ia. Democrat: The following
IRON g western paper; tho intend

iitably considered by people of

"Quitea large number Of lead
ing spirits throughout christendom
are calling halt; tic church is
forging ahead i'll tcmporalitics but
tagging spiritually. Iii temporal
matters she cail ncvcr succeed satis-
factorily until she subortlinates
every interest to the spiritual.
Success i'll money getting may
be disastrous to the church, every
thing depends on the method en-
ploycd.
Once men and women realize
that every thing seen, tasted, heard
said or done, becomes cducative,
that 4 church which resorts to fes-
tlvals, etc, for the support Of its
institutions is educating the
people to give from wrong mo-
tive; that a few years of such train
ing will drop it below the level Of

The mistake is made in adop-
ting such method at that time.
God may have brought the
church to a financial strait as he
does individuals, to test the quality
Of its faith and integrity. In such
q moment let the church 90 down
before God in humble faith and
prayey and then out of its deep
poverty, with JOY give.
lie will order things his own

never intended his church should
be dragged through all sorts of
doubtful methods in order to be

eat oysters or chicken pic; but it is
wrong to educate a community to
support the gospel by receiving in
return quid pro quo. The gospel
contains within itself and men
must be SO educated what is in
finitely more valuable than things
that perish"
The foregoing deals directly with
some church doings i'll our com

CLIO CORRESPONDENCE.
Ito11s of Interest From 1hfS Hus.
Ting Little1 City.

On Sunday morning the Rev. f..
2. Easterling delivered a sermon
that should be put on record in tho
place of any sermon that Talmage,
Sam Jones, Tom Teitch or any other
noted Divine ever preached to an
average congregation. His subject was
self dependence and individual res.
possibility. He argued in chris.
tian spirit and proved his argument
by the Biblo, that every man is en-
titled to his own views and opinions.
He did not tell us like the folks in
Greenland do, ask the preacher before
you do it. He said the preacher was a
man the same as any other man. He
said chat he had heard Of people say.
lug | will do this thing if the preach.
or don't find 1t out or If my christian
friends don't hear Of it. How true Co
human nature this is iu Greenland
And then he said prove all thinga,
hold fast to that which good don't ask
the preacher what is right, take the
Bible in prayerful spirit for a guide
and quit the wrong thing; do the
right and depend on llio light thet is
given US through Gods Holy writ.

will tell the preacher the elephant and
the two little hogs hitched to tho
wagon were after you all night, and
the man with the red lemonade too
They liked to canght me. but as Bill

A friend brought me basket Of
'taters" the day after the circus NV
appetite was like Solomon says the
ways Of a maiden are very tickle, but
a good woman baked them taters nice
and brown and I went to the market
and bought five cents worth of beef
and we had tatels for dinner and
gravy to go with them. And then the
night after the circus some good sa-
marian put toter custard and some
water right at the head of my bed
where | could reach il; that is why |
dreamed about the elephant and the
two little hogs, and I reckon the two
little girls in blue too. Any how I'll
| say this much for tater custard and
water they will do for big meeting,
thoy will do when you are low spir.
tied, they will do when company
comes on you unexpected, but after
you get back from the circus there is
nothing that can compare with tater
custard aud water.
