THE ONIjY HKMOCKATIO I'AI'KK in
WKIISTKH COUNTY
Wc take occasion to express our
hearty thanks to Editor Halo for tlio
kindly thought thiit prompted IiIh
offer of the pages of the Chief to the
Christian people of Reil Cloud for this
one Issue Wc will try not to abuse
the opportunity and hope It will be
beneficial, after Shakespeare's own
language, "It blesseth liim that gives
and him that takes." We have never
heard of any thing but Rood coining of
such liberality. However, wo are glad
we arc not the editor and publisher of
the Chief, for then you know "there J
would be the Devil to pay." Wo would
much rather borrow the papor once in
awhile. If we effervesce too much,
perhaps it is because wc have been
bottled up too long. In that ease, try
us again, Iirother Hale, without too
long an interval.
Don't be afraid to laugh. Late
historians declare that even our Puri
tan forefathers knew how, only they
were ashamed to be caught at it, and
tried to coniluc it to bix days in the
week.
A colored preacher read to his con
gregation the chapter containing the
words, "The voice of the turtle is
heard in the land," refcring to the
turtle dove, and thus proceeded to ex
pound: "My brethren I have studied
over this text a long time. I alut neb
bcr heard of no turtle huff in a voice,
but 1'bO concluded the writer means
this: You hub seen turtles lyiu on a
log in the warm suushiuc in spring;
den somebody comes ulong and dey
fclip into the water keillop and ker
splash and dl noise is what tie writer
mistook for de voice "
It is related of Archbishop Ryan of
Philadelphia ab follows: A priest of
his dloecho was catechising a olats for
confirmation in the prebence of his
Eminence and said to a little girl of
ten or eleven, "You may iletlue the
racrament of matrimony." She re
plied, "Matrimony is a state of trial
and discipline for the faithful in order
that, being purged of their former
' sins, they may at length enter into
everlasting joy and felicity." "No,
so!" said the priest, "you have it all
mixed up with the definition of Pur
gatory." "Let her alone,'' said! the
A rcbblshop, "What do you or 1 know
about it? Perhaps the child is right."
The question of the relation of tint
Church to the political and civic life
of oar day is no newone and is claim
ing the attention of thinking meu
more and more us the days pass. In
the past no greater formative Influence
than that of the church has been felt
in the shaping of the answers to the
great social, political and moral pro
blems of our nation, aud 1 scarce need
to say that the church of today is face
to face with the formative influences
which are making the tomorrow.
Scholarship, buslnesn, amusements,
socialism and national aggrandize
ment are only a few of those agencies
which are co-operating to mal.e to
morrow very different from today. To
an extent that escapes the superficial
observer, the church is itsself being
affected by these influences; but far
more important than this fact is the
other that today, as at so many times
In the past, the church must face the
-vital decision as to what part it shall
have in producing the new world.
Looking at the transitions in the af-
fairs of city, church and school iu our
own community in the last ten years,
wj i'hii lint I'onjpet uro what the next
decade shall produce.
Wc would four no contradiction
when wo say jthat as civilization hnr
listened to tliejphllohophy of the Gov
i pel of the Nazurltic in all ages silicotic
lltst taught so they will listen and hi
Influenced today If It be put before
them in the gut b of a simple truth
without cunt or fanatarlsm entering
into It, In the first place the essence
of tho gospel t hat ho taught was love
and justice, iintl in our age of hellish
urss and thoughtlessness we seem to
hnve foi gotten these facts especially
the latter.
Wo need but to look about Us to see
the most flagrant abuses of the most
common laws of nation aud state
while tolerence of the institutions and
individuals who would thwart the ends
of justice to a long suffering commun
ity proves to be a shield of greater
and grosser wrongs which arc perpe
trated upon Hociety.
OfllciaU upon approach or relief
may say aud with abundant reasou
that the backing of a sufllclent number
of citizens caunol be secured to on force
law and maintain it sufllclent moral
utmosphero for tho best truiuiug of
men and women for tho great responsi
bilities of life, and men from without
in the light of these conditions tuiu to
the church as an organized institution
and hurl the challenge for help into
our face.
With these fucts before us we would
not hesitate to say that she would
prove a coward if the church did not
organize her ranks iu solid phalanx
aud take her place in the face of the
army of social wrongs which confront
us aud place themselves not only upon
the side of the olllciul which will tuku
tho cause of law, justice uud right us
his platforms uud stand behind him as
his support in every time of need, uud
iu every crieis for clean government,
law enforcement uud the ridding our
communities of the influences that
tend to debase rather than to upbuild.
It is only by this attitude we believe
that the church can meet its whole
obligation to the community iu which
it lives uud boasts of its uscfulllicss to
mankind, for herein lie the practical
tcbt of our faith.
If we cannot bo of assistance to those
lu authority lu these mutters we can
not see wheieiu tho claims of the
church can be made with impurity
upon the lives uud hearts of men ui
least fiom the stuudpoiut of practical
usefulness, but us she has been success
ful iu meeting the need of every Hge
for 10 centuries we believe het to be
still us potent a force us ever in these
things uud iu the future of our city
may she rise iu her strength uud meet
the demuuds of the present .hour aiul
thus lay the fouudatioub for still great
er usefulness, still greater schools and
Institutions of social and morul pro
gress, lu fact a Ked Cloud where
men uud homes may be uble to attain
their greatest usefulness and power.
