GREAT EXCiTKMKNT IN
TOWN OF TOTTER
POTTER Saturday morning a man
vho had on big blue glasses, a curly
moustache, overcoat turned up at the
neck, and a hat pulled well down, in
fact all the dress articles sufficient to
impersonate the villian in a dime no
vel, walked up and down our streets,
and visited all the business houses in
an endeavor to secure subscriptions to
a certain maga2ine. The gentleman
spoke a decided foreign accent and
aroused a sense of suspicion wherever
lie went. He was quite persistent in
liis canvassing and almost made a
number of sales.
Early in the morning he passed a
bogus check at the Citizens State
Hank, and in the afternoon was ar
rested by the marshal and made to
pay back the amount of the check.
Later he was taken to the treasurer's
office to obtain a peddler's license as
he was also selling clothing.
The above sounds like it might be
true but not a word of it is, except
the description of the man's appear
ance. The salesman was none other
than our fellow citizen Clarence John
son in disguise. His make-up and
.stressed foreign accent were so good
that he fooled about ninety per cent
of the peonle he talked to. So good
was his representation that he even
fooled one of his brothers and his
father. The bogus check and the
clothing deal were only brought in to
j?et the marshal in on the order of
the day.'
Now the next time a salesman with
a moustache comes in here to sell U3
something we are going to give it a
pull first to see if it is real, says the
Potter Review.

OMAHA Fifteen hundred striking
union packing house workers here
Tuesday night voted unanimously to
return to work immediately.
The resolution which ended the walk

purpose but would, on the other hand,

LUKE 16:19-31: "OUR ENEMIES
Life Is made rather interesting by
our human relationships that go to
make it up. We have the friends, who
meet the great crises, and bnng mess
ing in our life. We have those who
profess to be our friends who disap
point us just when we need them most.
There is the man we think our enemy
who surprises us with kind deed or
word just when we expect him to down
us. Then, there is the man or woman
who is our real enemy. It is a problem
sometime to decide how rightly to con
duct ourselves toward the last class.
First let us consider how we get those
enemies, a3 a rule.
Paul shows one way wet get them in
2 Tim, 3:12. Here he says that we
make them by doing right. He says
that all who will live Godly in Christ
Jesus shall sutTer persecution. Of this
class of enemy, we should not worry.
If by doing right we make these
enemies it is a good proof that we are
walking in the footsteps of our Savior.
God does not condemn us for making
such enemies. But are not we in dan
ger of glorying in enemies when we
should get down in sackcloth and
ashes, and mourn because we have
enemies? Is it safe to judge a man's
usefulness in the world altogether by
the number of enemies he makes ? We
claim not. His enemies may prove
him right, and also may prove him
wronk.

THE PARSON'S CORNER
By Rev. B. J. Minort, Taster of
the First Baptist Church, Alliance
For instance. Paul says that we may
make enemies by doing wrong. Cor.
3:25. "He that doeth wrong shall re
ceive for the wrong which he hath
done." In doing wrong we make God
our enemy. Isaiah said that the
sraelites by their wicked lives com
pelled God to become their enemy, even
to the extent of destroying them. We
may do our best, and make enemies
thereby, but on the other hand we
may do our worst and also make
enemies. The former may be com
mendable, the latter is never right.
If we do right, men will place evil
construction upon our acta, but we will
not be held responsible for a mistaken
opinion. However if we do wrong and
thereby make enemies, God does not
promise to deliver us from these.
Airain. we are told that we may make
enemies by doing nothing. Luke 12:13.
Here again Chnst will not come to
our rescue. The "do nothings nave
a very small place in the heart of God.
Then, we make enemies in ways that
u-o rnnnnt toll how. Cor. 4:14. Demas.
once a bosom friend of Paul, became
one of Paul s worst cntics, and raui
could never fathom why he became
such a bitter enemy. So with us we
make enemies and often we are at a
loss as to how these became such.
But after we know we have them.
how shall we treat them? This is;
a TwrnlviTir finest inn to the man who .
wants to do the right thing by friend
and foe. tint, we snouia ireat mem
cautiously. Micah 7:6. One good way

were working against you. Remember ,
that as christians we are 10 see meir ,
wAifnre as much after thev become.
enemies as we did before they became
such.
Again, we should treat them as kind
ly as they will allow us to. Rom. 12:20.
Feed him, water him. if you lind mm
hungry or thistry. Not in a pompous
wav, hut c-uietly, unanimously. Do
not overdo it, however, for he may re
sent such treatment.
Another srood wav of treating them
is to trv to win them as friends. Luke
6.35. Y'ou perhaps have read of the
ancient king who said he was going to
destroy a rebellious nation that had .
given his country trouble for centuries.
He left with a handful of men, and
was gone for several years. In due
time he returned, and his people asked ,
him nhrkii t Via former rebellious people.
Had he destroyed them? Y'es, but
what is this about their prosperity?
I have destroyed them, by making
them mv friends," replied the monarch.
This is a better method but not al
ways the easiest
Let us show ourselves friendly
whether they do or not. There is one
priviltre that they cannot rob you of,
and that is the privilge of praying for
them, and yourself frequently. Ex 10:-
16. Again we are to love them. main.
5:43-44. This is not easy to do, how
ever, God will make it possible for us
to do even this if we trust him.
How to avoid making enemies:
First, guard the tongue, Prov. 18:21;
Second, keep good fences, Psalm 41:9;
Again keep on the popular side of
things, Luke 6:26. "Woe unto you
when all men speak well of you." But
the best way to avoid making enemies
is the following. Don't stay on earth
too long, die as soon as possible. Re
member that the only enemy we ore
to rejoice in making is the one that is
made because or our laitntuiness io
right. Maybe we haven't as many of
these as we think. The things they
sav of us must he false before we can
pride ourselves about our enemies. By
watching every' dangerous shoal we
can avoid many of these so-cal.ed
enemies.
