I have be fore me a copy of your paper of Dec. 4 containing an article head ed, rresbyterians Not Embroil ; ed”. The same being a letter sent from Litchfield, referring to the temperance mass meeting he'd in • the Presbyterian church, Sunday, i Nov. 23, and disclaiming all re I sponsibility so far as Presbyter j ians are concerned in regard to the above meeting or as the writer puf it, “The stunt that was pulled : off ”. As the letter was not sign ed I do not know whether the i writer is a member of the Presby • terian church or not, or was at (the meeting, but would rather r think neither. For it seems that nearly every one that was not there has a false impression of the meeting, why it was called and what was done there. Now the object of that meeting was, first to tell the people, who want conditions improved, in plain words just what had been done, how, and by whom; second, to see if the people, above referred to, were going to back up their work, morally and financially. Ihe meeting was a complete success (as results showed) in every reason for which it was called aijd that in spite of the non attendance of the “True Presby terians.” A large number were in from the country, some coming as far as six and eight miles, and the unanimous opinion of the temper ance people that were there, was that the church was the pro|>er place for the temperance mass meeting, and united enthusiasm prevailed. However, the important part of our work is this, we are trying to improve conditions here in Litch field, though we don’t expect to make conditions perfect, and keep down the evils which affect every person either directly or indirect j ly who-resides in our village or j who make it their trading point j and social center. It is especially of vital concern ■ to the parents, jvho have growing ! boys and girls, to wake up in this ! matter of the evil influences which so effect our young people. But the work is too great for any one person or any one body j of people. It will take the united effort of the “Law and Order League,” the United Brethren, Christian, Methodist and Presb.v ! terian church people, also every other person that is interested in this work. For it is the duty of every one who would like to see a cleaner town and kept clean. Litchfield is a pretty good town and then: are good people here, i but we we think there are a few i shady spots, and damp places, (j.».v j springs) that need a ray of light j into. Now in regard to the writer’s statement that no official of the church was asked for permission of the church I will say that per mission was asked and given by at least one of the elders, who is, I suppose, more regular in attend ance than any other man who at tends the Presbyterian church. Besides everyone thought, I be lieve, that it was by common con sent, or it is considered an honor for any church to have a meeting held in the cause of temperance or any good cause, and further the Presbyterian church holds more people than the other church: for that reason the announcement was made for the Presbyterian church. I also wish to set aright the writer’s statement in regard to the possibly half dozen that were there that lean towards the “Presbyter ian faith.” There were eight there that I know of and at least six of that number are as live members as the church has in Litchfield; one is our organist and three of them members of the choir, besides all six were faithful workers in all the affairs of the church. All were women, how ever. There were a few others that for unavoidable reasons could not get to the meeting, though, nevertheless were in favor of it, active members also. Now, I have "been wondering what the writer considers that “True Presbyterian Faith” stands for, does it stand for “aristocracy” and sitting on the fence with the *yes closed to the evils that it is our duty to fight and keep down, and in fear that some persons may be hurt or that some financial sup port of the church may be lost? I do not believe that such is the Presbyterian faith. I think but very few, if any, of the Presby terians believe so, or even want it practiced, especially a “{rue Pres byterian.” I will say in conclusion that we feel very grateful and encouraged the way so many of our leading fanners have put their “shoulders tb the wheel” (and it is turning), especially those along Clear Creek and our German Russian friends northeast of town for what is our welfare and interests, are the farmers’ also. And a word here foe our business men who have so courageously stood for the right, and the betterment of our town and community, don’t forget them. Carl Farnsworth. P. S. This letter is not sent or intended as any part to any con troversy. No bitterness toward anyone whatever, but simply sent, to set aright certain things that may and have created a wrong im pression. C. F. FRESHMAN GIVE JUNIORS PARTY Last Friday evening in Gzehovi ak hall the freshmen of our high school entertained the juniors at a feed and pleasant evening. A prop osition by the pupils to end the evening with a dance was prompt ly vetoed by the superintendent and teachers. However, later, af ter the superintendent was trailed to his home and supposed to be snugly ensconced in the arms of Morpheus, the kids returned to the hall, lighted up and started the d sired inspiration, when just as things were getting warmed up nicely, the superintendent came in upon them once more. It is re ported that the surprisers were not the most agreeably surprised, while the ending came with surpris ing surprisedness. Just what sur prise is in store may prove a fur ther surprise before the history of the surprising affair is completed. “The Comer Grocery” The rural comedy hit, The Corner Grocery, with Boyd Burrowes and a big company of comedians, singers and dancers will be the attraction at the Loup City opera house one night Dec. 20.
