HYPOCRITICAL CHURCH
ANITY.

ing why so many Socialists ap-
pear to be lined up against the
church. l puzzled over that prob
lem long time before | got it
fixed. But now it's all as plain to
me as a berry stain on a white
apron.
In the very nature Of the case,
the Socialist is the poor hard
working man the wage-slave-
the under dog. He has been op-
pressed and kicked around over
the world until he is naturally
sore and blue. One day he sits
down in his bare shack, among
his ragged, hungry family, and
begins to think. And he reasons
like this:
Just over the hill yonder is a
fine church which cost many
thousands of dollars. It has a pipe
organ, a paid choir and a high
priced preacher. The preacher
wears long coat, a high silk hat,
and is very dignified. The con-
gregation is made up of the rich
class those who get their wealth
by speculating on the poor mans s
labor. They can dress fine, be-
cause we poor ragged slaves foot
the bill. When these richly dress
ed people enter the church the
ushers bow and smile and lead
them to a cushioned pew up in
front. If I and my poor family
put on our frayed and faded best
rags and venture into that fine
church, we are either ignored or
met with an icy stare that tells us
palmer than words that we are
not wanted. And yet these fine,
rich, aristocratic Christians CD
pretend to be worshipping the
humble Christ who had not a
place to lay His head. Powerful
good Christians! Awfully devoted
to their church! They preach.
pray and sing and do everything
in grand, hifalutin style. They
bask in the sunshine of a well-fed
and self-satisfied churchanity,
entirely unmindful of the fact
that almost in the shadow of their
church dozens of poor, neglected
families are ragged, hungry and
cold. They don't want to know
anything about these things, be-
cause it is pleasanter to worship
God" on cushioned pew and a
full stomach and let the poor
scratch for themselves. What is
there in that kind of ''Christian-
ity" to appeal to a poor hard
working wage-slave? Absolutely
nothing. These high-flying, self
righteous, kid-glove Christians
are all a pack of Internal hypo-

Obituary.

God works in a mysterious
way. His wonders to perform
Our community was made to
realize this from the fact that in
His mysterious way He per-
formed His wonders by snatch
ing from the arms of MI. and
Mrs. Poke Tanner their last
child, and placing his spirit in
the home of the soul
Boyd was eight years of age,
the ideal of his mothers heart
and a source of JOY to his father.
He had suffered very much from
a disease that the medical world
could not relieve, and on the
morning of September 22d, God
ceased his sufferings by sending
His Death Angel with the mes
sage, Come with Me-" He SUI
fered the little children to come
to Him, and now since He has
prepared Boyd's resting place,
let us be submissive TO His Divine
Will. Our loss is his gain, for
we know he has gained a home
in Heaven, where sufferings are
known no more.
We extend our deepest sympa-
thy to the sorrowing parents, and
invoke Gods richest blessing up
on them. 1t is hard to give up
the only jewel of lie; but God
gave it only for a season, and
since He has seen fit to take him
from yon, may you realize He
knowsthe reaso1 that enough"
You have a greater interest N
Heaven than ever before. for in
stead of having two little ones
there, Boyd makes three. These
dear ones cannot come to you,
but by Gods grace, you can meet
them, and may you resolve to do
50. They will be the first to
greet you at the pearly gate, and
there you'll be an unbroken fam
lily in Heaven.
May God be very near the be-
reaved ones and comfort them in
their troubles. We know:
Death has the ties of life Embossed.
But has not dissolved your love;
Millions of infants souls compose

MAKES STATEMENT
NEVER INTENDED TO DO ANY
THING THAT WAS A VIOLA
TIoN OF THE LAW.

DR.. J. R. Martin, formerly of the
firm of Adms & Martin, made the fol-

garding the process issued against
him by the attorney general:
"While l was a member of the
firm of Adams & Martin the govern
ment required us to take out a mix
ing license, that is license that au-
thorized us to sell alcohol in prescrip-
tions. 1t is not a tippling license at
all and does not uthorize in any way
the tipping of liquors. When l left
the firm l directed that this license
be cancelled and surrendered. There
never was any intention upon my part
to do anything in violation of the

upon voluntary contributions of mon

general reading, mostly fiction and
history.
Communications are requested
from those who want libraries locat-

will occur on Saturday, August al, is
for the purpose Of organization for
the ensuing two years. Just who
will be named as chairman has not
been publicly discussd, but w. s.
Williams, the present secretary, will
most probably succeed himself.
While this is the business as set
up in the call it has come from pref
ty straight authority that while in

with the mater of how the nomina-
tions for the legislature will be
made.
Some of the leaders say they have
enough of primaries for the year 1912

a proposition to nominate by a dele,

the same will be issued by the COM
