both food and raiment for women anC
men. and = thousand other things
which we have not space to mention
all for the happiness of the human race
Are the people happy? If not, why
not? The people who commit suicide
are unhappy because of some trouble
which causes their minds to become
deranged.
Women and men who follow in the
forbidden paths are unhappy because
their conscience condemns them, and
they have not will power enough to
turn the other way, which leads to
happiness.
The murderer. robber or man who
engage in any business of a question
able character are not happy, and how
can they be? When the deeds they have
committed stare them in the face at
all times. The politicians are not hap
py and should not be. for anyone who
goes so far to utter falsehoods to gain
an unfair advantage over those who
differ with them in political matters.
These and a thousand others which
women and men are prone to do are i'm
paths. which those allow themselves to
be lured, can never be happy unless a
complete turn around and seek those
ways Wnlcn are not lOfDl0Qen.
Perhaps the most unhappy woman or
man are those who have a selfish ma
ture. They have an idea that they
should be the only one that shall sue
ceed and they are constantly at war
with their neighbors if they think they
are getting along more successful than
they are Constantly longing for the
dollar. They may be rich but their long
ingS increase while riches pile up all
around them. They have no friends and
how can they? They give nothing to
the poor and help in a poor way to
bring about prosperous condition in
the neighborhood in which they live.
They are unhappy because their. own
hearts and minds are centered on
grasping the almighty dollar which
will be their ruin in the end.
What profit it a man to win riches
and lose his own soul?"
Then some will say who can be hap
py? The answer is those who obey the
Commandments of the Lord. If they do
then the sunshine of happiness will
adorn their lives while they travel
peaceable and quiet through this world
to that new home of the soul beyond !

Church School
Sixty-one teachers and scholars were |
present at the church school Sunday |
This was an increase of one
over the Sunday before. Now that va
cation days are about over let one and |
all rally and make the increase in
church and church school attendance
greater than ever known before. This |
can be done by the unceasing efforts
ot those who have the church and
church school at heart.
As long as the members of any
church allow themselves to be led away
oy the temptations which the world at
all times holds out, they cannot expect
The church and church school to be as
prosperous as it was in the days of long
lgo when people did not allow worldly
.hings to tempt them from doing their
whole duty toward the church and
church school. So it will always be
when people think more of the world
han of the church. It will take more
han talk to build up a church and keep
t. going. Nothing short of an old time
evival will save churches from the
gradual decay now effecting them.
The church school should be a strong
ever in furnishing the future mem
,ers of church and the lesson taught
hould be impressed on the minds of
cholars so that they will remain for
preaching and not leave after the
hurch school service is over.
The lesson of last Sunday was a
emperance lesson and the title was
Observing and Enforcing the Law"
The liquor question has bothered all
lations from. time to time and will con-
inue to bother them until the end of
lme unless through education the peo-
lie are taught to do without the stuff,
or the effects which it has on the hui
nan system. You cannot make people
ood by an old time revival and every
onvert will (as he should) be a pro-
lbitionist and in time people will do
way with using intoxicating liquor in
ny manner Let the ministers stay in
heir pulpits and preach in such way
s will be convincing and the old time
over will be felt and many will be
onverted. That is the means which
hould be adopted by all churches and
2 this way we shall get rid of the evil
fleets of conditions now existing.
Let the Temperance Unions and all
theP organizations which are in favor
1 suppressing the liquor traffic go out

nd men and in this way bring about
feeling Of repulsion on the part of the
uman race against those who make or
