In Mem0riam

Adopted by St. Paul's Branch,
476, G. X. of A.
Whereas, in view Of the loss we
have sustained by the decease of
our friend and brother, Henry
Barre, who died May 4th, 1912,
and the still heavier loss sustained by
those who were nearest and dearest
to him. Therefore be it resolved
that it is but a tribute to the mem
ory of the departed to say that in
regretting his removal from our
midst we mourn for one who was,
in every way worthy of our respect
and regards.
Therefore, be it resolved, that we
sincerely condole with these nearest
and dearest of the deceased on the
dispensation with which it has
pleased the Divine Providence to
afiict them and commend them for
consolation to Him who orders all
things for the best and whose chas
tisments are meant IN mercy.
Therefore, be it further resolved
that this heartfelt testimonial of
our sympathy and sorrow be sent to
his family and published IN the Star
Herald and Pocahontas Times, and
be spread upon the records of the
Branch. FERD SPlNNENwEBER,

That Blue-MilliOn Debate

We are in receipt of communica'
tions relative to the Blue.Million
debate, which has been the subject
of much discussion during the last
several months, and which we un-
derstand, has been declared off. /.
Each side is claiming that the other
side backed out, or words to that
effect, and are now asking us TO
publish letters in their defense.
This, we regret, we shall have to
decline to do. We would be glad
to accommodate our friends and are
willing to render them any reason.
able service, but to publish these
letters would only bring about an
other long drawn out, useless, dis
cussion through the newspaper.
Our advice in the matter is to drop

time to come. There Is nothing to
be gained in these so-called religious
debates and the sooner these person.
al, mudslinging discussions are
relegated to the rear the better it
will be for humanity. Instead of
churches fighting each other, they
should join hands aud as band of
Christian brothers, wage united
warfare against the one great enemy
of mankind and let the little, insig
nifcant church differences be for
gotten.
