'back number.

some good work with the grader on
the ways in east Greeley.
A workman who was engaged in

for fear
Someone win swipc our piece Of steer.

NJ. 3. WOnsmus, Of Audubon is in
| Greeley, building Il barn on the Mar
| tin Kness farm. New barns are spring
| ing up everywhere.
Superintendent Farquhar drove
| down from Audubon, the latter part
of the week to deal with some trouble
in the Little Valley School.
The Audubon County Journal has
Derpetrated Oke, the brilliance of
which cXcelS everything in the history
Of journalism. In the hands of any
thing other than cOnSummate artist,
the deed would have seemed Ml-bred,
and resulted disastrOusly. AS it is,
the papers twenty-five hundred sub
scribers are COnVulsed with wholesome
laughter (y), the tritling cost Of which,
is the pleasure of but one poor little
patron way out among the corn teIds
Of Greeley, who was induced by his
muse to stray beyond the wearisOme
| routine OF neWSWritlnG and essay, and
sing his lOneSOmeuess away. How
ever. there is Il bit Of consolation in
| the thought that our embarrassment
| is some ones pleasure. But is it an
elevating pleasure? Not SO eleVating,
perhaps, as is our humiliation. We
| thank you.
In the course Of recent address.
| Bishop Fowler said, in regard to mar
riage: "lf had two women to choose
| from. one with common sense and the
other only religion, | would take the
one with common sense We be.
iCEp that there is nothing more force.
| iuI in lifting human beings to be gOOu
| wives faithful fathers, Obedient child
rem, and Loyal citizens than is relig-
ion: religion, however, that differs
somewhat from the prevailing COucep-
ton of religion. Our idea of religion
places Common Sense as its cardinal
element, making religious being
void of common sense, an impOsSibil-
| itV. Common sense is a product Of
faultIess reasoning. 1t characterized
the life of Christ, and were we to obey
the command of Christ and reason to-
gether, the result would be an ample
supply of common sense. Much of
the religion Of today is not true relig-
ion. 1t is counterfeit in that it lacks
the stamp of common sense. He who
has the most common sense, has the
most religion, and vice versa. If, of
two women. the one having the more
religion as is implied in the above
,uotation-is least fitted to be a good
wife, there is something wrong with
her religion. The one having the
more common sense is better fitted to
| be wife because of predOminance
in her, of spirit of true religion.
Those forces which tend to make life
more complete in every detail, and
better tit us for the function assigned
US, are religious, it matters not under
what name they are current. They
are the forces that recover man from
blight. and reunite hmanity and God.
