of the sense and guidance of NOR

any vital religion.
Religion itself, under the cir
cumstances, had become pervert-
ed to the approval Of immoral
and abominable practices. Z
Probably the men Of this an
cient time accused Amos of being
a narrow-minded bigot and a
Puritan. 1t has been the cynical
charge of those in every age who
have sought to justify their own
lusts and purse of injustice. :
There is such a thing as mar
row-minded bigotry and there are
aspects of the Puritan that we
should neither approve o strive
to emulate, but in the great ulti-
mate things of life we must stand
either with those who exercise a
high-minded and godly restraint,
or with those whose way of life,
no matter how it may be covered
up with pleasant words. and
plausible PHILOSOPHERS, is essen

MOON EARNING

Moon farming, according to the
Weather Bureau, is "moonshine.'
1t has absolutely no support from
any scientific point of view. BY
''moon farming" is meant sowing
or reaping, breeding or butcher
ing, shingling or shearing, or any
other farm activities supposed to
be affected by the dark or the
Tight" or some other phase of the
moon. The chief things affecting
the growth Of crops at any stage
e temperature and moisture
conditions of soil and air; compos-
itions OF adjacent atmosphere;
kind and intensity of light, pres
ence Or absence and severity of
plant disease; mechanical .condi-
ton of soil, loose or compact; fer
tility of the soil, and quantity of
other vegetation, or weeds pres
ent. Meteorologists can show
that the moon has nothing to do
with any of these conditions af-
fecting crops. 1t has no influence
on weather or soil.

A MOS was a herdsman and a
gatherer of fruit. He was &C
customed TO keen and clear sense
OF value. There were in his world
no illusions, no self-deceptions,
no pleasing and plausible social
fallacies that obscured the ele-
mental facts and conditions OF
life.
Much of the worlds sin and i'm
morality arises from lack OF
clear perception. 1t may be said
that any man knows the differ
ence between right and wrong;
and within certain limitations
/. that is true. But in modern COM
pick life there are all manners
of theories that tend to break
down the clearness of this distinc-
ton between right and wrong.
False Prosperity
Ancient Israel in the time of
Amos was in a prosperous social
condition. 1t was a period when
nationally men were glorying in
their prosperity, but, as often
happens, much of this seeming
prosperity was on a false and in
secure foundation. 1t did not
rest upon the solid basis of just
and righteous relationships man
with man. 1t was under these
circumstances that Amos pro-
nounced the judgments of God.
which were also the judgments of
sound sociology, against his ma
ton in it's day of seeming pros
peritt'.
Coming with his clear vision
from the fields he was not delud-
ed by any show of grandeur and
magnificence. The show of
splendor, luxuriating in ill-gotten
gains, did not blind him for a mo-
ment. He looked beneath it all
to the hollowness associated with
social injustice. "They have sold
the righteous for silver" he said,
land the poor for a pair OF
shoes" He perceived a disregard
for the meek and the tragic lack

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
A SHORT HOMILY

When a man goes to church
on Sunday he does two things for
the good of the community IN
which he lives. He puts himself
in the way of receiving such IN
sniration as will enable him to be
a better man, and he encourages
his neighbor to do the same thing.
If is not idle boastinS when we
cav that the church is the we'll
snring of right doing in the COM
munity. It's presence is an incen-
tive toward good for those who
mood the incentive and we all do,
and also if it a ~retarding influence
unon those who would do wrong
Those statements are proven by
tbe facts existent in the communi-
ties with and without churches.
Therefore every right thinking
man and woman should not only
snnnor the churches of the com
mnnitv with their substance, but
what is more important, with their
regular presence at the services
of those churches. No minister
can be inspired to do the thing
he wants to do and ought to do
for the community in which he
serves when he finds his chief
work on Sunday seems to be to
inspire the wooden souls of wood
en- seats, with a sprinkling of a
few human souls to help out the

Halloween Party
The big high school Halloween
party will be held in the gym on
Monday evening. The party will
begin at 1880 and will let out at
70 o'clock. Most of the young
sters have been working hard for
six weeks and a little clean fun
will not hurt them. Pupils who
have to go home earlier will be
allowed to do so. Pupils who pre-
fer to remain home may do so.
We believe that pupils + better
off coming to the school and hav-
ing a good time than going about
town doing damage to peoples
property. The new idea in edu-
cation is that teachers and pupils
are all working together. The
teacher is no longer a tin god on

of "Thou Shafts" and "Thou Shalt
nots."

SHANGHAI, (By MaiD. - The
newspapers here bring reports con-
corning peasant instructions in var
ious parts of China.
On the island of Tchumin 5000
peasants have revolted on account Of
the introduction of new taxes and
excessive rents. The military authori-
ties have dispatched three warships
from Shanghai and troops to crush
the revolt.
According to reports from Wuhan
(Hankow) an insurrectionary move
ment has commenced in Dunchien.
The discretionary peasants have
destroyed a part of the railway line
Wuchang-C hangchow. In the Using
district near Shanghai armed peas
ants protested against the new taxes
and disarmed the police. Detach-
ments of the river police crushed the
revolt and killed 10 of the insurrec-
tionaries.
