see proper
And is IL true, as 80 many assert, that the
christian people are so poor that they have
to resort to passing tho hat or getting up
festivals and fairs and various other enter
ininments in order TO raise the money 10
keep The church in existence?
We are pretty well acquainted with the
fair aud festival business, having had pretty
large financial and manual labor experience
in helping them along. and we think we can
truly say that there are very few Of these
affairs gotten up which do not cost the mem-
bers of the church more money than they
receive from outsiders who come and buy, to
say nothing Of the time spent and the labor
performed. Wherein, then, is the church
the gamer when its members pay out more
to to catch the slippery worldly dollar than
they receive in return?
But, you say again, the young christians
must have these to 60 to and associate with
the world in order to enjoy themselves.
If that is true, then why not stay in the
world and enjoy its pleasures. and net try to
be a follower of the world and a follower of
the Savior at the sams time? If the pleas
ures Of the world are your chief desire, then
devote your time to their enjoyment to the
utmost and receive your reward in this
world. for there is certainly none promised
you in the world to come. But If you desire
to live the life Of q christian. and to obtain
the reward of q christian. you must sacrifice
the world TO attain your object, and receive
your reward in the world TO come, for it is
certain you will receive none in this world.
There are healthy outdoor athletic exer-
cises which strengthen the body, and there
are healthy indoor exercises which improve
the mind. Both are innocent and both sup
ply full enjoyment. A healthy mind in n
healthy body is a fit temple Of the holy
Spirit, and the best foundation upon which
to build a healthy christian.
And now a word in regard to accepting
money from those who are not in the church
If any such are so interested in the church
that they come and voluntarily offer to give,
IL is a gift with n pure intent, and should
not be refused. The trouble now is the
sinner has little chance to know whether he
is giving acceptably or not, and neither does
the church. You can set it Town for a fact,
though, that when n person has the hat
passed under his nose every time he goes
inside a meeting house and gets begged for
money on the street on week days, that he i,
not apt to give in a spirit that would make
his gift acceptable to God, and it ought moi
to acceptable to the church.

Some Lessons of Life.

From the Philadelphia Press.
The coward is the most friendless of
men.
The past of a mans life never dies; it
only sleeps.
Only he who owes no debt can be at
peace with all men.
There ere times when the one is wisest
who knows the least.
Moral courage is the surest key 10 the
heart of a pure woman,
No man ever conquered who began a
struggle with his eye shut.
There is always sunshine on the other
side of every cloud.
Genuine extravaganza is appreciated
only by the very poor.
Life is a tragedy er a comedy accord>
isg TO ones own Interpretation.
Failure never leads to popularity. The
royal path TO popularity is success.
1t is a clever man who can obtain in.
formation without asking questions.
When it is absolutely necessary to
strike a blow it is a mistake to strike
gently.
Some men are SO eager TO get ahead
that they forget to start on the Iigh,
track.
A man may be clever without being
wise, and wise without being clever
Few men are both clever and wise.
Treat every man as a gentlemen, and
you will be treated as one yourself. Act
as if you thought other men were ours,
and some day you will be treated like a
yellow dog.

A fool Kansas pup. while strolling
through the fields with his mother, stuck
his nose into what he supposed was
simply a hole in the ground; but the next
instant the female bumble bee who was
raising a family in that hole, backed up
against that pups nose in a way that
caused him to ''yip" with great vigor
and fall over himself several times in his
haste to get out OF that Immediate vicin-
ity. And the pups mother remarked
quietly, as sLe observed the swelling on
her offsprlng's %nostril, My son, it is a
good scheme to find out who hole be-
longs to before sticking your nose into
it,"
Moral-Reckless haste in rushing iato
things he knows nothing about has
gotten many an individual into trouble.

The editor of the Meade Globe has
brought his ponderous Intellect 40 bear
Gu the subject, and concludes that there
is no harm in a social dance, if INDUCED
in at the proper time, but thinks il is
wrong to dance on Christmas, Memorial
Day or the Fourth of July. The Globe
may be right as regards the first two
occasions mentioned. but why should
not dancing be enjoyed on the Fourth

The article in last weeks paper in answer
to made on the plans of raising
money for the benefit Of the church seems to
have stirred up something of an interest, not
only among church members, but also among
those who make no profession of religion.
The writer was severely criticised fer his re-
marks, but as the criticism mostly took the
form of ill~Datured remarks, they didn't
count for very much. However, we both
cannot be right, and if we are wrong we
want to know it. We therefore will make
this proposition to those whe claim that it is
right to raise money for the church by beg
ging il from outsiders" or by conducting
entertainments for which we expect nom
christians to pay:
If they will show us one passage of scripts
ure which states or intimates that an Offering
to God, from Cain to the advent of Christ,
was acceptable to Him if it were not offered
out of love to Him, then we will say that
you are right and We are wrong.
Again, if you will show us a passage in
the New Testament showing that any one ex-
cept the professed followers of Christ were
asked TO give for the benefit of the church,
or for the benefit of the members thereof: or
that a gift fer those purposes was ever ac-
cepted by the church from any one who was
not a professed follower Of Christ; or show
from church or profane history that such a
custom existed in the church for 500 years
after the Day of PentecOst, then we will
acknowledge tina, you are right aud we are
wrong,
The columns Of the HERALD are open to
the advocates of promiscuous charity for the
benefit Of the church TO show wherein they
get their authority,
But the discussion does not end here
We are told by many professed followers of
Christ that il is impossible 10 raise money
to support the church unless we get it from
the worlds people; aud in order to get it Of
them we must give them some worldly
amusement for which they win pay.
Is it possible that Christ instituted His
church on earth and len it to the mercies Of
his enemies, 10 keep alive or kill, as they

A man who was raised in a section Of

THE HERALD is in receipt of a COM
munication from "A Spectator" at Clear
Lake, who desires that his name not be
known at present, stating that the re-
port in last weeks issue concerning the
climbing of the Christmas tree at Logan
was "a whole lie," that the boys did not
climb the tree while the entertainment
was in progress, aud that none of the
spectators were frightened, The writer
of the communication puts it a little
strong. inasmuch as we did not print the
occurrence as an absolute fact, but only
as q report. We gave il just as it was
told us by a reputable party, and while
we have no desire to misrepresent any
body or anything, we have been in-
formed that the article was correct in
the main, with the exception that the
tee was not climbed until the presents
were taken off, and that the people
wished to hold a social atterward, which
the tree-climbers objected TO. The
HERALD tries to publish the truth and
the truth only, and if the boys refrained
from climbing the tree until the presents
were OFF. they should have credi, for so
dslng.

The Caldwell Advance tells a s:ery of
a farmer who dreamed he had sold 1900
bushels of wheat to that many different
persons. A few months passed and the
mans bank recount ran low, for he sold
many bushels on time. he did not have
time TO see each man individually, so he
posted up publicly a notice for all men
who owed him to come and pay. A few
responded, but the rest said: Mine is
only a small matter, and | will go and
pay it one of these days. forgetting that
though each ccoun was small, when
all put together they meant a large sum
to the nan. The man stood it as long as
he could, and when he found himself
starving to death he rolled and tossed
until he fell out of bed and awoke to
find he had only been dreaming and
hadn't sold his wheat. The next day he
went to the publisher of his paper and
said: Here, sir. is the pay for my pa.
