Libby Churches To
Hold Preaching Mission

| The Mission is an effort of thu
church, which has for its objective tht
awakening of the nation to conscious
ness of the presence of God in human
affairs.
The message which is brought
through the preachers, is that God is Z
living person, who knows the Difficult
ties which we have brought upon our
selves, that he cares for us more thar
we realize and that he has made avail
able a salvation from our troubles into
! his peace. 1t is a word of testimony
/ to great experiences with God The
purpose is not to defend the doctrines
of the church, but to point out "whai
great things the Lord hath done for his
people
The appeal is to the three-fold nature
Of man. to his intelligence. to his
! emotions, and to his will As one great
writer stated it. I'VE aim not to tel
men what they did not know but te
lead them to become what they hae
not been otherwise
Those men and women who had the
privilege Of attending the meetings ir
! the larger centers of population, are
taking the benefits which they received
to their local churches. With this ir
mind, plans have been made for the
people of Libby to share in these bene-
| fits.

22nd there will be community meetings
in the Methodist church on Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings ad-
dressed by the Rev. Omer Idso o.

portunitv is planned for the young peo-
pie Of high school age to hear tht
speakers. the time and place of which

said or done which could give offenss
to any one seeking the truth abou
God, and everything will be attempted
that will help toward an intelligent un'

Scores Of People
= Enjoy Chicken Hunt

An army of Libby men, and some
women have been drifting back this
week from the Poison Plains Charlie
! district where they spent the first OF
the week on an annual pheasant hunt
Now they are reminiscing and telling Of
the wonderful times they had
In the last two years this annual
chicken" hunt has grown tremen-
dous popularity and hundreds of hunt
ers gather in that district to make life
miserable for the chinks. And judging
from reports, the delegation from Libby
was one of the largest present.
The flood of hunters into that dis
trict brings profitable business for ev-
eryone catering to the hunters. E. M
Doves reports that one Poison man
said $4,000 would be left by the hunt
ers in that district during the 10 DAYS
nf the pheasant season. Boyes also said
that the number of hunters was about
so per cent greater this year than last
and the number Of birds about SO per
cent less.
| Most of the ranchers are very cordial
to the visitors and welcome the hunt
ers. only asking them to be careful
But now and then cranky one L
! found. One party of Libby men was
ordered from ranch by an angry
owner, backed by business looking
rifle in his hands.
One of the funniest stories Is told
about one group Of tired Libby hunters
They left Libby late Saturday evening
drove all night and got onto the field
early Sunday. They hunted all day
Sunday and then were so tired that
thew went tn bed at o'clock that NIGHT
One Of them awoke about II O'Clock
and looked at his watch, For some rea-
! son he suspicioned that something was
wrong with his watch and that 1t mus

Comment
WORTHWHILE AND OTHERWISE,
ON MATTERS IMPORTANT AND
UNIMPORTANT.
A GIFT OF THE GODS

when l heard that wonderful choir
break forth into grand old America
at the close of that program, / just
broke down and CRIED" said woman
visiting in Libby during the past week
This lady was talking with. the editor
of this newspaper She had been dis
cussing with us the many fine adj
dresses sent out over the air during the
recent presidential campaign, and she
had told how deeply she had been inn
pressed by the last program sent out
by one of the two great parties. She
recounted how famous bishop had
pronounced solemn benediction at the
close of that program and It was then
that an unseen choir had burst forth
into America" deeply moving her to
tears
This good woman was visiting in
Libby. She lives many miles back from
the city on a mountain ranch. Yet in
spite of what some people would call
extreme isolation, that good woman and
her family were enjoying the great
pleasures and benefits brought to them
over the air.
What a wonderful thing is the radio.
That marvellous invention has now be-
come 50 common that we rarely stop
to consider how really wonderful it Is
What pleasures and profit it brings to
mankind. Artists in far distant cities
give to the world all they have of their
great art and It is carried through the
air to eagerly listening ears throughout
a great continent and even throughout
the world Music instruction and en-
tertainment are carried to those living
in the far distant tops of mountains or
to those in the heart of great cities. The
art of the great artists is brought to
shut-ins and to others who because OF
their environment can seldom get out
of their distant homes to mingle with
their fellowmen.
The marvelousness of this invention
was we'll demonstrated during the re-
cent CAMPAIGN. Issues of far-reaching
effect were beino discussed. The citi-
zens of the worlds greatest democracy
were to be called on to PASS JUDGMENT
on those issues. Manv of the nations
ablest statesmen and citizens had
thrown themselves into the campaign to
carry to the people all that was in
viewed in the campaign Without the
radio few Of Americas 100 million
would ever have heard any of those
men. But by means of the radio. their
addresses and arguments were carried
into every village and hamlet of great
nation.
What gift Of the gods" is the radio.

This issue Of the Western News con-

of the November 3 general election,
rushed to us following national COM
pilation of statistics.
This tabulation is especially timely,
since it provides the grand climax to
Americas straw poll mania. to the

regarding Republican strength in Cali
fornia, for instance. against Democratic
strength in Massachusetts.

also that he was probably more re-
