, the mir
valves are well supplied with
wholesome electricity, and at night
grateful zephyrs tan the brow of
every sleeper, enabling the worker
to arise in the morning refreshed,
and capable Of pursuing his ave-
cation with clear head and rein
vigorated body.
Every man should be a worker.
whether with brain or Drawn. Al
lazy man has no adjusted place in
the economy of our nature. He Is
an incubus on society, menace |
to progress, and a nuisance to his
mel ghbors. If he works but two
day S in the week when he can
work six, he performs but one
third OF his duty to himself and |
family. He is an animal, who /
cares but tor his animal wants, and
when death draws his latest breath
he fills the tittest niche tor which |
he was designed-the grave.
Labor is honest and honorable,
and he is bravest and most deser-
wing, who tolls the hardest for self
and those dependant upon his la
Dor.
We fear brother Dils is becola-
ing indoleht, delights in
" sun baths, and longcth for the
" good old days Of Adam and Eve"
when Adam wore no clothes. and
Eve tried to palm off a fig-leaf for
dress pattern, tie highest ambition
OF either being to be Able to raise
Cain. Get up, rouse up, 20 TO
work, and you'll feel less glum,
ana the world will be the better
for your living in it.

HE CAME UNTO THE CITY.
Lincoln, N. M. July %, sc.

I
the sun had risen, and the sons
OF men had gone unto the
harvest, stranger, whose name
was Smith, to which was added
Thomas, came unto the city.
And there he did decry the pee.
pie absent, and drunk unto drunk
enness, and then he did draw forth
Il long weapon, and, raising it to
the level of his right eye, did play
upon It's most intricate parts, and a
large mirror was shattered into a
thousand fragments and more.
Then did the man named Smith
proclaim himself bad man who
had come from the utterm0st lin
its of the forest, and who was gull
ded by the spirit to cover up the
city with paint of the color red.
And he thencetorth did whoop
many mighty whoops, and did de-
stroy much that was rich and of
value great, until he aloud pro-
claimed himself at home in vast
wilderness.
And this did he all the day long.
And, again, it came to pass that
upon the going down OF the sun,
the sons of men returned from the
fields wherein they had harvested
and were told Of the ways OF the
man named Smith.
And they were angry.
And when one Bloodgood, sur
named Bob, did hear the things
that had been done, and the man
ner of there doing, he did go ont
into the city to seek and know the
man named Smith. And he found
him asleep and overcome with
drink. Then did Bloodgood, sur
named the Bob, gently lift the
helpless Smith and bear him unto
a place of safety, and near cool wa
ters. And laying down his bur.
den, the gOod-Bloodgood did place
the head of the man named Smith
under and beneath the surface of
the cool waters for several seconds,
And then the man whose aame
was Smith, did come unto tull life
and activity, though slowly and in
pain.
Then spake the man named
Smith and loudly, demanding who
had trausgressed his pleasure in
drenching him in the waters.
Then spake Bloodgood unto tile
man named Smith and asked hun
in hope that he were well and
strong, and the man named Smith
loudly and with protane words said
yea.
And then did Bloodgood lead |
forth the man named Smith into
the street OF the city, where it was
wide and of great length and there
did stop.
And again did the man whose
name was Smith lit up his voice,
and with a mighty oath proclaim
that all men should die.
And it did come TO pass that,
upon the utterance by the man
whose name was Smith, of the SEN
tence that all men should die, the
one named Bloodgood did frown
and clench his hands, and did
then become mad, like unto one
that is insane and he did strike
with great force upon the face of
tbs man named Smith, until he
fell unto the ground with an ex-
ceeding great swiftness. And did
then the one named BloodgOod
with his feet walk upon the pros
trate body of the man named
Smith, and did place his heel up
on his face and did lift his foot
many times and did lower 1t as of |
ten and no more with great force
and haste, until the man whose
name was Smith was sore and sick
at heart.

Sunday morning in the NJ E. church
Rev. Mr.. Louther delivered the follow
ing sermon on baptism:
Can any man forbid water, that these should not
be baptized which have received the Holy Ghost
as well as we? Acts Z: AZ.
Next Sabbath we attend to the ordinance Of
Baptism. With the command to be baptized comes
the desire to know how the baptism should be
performed. It s natural that there should be diff
ference Of opinion upon q ceremony where the
directions no clearer than they seem to be on
this, and where the word used is generic term
expressing the fact but not with certainty defining
the mode.
Three modes are commonly practiced by Chris
tians, sprinkling, pouring and immersion. Each
of these modes are depended and maintained by
men Of unquestioned piety, honesty and scholar
ship; and far as the world can see, their spirit
nal lives and moral characters are not affected by
the manner in which the water was applied in their
baptism. Since this is true and it Is also Taught
that baptism is ''the answering Of q good consci-
ence," l would say that the mode which satisfies
the conscience Of the believer is valid baptism
There is an argument urged against this with con-
siderable force, taken from the text 'Therc is
OhC A<OIuS OhC i0itus OhC Ouptishis sAtiCus
ing there is but one baptism. Without this bap-
tism you cannot be Christian without 1t We are
unfit for Heaven; without it we cannot be saved.
But that baptism is not Of water. 1t was taught
by John who said "Therc cometh one after me
who shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost" 1t
was taught by Paul, who said by our spirit are
We all baptized into one body" The philosophy
is; that it is mans spiritual nature thatis cor
rupted BY sin, land spiritual application of spirit
ual substance lie necessary to change our spiritual
nature. it ia bodies that il polluted, water is
. good purifier. But what shall change our vile
affections and make At companion for angels
and prepared to stand in the presence Of God!
Not the watching of the body with water but the
regeneration and sanctifcation of the spirit by
the Spirit Of God.
Baptism with water is necessary in order to
convey to the eye in form that which We should re-
ccive into the heart il spirit. But It Is not the
al baptism, it Is only the sign. tits something
can see teaching ne Of something we cannot sec,
and could not understand was 1t not thus taught.
Many passages Of scripture are urged In favor
Of each mode. In presenting them separately do
not desire to prejudice your minds against either
mode, simply present the arguments used in ia
yor Of each and allow yon to determine, only nrg-
ing that you shall not take the performance If the
ceremony rs a substitute for Christ-like DISPOSE
ton and pure life.

The Lcavenworth Times says: at is
time hypocrisy was relegated to the
rear and honesty and principle brought
to the front. All this talk about the
law being enforced in KANSAS is the
silfiest bosh, when the fact remains
that in every large city in the state sa-
looms are running in full blast, while
the law Is openly violated in every coun-
ty. And this is the condition of things
upon which the governor and his adyi-
sors builds the assertion that ''prohibi-
ton is the settled policy Of the Repub-
lican party of Kansas, and that the law
is enforced"
