IN THE INTERESTS or PEACE.
From the Atchison Globe

When a new man moves into a town OF about
thousand inhabitants there is great rivalry
among the churches OF the town as to which shall
get him. and 1t is a sad commentary upon the sta
bilIty OF a mans religious creed to state that the
church that has debt has the strongest pull
upon him. This rivalry In some instances becomes
very fierce, for In event Is the man allowed to
escape. SO much hatred was engendered by this
fierce fight for church member in a little
Central Branch town that peaceful agreement
reached there Is a Presbyterian church in the
town. and . Methodist and they take turns In
