WHAT ARE WE COMING TO?
School houses built for the pur
pose of educating and elevating the
youth of our land are being prosti
tuted for the purpose of promulgat

the United States. We are aston
ished at some of our people lending
aid to a doctrine that will sooner or
later cause much trouble in our
midst. Read the history of this so
called church, learn of its many cor
rupt and infamous acts, then you
will not be so ready to welcome its
emissaries within your doors.

PEOPLE WILL TALK.
You may get through the world,
but t’will be very slow,
If you listen to all that is Baid as
you go;
You’ll Be worried and fretted and
kept in the stew—
For meddlesome tongues must have
something to do,
• For people will talk.
If quiet and modest you’ll have it
presumed
That your humble position is ouly
assumed—
You’re a wolf in sheep's clothing, or
else you’re a fool.
But don’t get excited—keep perfect
ly cool—
For people will talk,
An then, if you show the least bold
ness of heart,
Or slight inclination to take your
own part,
They will call you an upstart, con
ceited and vain
But keep straight ahead—don’t stop
to explain—
For people will talk.
