ENDORSES WHAT
SENTINEL SAID

Dear Mr.. Walker: Your strong.
manly article on page / of the Friday
NOV. 2S) issue of your paper-"A Man
and Bank"-was forceful sermon
that has touched many more hearts
than mine and cant you hear a grand
amen' ringing through space, sweeter
than any cathedral chimes? l have
heard 1T In the expressions OF MANY,
MANY of the good Grand Junction
people whose hearts are true and ten
der, and who are showing the real
christian spirit in giving bread instead
OF a stone to the one-or ones-in sore
need. All this, with your article, has
started a train of thought which wants
to find expression through your paper.
Do you recall little story in the
book of books, Of a crowd of so-called
good men taking a poor sinful woman
to the great Master, accusing her of
sin, and with their cloaks of self
righteousness wrapped closely about
them, waiting for the Master to con-
denim the woman. Then, do you re-
call the sequel? How the GOOD MAN
quietly traced something in the sand
while three men were making their
charges, then when they had finished
he Strengthened up and calmly said,
"let him that is without sin cast the
first stone" Then, when the accusers
one by one. skunk away from that holy
presence. the Master turned to the
woman and sweetly said: Neither do
condemn thee" That in itself Is q
lesson that is applicable to every con-
dition.
l opened the Bible this morning to
the sixth chapter of Luke, and as
read. verses %, 20. 81 to 3S, inclusive,
felt that 1t dove-talled as perfectly
into the storr just referred to, that 1t
was only another head to the sermon
your article unfolded. What beauty
these verses contain: BLESSED are ye.
when men shall hate you, and when
they shall separate you from their
company. and shall reproach you and
cast out your name as evil, for the son
OF mans sake" Rejoice ye in that
day. and leap for joy: for, behold, your
reward is great In heaven; for in the
like manner did their fathers unto the
prophets. But / say unto you which
near Love your enemies, do good to
them which hate you. Bless them that
curse you. and pray for them which
despitefullr use you. And unto him
that smiteth thee on one cheek offer
also the other: and him that taketh
away thy cloak forbid not to take thy
coat also. Give to every man that
asketh of thee: and of him that taketh
away thy goods ask them not again
And as ye would that men should do
to you, do ye also to them likewise
For IL ye love them which love you,
what thanks have ye? For sinners
also love those that love them And IL
ye do good to them which do good to
you, what thank have ye? For sinners
also do even the same. And II ye lend
to them of whom ye hope to receive,
what thank have ye? For sinners also
lend to sinners. to receive as much
again.
But love ye your enemies, and do
good. and lend. hoping for nothing
again. and your reward shall be great,
and ye shall be the children of the
highest, for He is kind unto the un-
thankful and to the evil Be ye there
fore merciful, as your Father also is
merciful. Judge not and ye shall not
be judged: condemn not, and ye shall
not be condemned: forgive and We
shall be forgiven; give, and it shall be-
given unto you: good measure, pressed
down and shaken together and running
over, shall men give into your bosom.
For with the same measure that ye
mete withal 1t shall be measured to
you again" d
