The church fair at Little Valley Fri
day night was grand success. Over
tifty-One dollars were good naturally
dropped into the aid SOciety'S treas
ury. The society was highly pleased
with the generosity of the well behaved
crowd and the excellent work of Mr..
Rucker.
The people of fine United States wear
out just two million dollars of paper
money every day. How is that for
business? Two million dollars in
crisp new bills are sent out from
Washington every day to take the
place of the two million in old worn
out bills. sent in and destroyed daily.
The holy purpose of church fair
and the unselfish motives that actuate
the participants make a refusal to per-
nit it to take place in a church build

1t smacks of narrOwness that makes
the practical world and Christianity
cold friends We believe it is whole
some to brush such sparkling thin gS
in among the pews now and then,
r where the atmosphere has become stag
nant with stale theories and far
away sort of religion. In the musS
, left by a church fair, we see evidence
that the grutf world and Christianity
have been shaking hands. Their
footsteps are side by side in the aisle
1 If they were constantly in contact we
feel that Christ would conquer.
, In regard to the debate on the BIZ
ennial election amendment the Regis
, ter and Leader was neutral. Those
two well informed gentlemen here in
Greeley who made material out OF its
; inactivity in fighting the biennial
amendment by falsely stating that this
influential paper was against the
amendment can rest assured that they
are guilty of an injustice, as the fol-
lowing quotation from the editorial
page of that paper for Nov. % as fol-
lows will prove: "If the Register and
Leader is meant to be included in the
category of many other papers which
fought the amendment we must insist
upon a correction of the record
Without taking an active part in the
debate the Register and Leader in
dorsed the biennial amendment.
Now one of the gentlemen above re-
ferred to said that he was reader of
the Register and Leader, which makes
the case look very much like mis-
representation. We admire an hon
est opponent and deem a tussle with
him profitable although we are van
quished; but to cross swords with one
who has not Scruples sufficient to hold
within the bounds of fairness is with
out benefit. We would have been ST.
lent on the matter had it not been to
vindicate our favourite paper and re-
move the false impression left by the
unfair manner of opposing the amend
ment.
A SINNERS SOLILOQUY.
How calm the evening! How serene.
Yet in my breast storm
Is tossing wild broken heart,
While sorrows round it swarm.
Here lies a hutteiing wounded life
Behind smiling face.
Where Happiness once gaily passed
There now remains no trace.
Here Joy impressed her sweet last kiss.
The day she said adieu
| cried Come back, oh Joy, come back
To me you are untrue.
She pointed to my troubled breast
And said with wounded pride,
Where such deed is possible,
never can abide.
[ looked into my broken heart
Oh what a shocking sight.
Remorse armed with a deadly knife
Had murdered Peace outright.
, Here silent in my bosom lies,
The still cold corpse of Peace,
Der which | sob and weep, hid by
The smffe upon my face.
Now soon will come the last sad scene
5 The lamp of hope burns low.
My poor soul in the gathering gloom.
Knows not which way to go.
5 No beacon light to guide it home
I No reckoning hand, no call.
y A wall, plunge into the dark,
= Death spreads his awful pail.
