THE HIRED MAN

little more attention to God. rather
like that, what does the Hard" Man
say about it?" The Hired Man knows
that nothing reduces a country to
worry and woe so rapidly as for the
people there to forget God. The
building of reservoirs and irrigating
canals is a most splendid thing to do,
but no country will long prosper on
reservoirs and canals when that peo-
pie have generally forgotten God and
have no respect for his wish and will.
No country is good place to live
when men must work Sundays and
take needed rest from family and
stock. If it is true that men on our
projects in Idaho must toll seven
days in the week, the sooner mortgage
or debt takes their holdings, the bet
ter it will be for them. A good whole
some respect for Almighty God is the
one thing that is needed right here in
the immediate region and until we
wake up to that idea, the man who

most.

1--WE have nice class of young peo-
pie in our Sunday school class, but
seems as though the young married
people with children keep coming in
our class until it is cradle roll and
young peoples class combined. Now
don't you think their place is with
the rest of the married folks?" AS
general rule it is best for young
mothers with bAbes to steer clear of
classes and parlors and groups where
young men and young women are
supposed to have sway. | recall one
time when one of my unmarried SIS
tiers was peeved beyond measure just
because young mother came into
the parlor with her babe and sat there
and exhibited her offspring with de-
light. You understand that it is a
pretty difficult matter for young
father to walk into a store and ask
former unmarried sweetheart for a
package of safety pins. | think your
question has been asked on the
grounds that it is more ethical not to
mix babies and young people, and in
this you are certainly correct. vi
course it is entirely proper for young
mothers Cor older ones) to take thel1
babies to church, but to corral them
in the intimacy of a Sunday schoo
class of young people is subject to
criticism from the elite.
