Thoughts Of Today
Hunting Village Rabbits.

During the past week or SO hunters,
with dogs, guns and presumably
search warrants, have been sedulously
traversing our woods and waste places
in quest of rabbits. The melodious
notes Of the hounds, which sound
somewhat like the walls of lost souls,
have been occasionally punctuated
with the crack of shot, so presume
rabbit has sometimes "h0ve in
sight"
In summer time these creatures are
very abundant and come on our lawn
at twilight, sometimes within yard
Of the house. But when the winter
comes on and it is legal to hunt them,
they get down in the dead weeds and
brush, so that we amateurs would en-
gage in hopeless search to find one.

.PALISADE HAS fine
SERMON ON SOCIAL
SERVICE and ITS NEEDS

Rev. Guhse again filled the Palisade
pulpit last Sunday, and, though he
said he had been quite ill all the week,
he delivered a strong sermon on social
service, taking his text from Exodus
ii, 10, "Come, now, will send thee to
Pharaoh" The sermon was a very
strong presentation of the subject of
social service, and, as usual, was in
over forty minutes long. All good men
who are busy at some great task or
other are called to serve in Gods work
at some time. Peter was fishing and
was an intensely busy man, day and
night, when the hand of God fell upon
him, and he became one of the disciples
of Christ. 1t is interesting to read of
was attending his flock of sheep. He
heard voice, and henceforth he was
to be the shepherd of men. The vision
that Moses had is the vision that IL
Eliminates the church today in it's re-
newed efforts at the redemption of the
world. There is nothing better to bring
into life than the radiance of better
day with God. Social service is the
crown of human achievement. Today
the thing we call social service is the
most commanding challenge of civili-
zatiOn and of the Christian church.
Moses said of the Children of Egypt,
Il know their Borrowings, and have
come to deliver them" How long has
it taken the church of God to realize
means the serving of righteousness as
the ambassador of God to serve His
interests. The minister alluded to the
Indifference of people to church infiu-
ence. Some live within hearing of the
organ and never come within it's pOr-
tails for fifteen or twenty years. They
ask, what's the use, because they are
the greatest force for good in the
world. There is not man or woman
who can escape the church by argu-
ment against it's mission for the re-
demption of the world. AS l said last
Sunday, the opportunity is yours, here
in Palisade Go thou and make the
/
most of it. There is not Protestant
who can dodge the appeal of this little
church of yours-not one. So Moses
saw what would spell for Israel new
world-a new existence. l hope you
will see the meaning back of this APP
peal for social service, said the young
minister, and go out and work to
bring others into the fold of the
church. like to think of some of
these definite things you can do here.
How we do need to develop some of
the good that is in us here at home.
This great European war has appeal
ed to me most gravely. To what great
good fortune have we not played.
Think of only about $4,000 of our men
killed in battle. We sent two and a
half million men over there, and we
left two million idiots in our asylums,
killed through drink for the most part.
Thank God drink is to be taken away
by the hand of the law of this great
moral force now actuating the cOun-
try's leaders. The war figures have
staggered us. For the first time we
have figured in billions. The war has
made us face other facts and figures

Build the Hudson Bridge.

We should all use the utmost of
our influence to keep alive the agita-
ton for the building of the Hudson
River bridge, now that Major Nc
Clave has brought the matter to such
prominence. Write to your representa-
tive in Congress, to the New York pa
pers, to the secretary of war and to
the governor in Trenton. Unless you
do this and show your personal inter-
est in the matter, it will die down and
some other questions arise to take it's
place. Strike while the iron is hot,
and strike till the iron is hot. You
can do both.

Mills and MINIS and Lands.

In Bryan's campaign in 1896 his
most telling phrase was "Open up the
mints." Mckinley capped this by say
ing, "Open up the mills, the mints
will open themselves" The Single Tax
party goes one better than Mckinley
by demanding, "Open up the land, and
the mills and mints both will open
themselves" Tax land values. and the
lands will open up themselves auto
matically.

That viIest Wretch.

The foul ambitions Of that vilest
wretch Of modern times have ended
for all time. Smaller fry may show
themselves later on, but not for years
to come will any man have the oppor-
tunity to exploit nation with the
view of world domination. The ram
gers ahead are of a different nature
altogether What we are now to see
is the struggle amongst the various
elements of society for better condi-
lions. 1t will take time for these ele-
ments to align themselves, but the
struggle is inevitable. In fact, it is
but a resumption of conflict that
was temporarily interrupted by the
war.

New York,s Foolish Attitude.

When our soldiers return they are
to be received only by official cour-
tesies. No spontaneous welcome will
be tolerated. Perhaps it would be as
well to request the public not to con-
gregate in masses and not to offer any
individual expressions of greeting or
applause How would it do to let the
troops themselves do the cheering

The kaiser's American Friends.

The Kaiser says he still has some
friends in America. 1t would be a
very good thing to procure list of
these friends, for they are enemies of
the United States and ought to be in
termed. If they are friends of his,
they must still approve of all his dia-
bolical atrocities and vicious schemes
against our welfare. They must APP
prove of his intent to "stand no nom
sense from the United States, but to
call us to account at the end of the
war, with England and France" 1t is
to be hoped he has no reference to
any officials of our government

Are You Simple?

If A, B and G own an island, they
employ d, e and F to work for them,
but what are G, H, and the rest to
do for a living? They must beg or
steal or underbid the wages of d, +

alphabet to help in the cultivation and
to share in the harvest is recognized
some day there will be an explosion,
accompanied by brutality and violence.
This latter effect is Bolshevism. The

are punished. Are you simple?
