Asa Bachelor Adam Was
Not a Success in the
Garden of Eden.
MOPED AROUND THE GARDEN
Until God Took Pity OH Him
and Gave Him the One
Thing That He Ac-
tuaIly Needed.

In the First Congregational
church of Jersey City, the Rev.
John Scudder, pastor, delivered
the fourth of a series of preludes
on marriage Bells"
1t is entitled How to Choose
Good Wife" Mr.. Scudder
said:
In the Garden of Eden there
were two people a man and his
wife. At first Adam was a
bachelor, but he was not a sue
cess. He moped around the
garden, till God took pity upon
him and gave him a wife. Cell
bacy is unnatural and unsatis
factory. Every man needs Il
womau's love to complete his
life. Every man ofunperverted
instincts desires to establish a
home and install a queen to
reign over it. Men may gibe
about matrimony aud pirate
about single blessedness, but
deep down in their hearts is d
longing for a home of their own
something better than a
boarding house. Married men
live longer than bachelors. The
influence of a wife and children
is wholesome and civilizing.
Some men do not marry be
cause they are selfish and pre-
fer to spend all they earn them
selves; others have been cross
ed in love. Some are vicious
and know they cannot make a
true woman happy. Some have
relatives dependent upon them
and cannot afford to add a wife
to the household. Some arc 50
welded to their profession that
they have no time for family. In
England centuries ago bachelors
used to be taxed, and in ancient
Greece they were horsewhipped
one day in every year by young
unmarried women.
"a bachelor is case Of ar
rested development. He needs
to be sweetened and polished
and tanned by the loving heart
of woman. There is world of
meaning IN that expression ito
be married and settle down.
who SO tindeth wife, findeth
a good thing. But in choosing
a wife man must exercise
judgment. There are many
kinds VI women in the world
and most Of them would like 10

SOMEWHAT RACY.

"The Canyon City News, whose
energy has been largely spent the
past few months in abusing the
Baptist college board, and that too
after it had voted them the college,
came out on the "half shell" this
week. "-Clarendon Chronicle.
The above paper has an old
imaginary grievance at the News
that has evidently grown out of
our attitude on the college matter,
and it, like the Amarillo papers,
never miss an opportunity of taking
a shot at us. One can readily see
by the peruSal of the above that
the former allegation set forth was
a breeder of contempt for the latter.
retort that we only came out half
size on Xmas. In the first place
the Chronicle does not know what
it is talking about when it asserts
that the Baptist College board
voted Canyon City the college,
for, as a matter of fact there is no
such thing in existence as "the
Baptist college board" The News
has never said one word derogatory
to the Baptist College Commission
that voted the college to our town
while at Claude, except, that they
had transcribed their authority in
even considering the college propo-
sition at Canadian, and the MAORI
ty of the commission have already
confessed their error. Furthermore,
we still abide by this contention
and can sustain our position by
every righteous law that binds
man. What some have been pleas
ed to interpret abuse in the columns
OF the News, has been that of the
nature of rebukc to the Executive
board of the PaIoduro Association,
for their unrighteouS action Of in
shutting a college at Canadian,
and the News will continue to do
so until they repent of their wrong
doing. There has never been a
paper in the Panhandle that would
attempt to deny what the News
has said, not from any fear of us
personally, but for the very good
reason that they knew they had no
argument to make, but some, like
the Chronicle, will skirt a safe dis
lance from the fierce part of the
battle, and like ghouls in character,
will rob the innocent fallen of their
treasures by using such sarcastic
remarks to mislead the public as
that Of the above one. About the
latter fling, we will only say that
/ concerning the regulation of the
size of our paper, and the other
minor details we are the sole Judges
of such things and beg to inform
the editor of the Chronicle that it
is none Of his businesS-at least
not until he makes satisfactory ar
rangements whereby he can gain
the mechanical control of the paper.
This is a matter that will always
be adjusted to our own good pleas
ure and that of our patrons. These
statements are not made for the
benefit of setting the Chronicle
right in this matter, for we have
long since despaired of getting this
paper on the right side Of this ques-
ton. 1t is made with all due re-
spect to the public minds appre-
ciativeness of what ought and what
ought not be told in order to set
our fellow man right.
