The Preachers
Battle
(Selected)

If God or man has manlier busi-
ness than preaching, that business
has not been set down in the list of
masculine activities. Preaching is a
robust business. 1t is nothing lady
like. The preacher is not man of
cartilege. he is a man of bone and
slnew. He feels the riot of mighty
deeds. Life is epic to him.
1T takes more courage to be
preacher than to be a gladiator, or
stormer of fortresses, because the
preachers battle is ever on, never
ceases, and lacks the tonic of visible
conquest. In the preacher business
the sight of the eye helps so little.
Plaudits are lacking, huzzas are 81
lent. Whatever his service, urban,
civic, patriotic, or literary, no ac-
claim greets him. His must be a life
of clamorless renown. He feels the
sullen antagonisms of unrighteous-
ness and often hears it's bitter and
envenomed voice; but the procession
of triumph belongs not to him nor
his hour, but please God to that far
day when the humblest men and wo-
men shall have the crown and the
plaudit at the hand and voice of God.
The battle beats fiercely. 1t is against
principality and powers, against
Spiritual wickedness in high places:
II is tireless as the dreadful fight be-

Sunnyland Admits
Defeat

At last Idaho Falls admits the su.
periority of the Beet Diggers from
Blackfoot, and their metropolitan
daily of Tuesday morning says, "On
Sunday afternoon the Sunnylanders
met their third successive defeat at
the hands of Doc Kestner's beet dig
gers.''
It was said by Sunnylanders on
Saturday, after the day was lost that
Il their men did not retrieve their
losses on Sunday the same would
lose their jobs, and would be tanning
the breeze in search of other roost-
ing places, and while we have not
been watching the trains and the air
lines, we have enough faith in the
word of any Idaho Falls rooter to
feel assured that the first of the week
witnessed an exodus from that city
and that Sunnylanders are busy
selecting other men for our boys to
wallup.
About two hundred people went
up from here Sunday to witness the
victory, and when they get lined up
again our folks will go again to see
the beet diggers eat 'em alive.
This is what Bush Livermore edi-
tor of the Pocatello Tribune, says
about our boys.

The first notable event which oc-

9th of July, 1884, when Rev. Jason
Lee who was travelling for the Amer

sermon in the grove back of the fort,
it being the first Protestant sermon
ever delivered west of the Rocky

national politics as is under head
way now The republican party is
divided into two distinct branches.
They are as far apart as any two
political parties ever were They

politicians who were willing to fool
the people by revising the tariff up

the most notable breach of trust
ever pcrpctrated upon any people.
The standpatters belong to that
class who offer no excuse for fraud,
but gloat over the fact that they
always win. They belong to the class
who are willing to win at the eX-
pense of honor. They belong TO
the class that is swept into Of

the money of the trusts, and they
belong to the class that pays that
money back to the special interests
