At the present time tho Mohammedana are
holding revival over IN Turkey and the Eng
ikh are backing UP from the Dardauolles think
ing that the Turks may got earnest n their
revival as a holy roller meeting Is here In this
country They call this holy war.
Al Red BIRD just east OF us the negroes are
earnestly discussing whether tho Vcrdlgris or
tho arkansas river church are both the true
one, or Just one OF thcm-depCnds OF course
whleh one they fret saw the light IN which
side OF tho debate the nosro takes.
IN conclusion viii state that IL would not be
wei to dsband the Catholics, even in your Wild
est imaginative dreams It wcro possible to do
so, as the British did the small French village
OF Nan-Prea. Basil and Eyangelne were both
Catholics, and Longfellow made a beautiful
poem out OF Arcadia, In fact, it's considered a
classic at this day.
SO let us exercise that greatest Of all gifts
called charity, and when we emlgrato from here
to other stars that Eleam and glow, will ali
our puzzels be made clear? Well, maybe yes
an maybe no,
