Can Enemies Be Pleased

Heaven help the man who i'm
agnes he can dodge his enemies by
trying to please everybody! If such
an individual ever succeeds pass
him over this way that we may have
one look at his mortal remains ere
he vanishes away for surely this
earth cannot be his abiding place.
Now we do not infer that one
should be gong through this world
trying to Ind beams to knock aud
thump his head against, disputing
every mans opinion, fighting aud
elbowlng and crowdlng all who differ
with him. That, again is another
extreme. Other people have opin'

George washington on Religion

The great father Of the country
was a man Of prayer. He was a
religious warrior and statesman.
The following from his famous
Farewell Address" is certainly
worth reading:
"Ofal the dispositions and habits
which lead to political prosperity,
religion and morality are indispen.
sable supporters. In vain would that
man claim the tribute OF patriot.
ism, who should labor to subvert
these great pillars Of human happl.
ness, these 6rmest props Of the duties
Of men and citizens. The mere
politician, equally with the prous
man, ought to respect and to cherish
them. A volume could trace all
their connections with private and
public felicity. Let it simply be
asked: Where is the security for
property, for reputation, for life,
if the sense of religious obligation
desert the oaths which are the instru
ments Of investigation IN court jus
tice? And let us with caution in.
dulge the supposition that morality
can be maintained without religion.
Whatever may be conceded to the
influence of refined education on
minds of peculiar structure, reason
and experience both forbid us to ex.
pect that national morality can
prevail in exclusion of religious
principle"
