The Lord does not commit to any
man a copyright on pure and unde-
filed religion this lesson has been
written in the blood of the ages "by
the bigots of every land. The Eli
jahites should. remember that while
one of the Offices of that prophet
was to rebuke and spare not, yet
Jehovah had to wildly remind the
rugged old preacher of righteous
ness that there were several thous-
and beside he in Israel who had not
bowed the knee to Baal though his
faulty human discernment had per-
suaded him to the contrary. It's
easy for the trimmer to slip into
the error of believing himself the
only immaculate character in the
land.

The anonymous writer from State
Line who signs himself Natural
Facts" but whose real identity is

ing the HERALD will permit its
mission to carry the news, to be
perverted to medium for him to
work off a lot of slush against peo-
pie in his community. We give
him the horse laugh and dump

A certain writer has said that no
newspaper which took truth for its
standard would make a pecuniary
success. The press might return
the compliment by remarking that
no minister who told the truth a.
bout his congregation, alive or
dead, would occupy the pulpit much
lonsger than one Sunday afterward.
The press and clergy go hand in
hand with the white-wash brush,

virtues and kindly throwing little
