Were I to ask a dozen men as I met them, what are the issues of the day, I would get a dozen dif¬ ferent answers—in accord with the bent of each mind. Now I propose to give my ideas of what the issues of the day are. And I don’t expect every .mail and woman to agree with me. But I will show you my opinion and my reasons for them.. You compare them wi‘h yours aud take which you like. As I see it, there are four great issues in life: Christianity, Moral, Political and Financial. Upon the proper understanding and acting of the two first: Christian and moral depend the broad and bene¬ ficial effects of the two, last polit jeial and financial. I made this broad assertion,that if you' can’t mix your religion, morals, politics aud money, your religion and moral are wrong. These four great issues in a human life will mix will miz without any trouble if you have the right pro¬ portions of ingredients. Unfortunately we have religious cranks, like Zack Butler and Sam Jones, who think honestly, I have no donbt, that the whole world is on the direct and broad road to the devil, and they imagine that they can reform and christianize men who dont agree with ■ them, Yelps, Dirty dogs, and such room slang.

Then Mrs. Nation is a poor perance crank, who imagines she can make this a temperance world by smashing a few iittle barroom fixtw ’ es out there in Kansas, when all the revenue officers m the Urn ed Stat " can>t 8to P blockade 8til]in g in the llttle oi Rock ' da * e> With such elements as these switched off by Senators Hanna and Clark devilment with our daily newspapers feeding ohi several feeling on the devilish bust and general cussedness of th - ' human race how san we have an Would yon ex¬ pect oil and water so mix? one is as easy as the other.. A nation without christiaoauity is a nation without poiitioal oi fi¬ honesty. It may have a code of morals, but no hon¬ The great law give has so or. and fixed our status fjhat should first love and honor the equally stiong and bind¬ ing law follows, lovo to our fellow men, living up to these we are to be politically and financially honest, Neglect the first* we will fail in being true in the others. The greatest poet that ever spoke the to human heart said, in his advice to his young friend: The great creator to revere, Must sure become the creature; But still the preaching can’t forbear And ev’n the rigid feature: Yet ne’er with wits profane to range, Be complaisance extended; An Atheist laughs a poor exchange For Diety offended! When ranting round in plessure’s ring, Religion may be blinded; Or if she gie a random sting, It may be little minded; But when on life'we’re tempest-driven, A conscience but a canker— A correspondence fix’d wi’ heaven Is sure a noble anchor I Adieu, dear, Your heart can ne’er be wanting I May prudence, fortitude, and truth, Erect your brow uudauuting! In ploughman phrase, “God send you speed,” S^ill daily to grow wiser; And may you better rech the rede Than ever did th’ Adviser. This is a big sermon, I don’t care if a poor drinking, rolioking human composed it. Remember this, we are prone to judge our fellow men and women by their over-indulgence in some human passion. These passions are God given, some stronger than in others. We can’t help them, some, control, some nide them. I think olost people hide them or try to. You sin in lying for gain, I sin in getting drunk; You sin, deceiving your fel¬ low man, I sin in following human passions. Who is most to blame, you or I? When at the balance let’s be mute. ' * W» cannot rightly adjust it, What’s, done we may But we know not what’s ds ted. Suppose wo quit hunting and find fault with other mistakes, and try to mend up our own fences. Don’t you think we could enjoy life more, and pleaee God better—I think so. DOTS. The farmers are waiting for the to settle so that they can work. Mies Rosa Cannon, of Walnut , the Pri. of Mies Lodi.

The houses are in repairs, the land Is well the stock are well for. But before were planted out, and houses were built, fields, yedow with oning, were planted the work revolved as a picture, a thought in the farmers mind. That iarm is the materializa tion of thought. So it is evi¬ dent that it requires an active thoughtful mind to do good farming. All matter is the material¬ ization of thought. This beau tiful world—the mountains and the hills and the fertile valleys and the laughing brooks, the green grass and fragrant flowers , strewn with lavish hand, which blush at our feet, the sublime heavens studied with glittering stars, all existed once as a thought in the mind of Him who spoke them into being. And all matter marching to the tune of law reveals a creative mind of infinite wisdom, good ness and pw wer So we see that language is not the only vehicle of thought, but man stamps his intelligence and character on everything which he does; and the longer I live the more respect 1 have for the man who can convey beauti¬ ful and sublime thoughts to his fellow man by the sweat of his brow and the skill of his hands, for the man who can do something. One cannot express thought with his hands anymore than he can with his power of speech unless his mind be trained to think. It requires as much brain to make a good farmer or a good me¬ chanic as it does to make good lawyer or a good er. An individual or a ^Continued on 4th page.)
