When loafing in our city we hear
most every subject talked on. Gold,
silver, the future of hogs and cattle,
the manner of farming, and so on.
Last week the talk was about the
Free Methodist doctrine, some think
it is impossible to live the life they
teach from the Bible, while others
say they feel sure of one thing, not
many are living on that line, others
say whatever a person is interested
in he will work in that direction. A
person having herd of cattle will
work to get something out of them,
others say it seems SO strange many
of the church members work harder
to care for their stock than they do
to build up the morals of their fami-
lies, others say it looks so strange to
them that members of other churches
do not help the Free Methodists In
their work. They all aim to work
for the same end and why not work
together; some think it does not mat
ter what church they belong to if
they live right every day and help
every good cause along.
