THE CHURCH A CREDITOR
Many men do not think of that
Christian institution-the Church-as
being one of their creditors. If they
think about it at all, they are more apt
to think of it as a persistent beggar
than a wronged creditor.
1t is too true that Church often has
to assume the role of a beggar. The
financial struggle is too obvious in
many parishes. But the Church's Chief
weakness is due in part to her chief
glory, her essential democracy. It is
the glory Of the church that it is open
to rich and poor alike All are on the
voluntary basis; contributions are ac-
cording to ability or interest. Where
can another organization be found that
exacts no level assessments from it's
members alike, or never charges an
initiation fee nor expels members for
on-payment of dues? These things
would make the church club, By not
doing them the church incurs the liza
bility of financial struggle but pre-
serves its christian character as
haven for all, both rich and poor. The
stigma of begging institution
must sometimes be borne with cruel
injustice, while it it fulfilling it's kindly
mission to all sorts and conditions of
men.
The man who reckons his pew rent
or his church allowance as charity, is
wide of the mark money invested in
the local church is not charity or even
luxury but for the prime necessities of
life. The man who pats himself on
the back for his benevolence when he
pays his own taxes or supports his
aged mother in her need All these
are simply payments of honest debts
for value received.
There is an inevitable depreciation of
property in places where the church de-
clines. Keen-sighted business men,
realizing this, value the church as
force for social control. They realize
the real protection the church affords
even the material interest of the COM
munity. Moral anarchy renders prop
erty valueless. An active church is
financial asset to any community.
People who have souls will support the
church for better reason. They need
it's spiritual ministrations. But if
man feels no need of soul culture, let
him at least protect his children and
his property.
Friends, elet us pay our debts first,
after that give what we can to charity.
Evil is wrought by want of thought"
Our failure to assume the debts we
owe our families, our parents, our
fellow men orr schools, and churches.
our communities and our state is due
more often to want of thought than
to want of heart,
| have no desire to cast up the &C.
count for anyone else; have, however,
figured little on my own, and I am
hopeless of ever paying my debts.
But l acknowledge them with all my
heart, and l will pay as fast and near
ly as can.

Some Peculiar Laws.

The editor OF the Edgeley Mail, who
made q trip south, found two states
with peculiar laws. In letter to the
Mail, he says:
Kansas is a funny state and has
some very funny laws. Immediately
upon entering the state all drinking
cups and glasses were removed from
the cars. and each individual desiring
drink OF water was compelled to hus-
tie his own drinking apparatus. There
is no law against drinking the water
ON the cars, but there Is against
drinking intoxicating liquors. A
man doesn't dare to pull the cork out
Of a bottle, for fear there might be a
spotter on the train, and any individ-
ual caught violating the law would be
pulled, rushed before justice, and
soaked the usual tine. One man test
ed the law. and it cost him five hun
dred dollars to tind out that 1t was
constitutional-w which was more than
cared to pay for a drink OF the cup
that cheers. In order not to offend
any Of the sensitive people OF Kansas,
we put up our glasses, and downed our
alcoholic drinks-how We did it must
remain mystery.
We were mailing with pleasure the
coming state Of Texas, as a great
many were getting tired of running
through state with such drastic
laws. We just got nicely into Texas
when a gentleman came into the cal
and said: II am sorry, ladies and gen.
tlemen, but you Will please put w
your cards, as card-playing is not per
mitted in Texas. You can play dom
inoes, if you desire. " That was The
last straw, and the air was blue for a
few moments. as the order meant the
breaking up Of very interesting
whist game. That fool law certainly
came in for some hard knocks

When we'd orter been TO bed.

Had a lot OF pictures in.
Had list of merchandise.

Jim's my neighbor cross the way
Best man ever worked in hay,
Just let him top off stack
Sheds rain like turkeys back.
Pleasure jist to see him work,
Never knew old Jim to shirk;
Swings scythe like it was play
Love to watch him in the hay
Well, we, like a pair Of fools,
Sent off-got some haydn tools.
Jim got harness and pillow.

Drat the thing, it was SO light

Throwed the darn thing in the yard;
Use il now for rendering lard
Fore Jim used the pillow an hour
Found the cheap thing wouldn't scour;
Tried his harness-broke a tug
Sought for solace tn the lug
In the cooler all that night
Jim reflected on his plight;
In the morning, Richard Stout,
Hardware merchant, bailed him out
Jim said afterthat he'd stick
Close as bark to good oil Dick;
Since he left the Po.sum Jail

Could they use some likely shoats?

Also would my friend Sawbuck
Buy some Of my garden truck?"
Answer came one summer day,
