Similar Treatment.

the young people of Burke's Garden
completely surprised the family of
Rev. r. Homer Anderson, the Luth-
eran pastor, with most liberal poun-
ding. They met at a central point in
the Garden, from which place they
went to the parsonage in automobiles
and buggies. To mention the things
they brought as an expression of
Christmas cheer and goodwill would
make too long list. Perhaps the 49,
pound turkey and the large Christmas
cake should be mentioned. The best
of everything Burkes Garden pro-
duces to eat.was left in large quanti-
ties. No longer is the "larder lean"
The parsonage was gladly turned
over to the young people for the ev-
ening. They served hot chocolate
and cakes and spent a good social
hour. The young people of the COM
munity organized themselves into a
young Peoples Society" few
months ago at Central church, and
are now doing atcive work under the
guidance of their gifted leader. But

Dear CREssET Editor and
Friends, Seams like our Cor.

And it makes no difference
how good and honorable a chris.
tian some men may seem to be,
they get out Of tune With God.
For the land lords of Iowa Of

bought land for 10 to Is dollars
per acre: Went TO town In lum.
ber wagons, they hired men
work all summer and had to walk
their shoe soles of, If they got
their wages in the fall.
And today the same land is
worth 225 dollars per acre. And
they go to town In Automobiles
with the latest improvements on
it, So you don't have to crank
it any more. And you own from
two to u sections Of land and
have moved OF to town to take
life easy. and you have from 10
to 100 renters on your laud, and
you receive from $4,000 to
$4,000 from each renter per
year cash money.
Why do you Hon, christians
do thisf It Is because you love
darkness rather than light, and
we know your deeds are evil.
You may tell us that feeding
cattle and hogs, is q gambling

pretty good under the one man

and gamble on the Board of

Why can't you be as good to
