In Rev. Moses Hull's discourse to-
night at the Stone Church. corner of
Second avenue and Church street, he
will compare the lives of John Wesley
and Thomas Paine. with no disparage-
ment to the latter. Falsehoods have
been circulated about each of these
great men. but they have each told the
truth about themselves. Mr.. Paine
came to America to establish re-
public; Mr.. Wesley to prevent the pso-
pie from founding a republic. Paine
succeeded Wesley failed. Hence the
opposition of the clergy to Paine.

erloo base ball team, who attended the
meeting of base ball enthusiasts in this
city Wednesday night. attended a sim
liar gathering in Boone Thursday.
Boone was prospective candidate for
n place in the Eastern Iowa League.
but town factionalism prevented this.
So far as baseball is concerned that
city is divided into a north and south
side, with the base ball park con-
trolled by the northsiders. The OPP
posing faction also has a park. and
each wants the games to be, played on
its grounds. An effort to bring them
together failed, as no agreement could
be reached, altho Mr.. Myers used every
effort. AS result Boone is not likely
to be represented in the league. There
Is still one vacancy, but there are sew
eral applicants for 1t. The one to be
chosen will probably be settled upon at
th.4 meeting in Oskaloosa next Thurs
day.

The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-04-19

How easy becomes the acquisi'
ton of happiness when we dis
cover the very minds of happi-
ness--the giving of happiness.
There is kind of happiness pos
sessed by narrow souls that
comes from over-reaching 9th
ers, getting ahead in the world
no matter what happens to 9th
ers, rising no matter who is trod-
den down; but such a happiness
is known to be spurious by all
who have the real kind. Our
own happiness is the greatest
when we are giving the most,
and any other form has not the
true ring about it.
1t is a mistake, however, to set
out with a grim determination OF
doing something that shall make
someone else happy. 1t makes
happiness too formal matter
altogether, and sometimes if we
are sufficiently grim about our
determination to make people
happy in q way we think they
ought to be happy, we shall
brighten happiness away instead
of increasing it, and such forced
happiness anyway is so easily de-
tected that we deceive no one ex-
cept ourselves. Knowing that
joy comes from giving joy, then
let us cultivate spontaneous easy
way of helping others to brighten
lives, SO that they detect in us
neither patronizing air nor an
insincere note.
Following out this idea, the
duty of doing good is no longer a
duty but a pleasure, and the more
we rise into this spirit of benevo-
lence, of good will to all our
neighbors, the greater will our
influence be to steady the minds
of those who sorrow and to light
en- the burdens of those who are
bowed down.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-04-19

Some people think that they
show weakness and softness by
adopting refinement of behavior.
OF course, manners are only
surface indications, and they can
be assumed by villains, yet man
ners without speak of virtues
within, and we should never
hesitate to adopt the refinement
that is sincere. OF all the try
ing human beings that can be
met, almost the worst is the
young man who makes manners
simply a matter of monkey i'm
itation, the namby- PANTY man
ners are the proper things.
Sidney Smith says Manners
are the shadows of virtue" and
we can depend upon it that
everything which increases our
genuine courtesy towards others
takes its origin in the long per-
iod when human beings were
learning to omit constant strife
and warfare in their relations
with each other. Even if bad
men ape good manners, it does
not make good manners any the
less estimable; for if it did, then
we might argue that truth and
uprightness are not to be con
sidered by us because sometimes
for evil ends truth is feigned.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-04-19

jealousy is aroused and carried
to an unreasonable extent. 1t
soon becomes so strong that if
one family employs certain
physician some of the friends of
another practitioner are vexed
and the first family is cut off the
visiting lists of the others. The
same condition exists in regard
to attorneys, merchants, artisans,
and in fact all lines.
Having succeeded in thus crea-
ting a turmoil the Knocker
chuckles and smiles at the result
of his vicious work.
Verify the Knocker is a crea-
ture of evil moment. He view S
life and things through the eyes
of pessimist, and his influence
is felt in all communities. The
only way to kill that influence is
for other people to look upon
matters optimistically, to pull
together, to create a feeling of
harmony and so work to the end
that the whole people may be
benefited. When this is done
the Knocker will find his voca-
ton gone and, while he may
never entirely cease his disgust
ing habit of hammering, he will
be so effectually squelched that
he will be glad to keep silent,
though he grumbles at the fate
he brought upon himself.-Ex.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1904-04-19

The greater the soul that
dwells in a doer of good, the less
will be the fear of contamina-
ton when brought in touch with
the evil and the vile. Why is it
that some men have so much
more power than others in lift
ing up the defeated and giving
sight to the blind ? 1t is because
no living soul, still in it's right
mind, is ever absolutely dead to
genuine sympathy, and the great
soul goes not among such to de-
nounce in violent words but he
goes among them to show sym
pathetically that there is better
way. After all, much of the
evil that men do is not because
they will to do evil, but because
they do not know to do good.
Much sin is ignorant. 1t must
be so, for the way of upright
ness is the more comfortable
way. If we see a young man
spending his life riotously, cry
ing out for short life and a
merry one, it means that his
knowledge is imperfect, his eda-
cation has been of the head only,
and the sympathetic friend that
shows him the better way will
make much more progress with
him than the stern layer on of
the. rod of chastisement.
