JUDGE GARY AND CHRISTIANITY

The spoken expression or men o.
affairs, big men, is given heed to-
Their spoken thoughts are accepted
as words of wisdom and the multitude
lends a willing ear to what they have
to say.
The same words from men of less
prominence are lost, but when the man
of affairs, the man who has made his
mark, speaks, it is as though the
words came from the brain and the
mouth of an oracle and carry weight.
Judge Ebert H. Gary, man of in
dustry, polished, educated, able, the
controller of vast millions and who
guides the destinies of great industry,
has made the statement that the ideals
of Christianity, the knowledge that
lies in the Bible of the Christian, re-
presents the salvation of the world
No one can accuse or charge Judge
Gary with not being a man of the
world, a strong man, a man of marked
success, and he, with his knowledge
of men and affairs, advises those who
would seek and find success to obey
and know the words that come from
the Bible, which he states, is the
foundation of all law, the fountain
head of all wisdom and that it pays
a nation as it pays an individual, to
follow the Christian course in his
business and his life, using these
words:
1.-THE moral and religious principles
of the Bible, both the old and new
testaments, have never been and never
will be successfully combatted. Since
the preservation of history COM
menced, there has never been any
thing approaching the holy Bible as
a code for proper and desirable hui
man conduct, or as foundation for
future hopes. If any here should be-
lieve this is an exaggeration which
is not probable, read again the book
and you will be surprised"
1t is not fitting for the man of small
affairs, who, in his own estimation |
which men of high attachments advo- !
cate. Judge Gary is man Of high |
attachments, student, a man who, |
with every advantage, has made use
of them, and if he, with his superior
ability, finds use and need for
Christianity and the word of God how
much more does the man of humble
position need this self same wisdom
to achieve desired success?
There are those of less ability who
state and almost boast, that they need
no help, no advice, that they are
strong enough within themselves to
find the way to success without that
which has acted as a bea-
con star to men of high intelligence
who acknowledge their weakness with
out the aid of divine inspiration.
Certainly it would seem that men
who have ambition for success would
take unto themselves this help, aid
and inspiration which has guided and
helped better men.-Idaho Falls

1t isn't easy to play the part of
continual critic and fault finder and
at the same time be consistent. We
nave in mind an Idaho newspaper
which Systematically, if not consist
entity, finds fault, seeing nothing but
nefficiency and disregard of the pub
lie good in the conduct of public af-
fairs, state and national and seeing
rodden masses" The other day this
in very readable news
tory, pointed out that its community
vas entering upon an era of most
prosperity, in which pro-
Iucer and business man alike would p

Jews story, We're entirely out of har- b
nony with the deplorable condition
ointed out from time to time in the
