IS IT sACRILIGIoUs OR NOT.
The too common perversion or changing o
the scripture these times, seem to US out o
place, and entire = uncalled for, and we DE-
think to use the holy and inspired word o
God fippantly, jestingly by adding to, o.
taking from to suit the occasion, ia nothing
more nor less than sacrllege.
We notice in last weeks Issue "olipping''
which was q parody on the 28rd Psalm
that most beautiful psalm In which Christ II
represented as tho loving Shepherd leading
and caring for His sheep. We like fun, vii
and humor but when 1t is made at the ex
scriptures, we look upon 1t in another light
entirely.
