dust between wild Bill and Hard
SCRABBLE / will now try and meet
"Hardscrabble' request to settle the
mud that he complained Of Now
Friend Hardscrabble" must remem-
Der that in order to settle the mud,
will first have to kick up some dust, so
here | come with dust in the air, and
want all the readers of the News and
especially the christians and bible be-
levers to get their bibles and read the
texts | give you. Then tell me if you
can understand them 1t is said in
Genesis 3: 8"And they heard the voice
of the Lord God walking in the garden
in the cool of the day " Tell us how a
voice can walk. Again Genesis 6:6,
And it repented the Lord that He had
made man on the earth and it grieved
Him at his heart. Now turn and
read Numbers %: 49, God is not a
man that he shall repent Tell us how
it is God repented and at the same
time He should not repent. Read Elk
odus 4:21. Here the Lord said II will
harden Pharoahs heart that he shall
not let the people go. Now if God
hardened Pharoahs heart then was
Pharoah to blame for what he did?
Notice Exodus %: B, Neither shall
thou cOuntenance poor man in his
cause" The revised Bible says, Thou
shalt not favor a poor man. Tell us
if that is right not to countenance or
favor poor men? First Samuel 1914
it is said the spirit of the Lord de-
parted from Saul and an evil spirit
from the Lord troubled him. Now do
you believe the evil spirits come from
God? In 2nd Kings, 10: 35 we read
And it came to pass that night that
the angel of the Lord went out and
smote in the camp of the Assyrians
hundred four score and five thousand
and when they rose early in the morn
ing, behold they were all dead corps
es. - Tell us how it was they were
dead and at the same time they arose
next morning. Now read Isiah 40: 8,
who is blind but my servant, or deaf
as my messengers that l sent. Who is
blind as he that is perfect and blind as
the Lords servants? Do you think
that is true? The servants of the Lord
are blind and deaf That is a bad fix
for a servant to be in, isn't it, Fix
the above up if you can.
Next turn to the New Testament,
Mathew 8:11, And then will l pro-
fess unto them never knew you. De-
part from me, We that work iniquity. -"
How is it that the Lord never knew
those people and said they were work
ers of iniquity. Have your preachers
to help you fix up the scripture texts so
you can believe them. Mathew 8: IL
10, MANY shall come and sit down in
the kingdom of heaven but the child
rem of the kingdom are to be cast out
into outer darkness. There shall be
weeping and crashing of teeth. The
above seems to be little funny way to
treat the children Of the kingdom of
heaven What say you? Now read
Mathew 10: IS, Behold | send you
forth as sheep in the midst of wolves
Be therefore wise as serpents and
harmless as doves. Would they not
be wise if they were as smart as a
snake. Now turn back to Deuterono-
my 1921, "Ye shall not eat of any
thing that dieth of itself. Thou shall
give it unto the stranger that is in thy
gates that he may eat it or thou may
est sell it unto an alien for thou are
holy people unto the Lord thy God "
Now, if some of you will try to above
and when you have a hog or COW that
dies of itself, sell it to some one to eat
and see if you don't get into trouble
and you wouldn't be very safe either if
you were found guilty of doing such a
| thing. Now, when you read the above
scripture tell me what you think about
| the same.
Keep the paper that contains this
and I will explain all the above so you
can see the mud is settled all right,
but the dust must be raised before |
will settle the mud. Now, Hard
scrabble come on with the rest and
give us your belief on the above scrip
ture I will say my friend from Pleas
ant Grove will take your advice and go
slow and let "Hardscrabble'' alone. ]
think he has got wild Bill in a
close place 1t won't do to say he has
caught "Wild Bill in another yarn,
but what he lacks is not much. l won't
say anything more about wild Bills'
big foot. I guess if she has done what
she Promised to do-dress up Hard
scrabble" she has got herself some
new shoes by this time so we couldn'
see that big foot if we wanted to.
Well if she has she is cheating the
ground every step she makes-puts
down foot every time she steps and
takes up IA inches. have forgotten
myself but it is hard to keep from
telling the truth, so pardon me this
time and | will do better next time.
