reported it to God, God said that was
better than none al all. | do not
know how we'll the CITY prayer meet
ings are being attended, but good is
sure to come from ever so poorly at
tended prayer meeting, if they are in
earnest. When people quit praying
God quits giving. and this is SO abb
solutely TRUE that one only needs to
refer to the past.
The roads in this part of Idaho are
impossible, except those that have
been graded, graveled and sanded.
To get off to the side on some flat
road means submersion to the bot
tom of the car But no matter how
poor the roads are today, they are
better than they were before. In a
few years the automobile will be good
for twelve months in the year in
Idaho. This year there were three
months that cost all the other nine
| cost so far as operating expenses were
concerned. The man who drove his
car in the mud, paid for it. and there
are none exempted.
"How does the Hired Man look
upon this matter of Sunday picture
shows?" Some of the very best peo-
pie in Caldwell want the Sunday
show None of the worst are against
| it. Not all are bad who want It, but
every bad one in town wants it. The
church members who are worth most
to their churches are against it, and
those who are worth the least to their
churches are for it. If city, or state
or nation, does not put in good deal
of the time ON Sunday thinking about
God, it most surely does not put in
any time in the week. If the city is
going to farther and farther drift
away from the rational piety and a
just worship of the Supreme being
even for the beautiful things, then we
need not long look for the blessings
of God, no matter how many Arrow
rock dams and Lake Lowells we have
sticking around in the country. Nc
nation has ever fallen with its face
toward God and the keeping of his
fundamental laws, and no living mar
can refer US to the history of any an
cient or modern nation that has Ions
endured after it forgot God and hi:
laws. 1t may be admitted that
great many of our children want thu
Sunday show, but I have never beer
in favor of even turning the home
over to be operated by the children
and l am just as much not in favol
of turning the town over to them
while the men and women sit supinely
by and lose, through mistaken ide;
about the loneliness of ,unrestrainee
adolescence.
