| In last weeks paper we saw
where the WPA men were criticised
for not fixing the roads. Yes, the
roads are very bad and lots of them
| almost impossible. But who should
we fault? Different ones we sup
pose We suppose the one that
rules the weather for one-so much
rain--no frozen ground. Let's not
find fault. When it is dry we have
| good roads-no crops. When it is
cold how many people suffer. So
we as people are too apt to find
| fault Our school teachers are so
criticized. We never put ourselves
in their places even for a day. So
many kinds to be cared for-clean
children, dirty children, good, bad
some that can't learn, some that
won't try, some very anxious for a
care, and the worst is, so many par
ents to condemn. The ministers
are also condemned for not preach
! ing to suit everyone. We would
| like to hear one sermon that would
suit one little bunch that gets in
| one house Sabbath morning. He
would have to preach We could all be
| saved our own way, and that by not
putting ourselves in any discom'
| fort, and preaching salvation is
free, and the preacher has not ex-
penses he can't meet without any
| help Even the Christian people
are found fault with. They are too
| religious or else not got any relig
ion The editor gets his share, and
president, F. r., he sure gets more
| than | hope he deserves. If we as
| a people could take his place
| wouldn't this be good old world
| to live in? He was voted in by a
great majority. Let's stick to him
and not kick. We expect if just a
few of us would have a white page
for one day only, the good Lord
would have lots less on his books.