Woe! Woe!

First Woe: "Woe to the worthies
shepherd that leaveth tho Hock '
(Zech. 11:17) to go off on a summer vn
cation, or "When he seeth the woll
comitnr. mid leaveth the sheep and
lleeth; because he is an hireling and
cmeth not for the sheep." (Jno. 10: IS,
l.'l. My people hath been lost sheep;
their shepherds have caused them to
gonstray, they have turned them away
on tho mountains." (Jer. M): 0) to ele
riticnt lectures on great men uud learn
ed dissertations 'on the old suges of
the past, instead of leading them to
fountains of "living water" (Jno. 4: 14)
and feeding them on the "sincere milk
of the word" (Hcb. S: 12) that they
may grow thereby.
"Son of man prophesy against the
shepherds, and say unto them, Thus
saitli the Lord God, woe be to the
shepherds that do feed themselves;"
should not the shepherds feed the
flocks? Ye eat the fat (salaries) aud
ye clothe you with the wool, (fleece)
but ye feed not the flock (on the bread
of heaven ) The diseased have you not
strengthened, (with the "exceeding
great aud precious promises.") Neither
have ye healed that which was sick,
(did not visit them) neither have ye
bound up that which whs broken, (with
grief and borrow,) neither have ye
brought again that which was driveu
away, (by cold and lifeless lectures in
stead of the gospel delivered "in power
and demonstration of the Spirit and
of ipower,") neither have yo sought
that which was lost, (the backslider)
but with force and with cruelty have
yo ruled them. And they wore scatter
ed, because there was no shepherd,
aud they become meat to all the beasts
of the field, (theaters, picture shows,
cards, dancing, etc.) when they were
scattered. My sheep wondered through
all the mountains (of sin and folly)
and upon every high hill, (of wrong
aud evil.) Yea, my flock was scatter
ed upon all the face of the earth, anil
none search or seek after them.
Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the
word of the Lord: "Heboid, I am
against the shepherds; and I will re
quire my flock at their hand, and cause
them to cease from feeding the flock,
neither shall they feed themselves any
more." K.ek..'l4: 2, 10.
',lf the watchman sec the sword
come, and blow not the trumpet, and
tho people bo uot warned, if the bword
come, and take any person from among
them; he Is taken away lu Ills iniquity:
but ills blood will I require ut the
watchman's hand." Ezek. 33:0. ''
"For necessity is laid upon me; Yea,
woe is unto me, if I preach not the
gospel." 1 Uor. JJ: 10. "Study to show
thyself approved unto God, a workmun
that ccedeth uot to be ashamed, right
ly dividing the word of truth." 2 Tim.
2:15. "The first woe is past and be
hold the second one cometh."
Second Woe: "Woe unto you also,
ye lawyers, for ye bade men with bur
dens grievous to be borne, (by hiding
the law from them uutil you have a
contract for a fee) aud ye yourhc4yes
touch not the burdens with one of
your fingers."
"Woe unto you, lawyers, for ye
have taken away the key of knowledge,
(you make the luws and if a poor fel
low undertakes to read the law, you
refer him from one chapter to another,
and from one section to another until
his head gets to 'wool-gathering' and
in despair, he gives up and submits bis
case. (Lu. 0: IU, 52.
The second woe is past, and "Be
hold there come two woes more." Rev.
l: 12.
Third Woe: "Is there uo balm in
Gllead? Is there no physician there?
(Sur.e) Why then is not the health of
the daughter of my people recovered.'
Jer. 8: 22. (Because there is not a dol
lar in sight to pay the bill "
"Jesus said, they that are whole
need not a physician but they that are
sick." Matt. 0: 12 (but some times
they are too poor to pay the bill and
can't get him.)
"Ye are all physicians of no value,"
.lou. i;i: i (to tne poor ami destitute.)
"A certain woman had Buffered many
things, from many physicians, (who
probably knew they could do her no
good, nut just went on experimenting)
aud had spent all she had, (they had
doctored up all the money she had,
poor woman,) mm was uotuing better
ed, but rather grew worse." Mar. 5: 20,
lout mey Kent ou tloctoring until her
money was all gone and then inform
ed tier or tne Hopelessness or her
case.)
Tho third Woe Is past and the fourth
Is like unto it.
Fourth Woe: "Woe unto them that
join house to house, that, lay field to
Held, till there be no place that they
may be nlouo iu the midst of the
earth." Isa fi: 8, (because of tho great
wealth much ot which was perhups, 111
go-ten gums.)
"Heboid, the hire of the laborer
who have reaped down your fields, (or
sold your goods, or kept your books,
or wrote your letters, or worked your
mines, or built your railroads, or run
you factories or your shops,) whioh Is
of yon kept back by fraud, (or dockage
or exorbitant commissary prices)
crieth, and the cries of them which
have reaped (labored) are entered into
the ears or the Lord of Sabaoth." Jas
C:4.
"Cry aloud, spare not, lift up the
voice like a trumpet, and show .my
people their transgressions and Khy
house of Jacob their sins." Is. 58rt.
