one to take me as a standard. just read
the Bible and decide honestly for your
selves.
see Bro. Dooley has heard of some
comment on his ability to write which
was not very mplimentary. l dare
say Bill can turn either of them down
on any history if he has hauled logs.
1t don't necessarily require jack leg
lawyer or preacher to write,
| want the readers to answer some
questions which will be of some benefit
to a great many | think.
1st Was Judas given power to heal
the sick, cast out unclean spirits and to
preach the gospel?
End. Was the Holy Ghost received by
men and women before the day of Pent-
ecost and before the death of Christ?
II so, on what occasions?
3rd. Who is the Angel Gabriel that
stands in the presence Of God?
4th. If the Holy Ghost was here be-
fore the death of Christ what was the
comforter which Christ said he would
send if he went away, and which would
not come IL he went not away.
8. If Judas was ordained to preach,
to heal the sick and give sight to the
blind, was he at that time good man
or a wicked one? Did he apostate or
fall from grace or was he a wolf in
sleeps clothing? If the latter what
purpose had Christ in giving him such
power?
am not a smart man and am not as
good as some men would like folks to
believe them to be, but l do read the
Bible and try to get some benefit from
it and find many things which are
puzzling to me and l would like some
smart man to help me out.
want to say few words in regard to
the situation at Whitwell We are all
idle and as am one of the boys l take
the privilege to express my views on
the situation. Suppose we are all idle
four months and at the end of that time
we get to go to work at the old wages
better financial condition or worse at
the end of 10 months. ! say worse be.
cause | am satisfied the company would
settle on less reduction than they al
first offered. Now l don't believe in
taking reduction than they at first Of
fered And l don't believe in taking d
reduction when we can help it without
making our condition worse, but If al
the end of the contract, we are worse
isn't it better to work on.
Again why is there no money in the
treasury of the U. NJ. w. of A, in oul
local? What goes with so much money
l am sick ofsuch management. We pay
an average of about $1,000 year to sup
port the order-more than five time'
as much as the government requires vi
us to pay, and to count the stops w
have from work on account of the cavel
ing over a few cents, we are paying
more in one year than would be requir
ed by the government in lifetime.
want everyone to give the matter
careful study and see If there is no
some better way to do business than t.
be always in fuss. Why man don
know whether to make garden or no
for fear of having to leave it, and al
this trouble is brought about by tn
contrariness of both sides. They ar
standing all the time each with hi
brlsJles up like mad cats and each &C
cusing the other with being an enemy.
Now, this will never get labor an
capitalists on friendly terms. w
should, at all times strive TO keep dow
trouble and show spirit of friendship
Try to be helpful to each other; don
try to to tear up tho company's propert
and curse all men who employ labor 10
we must have such men. believe tina
If you would put John Mitchell, Wm
Fairly or any one of the men who haV
the management OF the U. M. w. in th
position Of the employer they would b
as hard on labor as any one.
My idea is to have more work and les
idle men, but we will never have {
nough for all the labor in the Unite
States unless there are laws enacted
protect the labor Of this country
There are more laboring men coming
this country each year than the increas
Of employment demand so you see Their
is nothing but worse conditions comm
as long as this is the case.
