The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1896-02-04


the peace over at Star, Idaho. A
man named Stofie had grudge
against a neighbor and had him
arrested on fiimsy charge. The
justice, after trying the case,
dismissed the charge and taxed
the costs on the complaining
witness, Stofe, instead of the
county. That justice is all right.
The Musicale entertainment
given at the church last Thurs
day evening was very enjoyable
affair. A portion of the program
was omitted owing to the sick
ness of Mrs. Morrison, whom
was expected to have taken part.
Refreshments were served after
the entertainment and of which
nearly all partook thereof.
Colonel Robert G.. Ingersoll
returned to New York last night
from the West, having completed
his lecture tour. The Colonel
said that he had not been con
verted by the prayers of the
Christian Endeavorers. II take
it for granted" he added, that
the people who prayed for me
are my friends, and that they
really want their God to convert
me. l cannot be converted unless
my brain is changed or weaken
ed; unless my credulity is in
creased. AT the same time I am
much obliged for the prayers. I
feel toward those who prayed for
me as the girl did toward the
young man who squeezed her
hand. She said 1T pleases
him and doesn't hurt me-"
Bob Burdette answers this
question in his unique fashion /:
MAY Christian Dance p Of
course he may. He might swear
and lie too. but it wouldn't make
him better Christian. Surely
you may dance, but dancing will
not identify you as a Christian
What puzzles US is that you ask
the question so often. Christians
who never dance don't ask it.
Yes, Christians, dance if you
can't live without it. Join hands
with Salome, Herodias and circle
to the left, But don't be sur.
prised if you are taken for f;
goat. This is the side you are
on. And you are liable to b'
! overlooked by any one hunting
: for the Lords sheep.
