POLITICAL PRAYER MEETINGS

1t Is a sad day for Christianity when
the church bells call the communicates
together for a political prayer meet
ing. Such gatherings mark the high
tide of religious political fanaticism,
put bitterness into the lives of men;
fan the flames Of class hatred and de-
stroy Christian influence in the com.
munity. The spirit actuating such
meetings is anarchistic,- n-Christlike
and dangerous to both church and
state.

Loren Pedrick's Grand
father Edmunds Was
Born on Christmas
Day

My Grandfather Edmunds lived in
Canada great many years ago when
that country was one vast wilderness
in which the Indians roamed at VIII.
One day when he was driving through
the country buying cattle he sighted
an Indian In the distance coming to-
ward him with his rifle in his hands.
In those days currency was very
scarce, almost all of their money being
silver and grandfather had quite a
heavy sack Of it in his wagon with
which to buy cattle. Grandfather had
never had much experience, but made
un his mind that he would give up his
silver, rather than risk battle with
this armed brave. The Indian came
steadily toward him and when he was
almost opposite, held up his hand and
said stop white man me see deer"
| Grandfather stopped his horses and
looked all around but he could see no
deer. The Indian as soon as he saw that
grandfather had stopped turned in his
| tracks and commenced stalking the
deer. Grandfather decided he would see
the finish and quietly followed the
Indian. The Indian soon came to a
hedge fence where he stopped and rest
ing his gun on one of the branches
waited several minutes for good po-
sition and fired. The Indian jumped
through the hedge fence and started
out on the run for the deer, grandfath-
er following more slowly. As soon as
the Indian reached the deer. he took
out his hunting knife and bled it and
when grandfather came up to him. he
had 1t almost skinned. Grandfather
bought the skin from the Indian. pay
ing him from the silver in his wagon.
The Indian threw the hind quarters
over his shoulders and turning to
GRANDPA Their said white man have rest

as he had come.
Grandfather took the front quarters
home with him and to this day he de-
clares it Is the finest meat he.fsever
