Ave, scour the world and preach you
creeds.
And strive yourselves among.
The faith that wins is found in deeds,
And not in silver tongue.
Is he who sings the sweetest song,
Who prays the sweetest prayer,
Yet walks the stricken homes among,
Nor soo,hes the sorrow thea,
Is he who spra~s, is he who dips,
Ii he who doctrine proves,
More loved Of God than he whose lips
No word Of doctrine moves,
Save such as bid--be true 70 all,
And AID as best you can
To raise again the ones who fall,
To love a brother man3
One deed Of right were worth world
or all we hold as creeds.
Let flags OF God that war be furled,
Lest fields grow rank with wee Is.
Go scour the world for wrongs to right
Go give where hunger needs;
Go teach that "God IS Love-" and light
A thousand flames with cr9-ds.
For when the years Of earth are past,
And full reward is won,
The need will be not creeds held fast,
But deeds that we have done.
do believe in God-not creeds--
In truth and right aud when
That creed keep.in word and DEED

Last year all over the state there were
eary primaries. Some even as early as
February, and from the announcements
OF candidates all over the state it seems
they are expecting 1t this year. If we
have ours as early as last year, in April,
the date is not very far off. Would 1t
not be good policy to fix the time immedi
ately after Christmas so as to let the ques-
lion come before the people in time, and
M giWt them short two weeks notice
as was Aone last year. Give the candi-
dates time to declare their platforms.
People are going to want platform and
principles to vote for next time. Give
them time to hear them.
