One of the saddest ironies in this life of ours occurred Wednesday night when within hearing distance of the most sacred music of the Christian church sordid drama and tragic death took its dreary toll of broken lives and dreams de spoiled.
 It does not take a preacher to draw the picture, good and bad, black and white, jealousy, hate, strong drink and firearms on one side, almost two thou sand years of struggle and count less martyred lives on the other.
 Thank God for a beneficent, all seeing Judge to balance the scales beyond the power of man.
