In an nrticle by J. V. Little in the
columns of the Vantage Recorder
Of Deckertown Of last week he tries
to make it clear as to where hell
and heaven are located. Many emil
nent divines have failed to locate
those places and the public mind
may now be at rest as to what
direction they will take, de says
also that 1.-THE immortal man will
live forever in an immortal body
that be will occupy as soon as he is
taken from this mortal body" How
does that agree with the doctrine Of
purgatory of the Catholic church.
On Sunday last the mercury only

Now that the hunting season is

and some who are pretty old boys,
who are trapping for skunks and
are catching more rabbits than
skunks would quit the business.
Stop the sale of all game is the only
way to protect the game.

The divorce OWL is being dis
cuased on the rostrum, from the
pulpit and by the press as never
before. Throughout the north and
west ministers are refusing to
marry persons who have been di-
vorced for any cause whatsoever.
This is striking at the effect and
not at the cause. Agitation will,
of course. to some extent arouse
and awaken the public conscience,
thereby accomplish some good, but
it appears to rs TINT the most eff
,fective means of counteracting
this monster evil is by proper
teaching in the home. Rear a
generation of young men and
young women who have high ideals
and q proper conception of life !;
who regard the marriage relation
as sacred and is not to be trifed
with, then there will not be the
thousands seeking human devices
to cast asunder what God has
joined together.

The fundamental Democratic
principle is--majority rule. Every
Simon pure Democrat bows to the
will of the majority of the people
whether it be expressed by the
ballot.or by their representatives
in convention assembled. On be-
ling asked whether or not be would
abide the result of the st. Louis
convention, William ]. Bryan, who
is more autocratic than Demo-
cratic, replied: "Things have not
developed far enough yet to tell"

he will notacquiesce in the doings
of the majority of the body as will
every true Democrat.
