A SERMON TO PALlsADE.

While the very powerful sermon de-
livered in Palisade last Sunday by
Rev. Guhse was an appeal to the local
church to awaken to the opportunities
it enjoys as the only religious organi-
zation of the village, at the same time
it's point might well be directed to all
communities over the country. The
vital changes in the moral direction
the world is to take following the
close of the war are already being
taken note Of, and church denomina-
lions of all creeds are seeking to make
a new start on the new ideals that are
actuating the whole world everywhere.
Our soldiers coming home flushed with
victory are to tell us how they have
been impressed with the new forces
that are to rule in the world in its en-
deavor to be worthy of the new de-
mocracy that has been evolved out OF
the great conflict. A summary of this
unusual sermon, printed elsewhere,
will bear reading. 1t seems to point
the way to new endeavors in behalf of
Gods kingdom and Palisade seems to
enjoy an especially fine opeaing for
the greatest percentage Of good that
can come to place of this size be-
cause there are no opposing forces
from other churches to divide the work
of helping the community along to
newer and higher Christian ideals.

Maybe it is good thing that we do
not profit by our mistakes. If we did
we would probably go ahead and make
more.
When mans derby gets rusty it
has to stay rusty. But when wO-
mans hat gets seedy she can always
trim it and make it look like some
thing else.
BLESSED are the meek" But hen
pecked husband is about as meek as
they make them, and he isn't blessed
so you could notice it.
Of course it is none of our business,
but nobody but cab driver ever looks
comfortable in, a high hat.
A man who knows what he is talk
ing about tells us that even when a
woman has twins she manages to find
time to nurse a crouch.

so lengthy that we imagine the bow
