THE LESSON TAUGHT

Mr.. Truman's leaving Askov
brought to my mind the thought
that a comparison of this mans
work amongst us with our own
endeavors might be worth our
while. 1t is seldom indeed we have
a man come into this community
who gives SO much and asks so
little as Mr.. Truman.has. We are
not all blessed with the amount
of talent Mr.. Truman possesses
but how many of us are GIVING
of the talents we do possess in
such a manner and with such re-
gard for the welfare and Aappi-
ness of others as he has in the
short while he has been in
Askov? We undoubtedly owe
him a debt of gratitude for his
faithful work with the Farm Sta
tistical Route, the Glee Club, etc.,
but what is more important is
the lesson he has taught us in
the cultivation of a true and I'M
selfish community spirit.

A report Of the recent Davis
murder trial at Pine City is pub
lished on page six of this issue.
After reading it through a per-
son is apt to question if Davis
should have, been set entirely
free. The whole bunch was
drinking and Davis himself was
a willing member of the booze
party. A brother of the girl he
protected was so dazed by in
toxicants that he did not seem
to realize what was going on. At
any rate, he left it to the cousin
of the girl to do the protecting
while he apparently was in a
stupor or asleep. Chances are
that what did happen would not
have happened had they been
sober. Taking a life is some
thing very very serious. McKin-
non deserved severe punish
ment, no doubt about that, but
to let Davis go entirely free
seems pretty much and may not
have the very best after-effects.

THE BALLOTS IMPORTANCE

In the current issue of the
Woman Citizen, Miss Emily R. Kneu-
buhl, a former Minnesotan, now

of Rochester, N. Y, and last year

for city management in Cincinnati,
writes about the power of the bal
lot and what it means to women to
have the ballot under the title of
"What the Ballot Means to Me-"
Miss Kneubuhl's article follows:
A number of years ago it was

loneliness or purity, and yet,

We laymen are simply not in

theological doctrines.
We are interested in the my
stery and the mastery of life.
This is what religion means to
us. We are neither pure sci.

is a little of both in us. When we
go to church we want light on the
mystery Of life and leadership ii

lists; some of us are Modernists
We may differ in our beliefs, but
we agree in our desires. We want
spiritual leadership in the prob
lens of life more than we want
intellectual leadership in the
problems~of doctrine.
This does not mean that we
want no intellectual leadership
from the church. 1t means only
that we have discovered that I'VE

more than we think our way into
our living" And so we want doc.
trine kept in it's place as an ex.
PLANTATION of life rather than g
substitute for life.
We want our religious leaders
to study theology but we want
them to use the results of theil
study to give them a point OF
view from which to talk to us
about the problems of life. We
do not want a carpenter to give
us his tools; we want him to use
his tools to build us a house in
which we can live, in which we
can find protection, comfort anc
refreshment that will better fiji
us for our work.
We are not interested in the
roots of theology.
We are interested in the fruits
of theology.
We laymen are asking for the
bread of life, but in the heart OF
religious controversy we are like.
