The campaign for dry Colorado is
waxing warmer as the days go by. and
politics are at high tide and everybody
is on the anxious seat to know what the
outcome will be. The papers are full of
graft in both parties, and there is no doubt
in my mind but that drink is responsible
in d large measure for this rottenness.
What we want to do as Christians, is to
put the brewer out of business. by voting
for tine prohibitory amendment, and the
search and seizure law-~thout it the
amendment would be Of little value, for
we could not prohibit bootlegging unless
we put in office men who will enforce the
law. The passage of these two laws will
make it a safe place to bring up our boys
and girls. 1t is most alarming to note
the utter Indifference of the Christian
people concerning these facts. We need
to awake at this coming election and vote
as you pray. Put the brewer cut of bus
mess forever in Colorado.

TROUBLE ENOUGH

We do not need to borrow
Our trouble from tomorrow;
Wei find enough to worry us before
were through today;
We waste our time in fretting
Ger what's to come, forgetting
The goodness and the gladneSs that
are rich along the way.
We do not need to ponder
On what we left back yonder-
Back yonder on the blotted page that
tells of yesterday;
We should recall the gladneSS
And not bring up the sadness,
But let the gloom go to the dark and
let the sunshine stay.
This casting up of trouble
Will only make it double
VIII only wilt the flowers that are
sweet along the road.
This thing of being fearful
Instead of waXinS cheerful
Because of what has gone will only
add unto our load.
So what's the use to borrow
Our trouble from tom orrow
Or clutch the sorrows that we thought
were ours on yesterday?
Today will have us fretting,
But let US go, forgetting.
And joy will oVertake US while we
walk along the way
