People of the Past
And Of The Present

The pioneer was a rugged seer,
As he crossed the western river,
Where the copper man, called the In
Lay hid with bow and culver.
As for the pioneer, his days are
numbered. AS for the Indian, there
he stands. A spectator on the horizon!
The conflict has been impossible.
There could be no compromise, the
races were too unlike. The red man
had no beauty that our spirits could
desire him. The verdict of civilization
has been, that his room it better than
his company.
In those great movements by which
the populations of the world are trans
formed history is blind, cruel, re-
morseful. She is the least sentimental
of all those diVinities. She neither
smiles at human happiness nor weeps
at human sorrow; she merely attends
to her syllogism. When she finds a
tribe of Nomads living in valley,
adapted to the cultivation of corn, she
sends the news to some corn raising
race and leaves the rest to cupidity
and the casuists. They find it in this
that the soil is intended for those who
viii cultivate it. They fix ON this con-
ulation. The hint of nature is, that

the clover field and the orchard mus
take the place of the brake and tn,
wilderness. 1t is all very beautiful
But how about the other side of the
question? 1t is well for the surplant-
ers-but the surplanted? The red
deer is designed for the canebrake,
the canebrake is designed for the red
deer. Both are designed for the hunt
ed. Is nature not as well pleased to
| be tracked by buck of ten spikes, as
| to be wounded in the breast with a
hoe?
In this world there is but one law:
"The weakest goes to the WALL Men
might as well expect a weight on the
lever to life a greater weight on the
longer, to suppose a reversal of this
law
The pioneers faced hardships that
we never dream of. They have gone
before US, and opened land of free
dom and opportunities. Do we appre-
clate It? They were God fearing peo-
pie, eeking freedom and a land that
they might worship God, and prepare
place that the coming generation
might follow, and became better peo-
pie and have better opportunities. We
have the opportunities, but are we
better people? Think of the old pio-
neers. They would walk ten miles
to hear a sermon, and each sermon
would be two hours long. They would
help each other, they were not sell
fish. If one would have a log rolling
las that was the custom) and his
neighbors should fail to help him, he
would have felt insulted, and his
nelghbors lived from five to ten miles
from him. They did not want an in
vltatlon or money to help each other.
They were not a selfish class of peo-
pie as we are today They went by
the golden rule: do unto others as
you would have others do unto YOU"
They were sincere in their beliefs, and
as pure as the air that occupied the
land they settled.
Look at US today. We are a selfish,
sinful race of people. Do we care for
each other? 1t seems as if every fell
low is trying to come in possession
OF more property than his neighbor;
regardless of how he gets it.
Do we worship God as we should ?
Instead Of walking ten miles to hear
a sermon, as the pioneers did, we will
not go one-haH mile, and if we should
and the sermon is half hour long, we
go home aging the preacher is no
good and many things about his ser
mon.
We talk about each other and see
everybody's faults but can't. see our
own. Instead of going by the golden
rule, we have another. "Do the other
fellow before he does you''
Are we doing as God wants US to-?
Are We treating each other as we |
should?

Geraldine, who was born May 29th,
1919 and was taken from earth to
Heaven August 1st, 1920. She has
gone to our Heavenly home where
there will be no more suffering, no
sorrow, no death. To dwell with so
many little children which our Lord
has so wonderfully blessed
Precious little blossom, from her home
has passed away,
She has gone to live in heaven
Where our Saviour is today
Oh, don't weep for that blossom
For it surely must be best,or our
Saviour would have left it with her
loved ones her on earth.
She is free from all her suffering,
She has gone to that bright land
Where our Saviour babe her welcome
In that home not made with hands.
Little Geraldine, sweet and fair,
Mothers darling" safe up there

clothing for $4,000 destitute and rag

Whatever work has been begun I'M
der Red Cross jurisdiction-and that is
just about everywhere there are Red
Cross chapters-every sort of material
has bee nused to provide garments.
The old -four sacks are just one
item. Two of them, state the Red
Cross Instructions to workers, will
make child's nightgown. One will
make pair of drawers, boomers,
corset waist, petticoat, romper or
apron.
The Red Cross suggests that the
-four sacks be soaked in kerosene be-

tering and avoid embarrassment to
little Czecho-Slovakians who might
otherwise romp about the streets with.
