l was glad when they said unto me,
Let us go into the house of Jehovah.
Psalm 1872, /.
Man has four fold nature: Body,
mind, social and spiritual. The ed
ucation and the manner of living
that does not develop each of these
natures is defective.
On the east of our town we have
colony of people who challenge the
admiration of all, because they are
loyal to their ideal concerning the
development of the full humanity.
On the west side Of town, we have
buildings that stand as representa-
tives of people mostly living in the
adjacent country who are loyal to
their conception of the religious ma
turc of man. In the center of the
town, We have the home of people
who are loyal to their faith
Besides these we have number
of folks who, on account of temper
ment, childhood influence, and for
conscience's sake cannot find
church home in any one of the three
named above. These worship in
small building in the north end of
town and are as nice little church
family as can be found in Nezperce.
After having classified the people
into these church groups, there re-
mains as many as seventy-fve adults
who are not regular attendants at
any place of worship. Some of these
go to church occasionally. Some can
not attend on account of conditions
livery barns, hotels, drug stores for
medicine, telephones, and some 9th
er places must be kept open on Sun
day the same as on other days. The
physician must be ready to attend
the sick at any time. People engag-
ed in any of these calling deserves
the respect and sympathy of all good
people.
Man is so constituted that he can
do his best work and be Of most use
to the age in which he lives when he
gives one day in seven to rest, recre-
alton, culture and worship. What
right have any of us to take on bus
mess for sake of gain that will de-
Drive US and those who labor for us
If this blessing that our natures de-
nand2 We have a good community
out we have some serious defects.
IS it not true that our churches and
'ur public schools are doing more to
build up the people and prevent evil
han all Of the police force of The
own and county?
We have our fudes and factions,
'ur boot-legging, our profanity, and
,ur obscene story telling of such
vileness that were these productions
tut in writing and sent through the
nail, the authors could be convicted
# crime. We are not all that it
$ our privilege to be.
We owe our young people the best
xample that we can set before them

reate an environment that will be

We are aware that number of
xcellent young people have gone in
, life from this locality who are
itizens of high quality. Did these
Dung people come from homes of
sligious influence, or did they go
