NO MALICE.

We understand that Lawyer Moss is
telling different parties around town
that we threatened his life last Mon
day.
What we did was to visit his ONCE
and hold a gun on his chin and warn
him not to poster US with any more
libel suits. but no threats were made
Indeed, he caved in SO quickly that
no threats were necessary.
We have nothing against Lawyer
Moss and hope he may live for hun
bred years yet.

Samuel Sale of ST. Louis and Rev
James w. Lee, presiding elder of
the Methodist church, aided the Uni
tarians in the discussion. Rabbi Sale
said in part:
"The trouble with most of us is,
that we regard religion as something
separate and distinct from our
lOrdinary, very-day life, as if it were
la glory to be shut up in our churches
and there to be displayed on holy
days and seasons. Our fear of the
Lord is often a meVe lip-service. a
soulless routine, instead OF worship
of the heart.
1T is only natural that in this
frame of mind. we should look rather
for the differences in our faith, for
these things which separate us, than
for the points of contact and re-
semblance, which would draw us into
closer converse and sympathy. We
imagine that we are very near to
God, when in fact we are only. very
far from our neighbor If the only
worship of God, be the service OF
man in righteousness, love and justice
then let us liberals strive with one
another in generous rivalry, to make
real these essentials OF all true re-
ligiOn"
