TAX PATERS SHOULD
NOT BE FORCED TO
TAKE CARE OF
DRONES *
In reply to Mr. W. G. Lancas
ter's letter of Feb. 9, 1 Just can
not agree with him. I do not
think self supporting citizens
should be taxed to keep up a
bnnch of ablebodied people to loaf
aronnd and bum their way to town
to get those commodities. Then
when those garments become
soiled toss them away. Yet, In
sMll, those same people seem to
be in need. Just try to hire them
and see if they haven't the brass
to tell you they don't have to
work. I think one person has as
much right to work for a living ar
another. God gave every person
a talent', and it is our duty to cul
tivate same by getting our living
by the sweat of our face.
1 think each community should
look after their own disability
people and see that they have aid
if in need. But I do not t-hink
people ahould be taxed to keep
up a bunch of Drones.
In regard to the small family
getting thirty dollars a month
and cannot live on-th?L why not
try farming where larger fami
lies have to live on less I'han ten 1
bucks per month. My parents
raised ten children and worked
for .the small sum of tifteen cunts
a day from sunup until sundown.
I think all persons living on the
tax payers money should be for
ced to wear a red, white and blue
uniform so the tax payer could
recognize them at first1 sight.

FOR SPEEDING MOTORIST
Manltou Springs, Colo., Feb. 19.
? The motorist with any "regard
for bis future abode" should sing
hymns as the speedometer climbs
upward, the Rev. L. C. Miller said
in a safety sermon at fche Men
nonnite church.
His selections at the different
speeds:
"At 25 miles per hour, 'I'm But
a Stranger Here, Heaven Is My
Home"; at 45 miles, "Nearer, My
God, to Thee'; at 55 miles, 'I'm
Nearing the Port and Will Soon
Be at Home'; at 65 miles, 'Wbon
tihe Roll Is Called Up Yonder I'll
Be There'; at 75 miles. 'Lord^I'm
Coming Home.' "
The best remedy against sleep
ing in church, says our neighbor,
Is to have the ministers Improve
their sermons.

LOUISBURG BAPTIST
CHURCH
The pastor. Dr. A. Paul Rugby
preached the first sermon in a se
ries of two on "Is the Modern Day
Church a Failure?" This sermon
was both timely and thoughtful.
With some the feeling exists
that the church is a failure. They
question, "Why iB there not move
loyalty?" The fault lies with the
individual rather than the church.
The modern day church suffers
greatly from unregenerated
church membership. After all. in
Mils criticism of the church, does
the fault lie in the Judgment of
the Individual or in the church?
75 to 100 persons are really con
cerned in our local church, the
rest are indifferent! Many persons
in changing positions and locali
ties do not affiliate with church
in their new community.
In t'he minds of others might
be this question. "Is the organis
ed church Christian?"
To face squarely this query one
must understand the function or
functions of the church. Four neg
ative things may be said here: ( 1 )
No longer is the church a deposi
tory of creeds. The Bible is no
longer In the possession of the
church only. (2) The church ia
not' an arsenal of merry. Agen
cies for this purpose have sprung
from the church. (3) No longer
is it an institution of learning.
(4) It Ib not a court of appeals
It Is not for the church to arbi
trate In the matters of men.
Positively speaking the church
function is: (1) To furnish the
world with redeemed men and wo
men. (2) To furnish manhood and
womanhood shot through with
conviction, ideals, nnd character.
The hope of this town is In the
church. The Church Is God's in
stitution and the gates of Hades
shall not prevail against It. She
is not dead. She shall not die!
There Is power In the church that
no other Institution haB.
Dr. Bagby will preacb on "Is
the Modern Day Church a Fail
ure?" at eleven o'clock.
Sunday evening he will speak
to the Boy Scouts at> the Metho
dist Church.
