The Caldwell tribune., 1919-03-21

nuhat ;s the matter with the church
: r.Idwell that people do not go?'
Won better ask me what is the matter
With Nth the people, that they DO not go
tn church. In the year 39/ before
Shr;st the Spirit of the Lord whis-
I'D II all to a man and he wrote it
pm pun and | have a copy of that same
u." ,",tsr and following is quotation
sron, ie..u it 1t is from Malachi: "Ye
ha~a @ said 1t is vain to serve God
n nad what profit is it that we have
sao, @ h;s ordinances, and that we have
Iii m9ited mournfully before the Lord OF
Hosts? And now we call the PROUD
bao6y; yea, they that work wisked,
ness are set up; yea, that tempt COO
nrs rs even delivered" Behold the day
@ oosnctb that shall burn as an oven,
and ali the proud, yes. and all that do
m;ckedly. a,; shall be stubb1e. and the day
that, cometh shall burn them up, saith
The Lord of Hosts, that it shall leave
them neither root nor branch. Do
not start a quarrel with the Hired
Man about these hard teachings, for
thew we're written long before | was
born and they get next to my hide just
the same as they do next to yours.
AWho is the biggest CRATER in Cald-
well or near Caldwell?" / think it is
th;s man Whiffin who lives just this
side of Meridian. For genuine graft,
he beats most any other fellow | have
discovered. There are days that he
never takes anything but grating
breath OF all the grafters in this re-
gion, he takes the palm. He gratis
early and late He gratis six days in
the week. He is pretty high-priced at
il too, but those from whom he does
his grating, or budding. as it is some
times called, say he is an artist at it.
He was telling me the other day on
the car that he had grated, or budded
several thousand trees of certain
kind and not but a very small per-
cent Of the gratis had died. That is a
pretty good record in these days.
"Why don't the Hired Man go on
and name the coming school board p
II he could do that little stunt he
would be some Hired Man indeed. II
behooves US to take an interest in
\ these selections, however, and while
have no child in the city schools, YET
it does matter to me who is the board
The enterprisng citizen gets out and
takes an interest in every one of the
matters that make for the good or bad
Of his own town.
Does it really make any difference
which day We keep as the Sabbath
just so we keep one day holy?" i
you will actually keep one day holy
each week, YOU will probably be jus
that one day better than you are a
the present time. If man actual,
Keeps one day holy, the other six ar,
not going to be so bad M we woult
be willing to bet that certain da,
ought to be kept holy, but we do no
20 II, only we just cling to that as ;
matter of church cred and go on ant
40 Just about as the evil nature sug
gests, there is nothing to it, and les
70 Us. There are two opinions curren
apout which is the Sabbath day, bu
mere can be no more than one opinion
ABOUT what holiness is. The man VIII,
VIII not whistle on Sunday or Satur
aay' but who puts in a good deal o
ms other days making those whisti
WIN whom he has any dealings, don
set by with his efforts at making any
ooay think that he would know holi
,asss II ne met it in the road. The ma
wao VIII not black his shoes on Sat
maay or Sunday, but who puts in
sooo deal of his time blacking othe
Peoples chances at the square dea
is". iUu'an keep one hour holy, muc
H. ss getting BY with the clean whit
Gea &c an OF any one day. That whic
ooa Is gong to save in the next worl
