Xmas has come and gone. 1907 has
passed ana it is now 1908. We feel sad
to know that we have done so little for
the Master in past years. We trust
that 1908 may be used by the people
more to the honor and glory of God
and with more love TO one another
than the year that has gone, There
has been too much criticism of each
other | want TO say right here that
the love of God doesn't flow that way.
If man or woman is a Christian and
walks as God would have them walk,
they will love their neighbor
/ see "Uncle Blue, and 'Short
Stop" have been saving at each other
through the News, | would say with
due respect to each of them that it is
not right. know both parties and
"Uncle Blue" claims to be a Chris
tian. "Short Stop said he believed
in unionism Uncle Blue" said that
if he did he ought to practice it, He
said that 'Short Stop did not have
as much union in him as hog. While
he gives some questions and answers,
| will ask the good Lord to guide me
and | will ask some for Uncle Blue
to answer. Is bemeaning a man below
a hog unionismY Is it christianity?
It is running men down to the last de-
gree for working, as God has said by
| the sweat Of thy face shalt thou eat
| bread He also said: He that pro
videth not for his own household has
already denied the faith and is worse
| than an infidel." "Uncle Blue, you
said union meant something. | say so
| too. 1t means or should mean love for
each other 1t doesn't mean love for
one man and hatred for another,
Now, "Uncle Blue, you may not
know me through the News, but when
| you meet me face to face you will
know who | am, and | don t want you
to think that mean any drag at you
but desire to interest you in welldoing
and in your future happiness. See if
there is not little something wrong.
Get it out and come again.
| The Bro Smith, who was spoken of
by "Short Stop and Uncle Blue, - is
! a man who is working for the Lord.
| | think as we start out in the new
year, we should all resolve in our
hearts to do more for the upbuilding
of Gods kingdom than we ever have
| in the past.
We we're Sorry to hear of the death
of Pearl Martin 1t happened i'll a
very mysterious way. We give OuI
sympathy to the bereaved parents AL
so sorry to hear of T. NJ Eakin get
ting shot and also Adam Kilgore but
