Oreirnn An Independent Newspaper Published Every Evening; Kireept Sunday Telephone 8l; News 82 CSISOHGE PUTNAM, Editor and Publisher BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY For his God doth instruct him to discretion, and doth teach him. Isaiah 28:26. Hicktown Inhabitants A hicktown banker is one who puts you under life obliga tion for loaning you other peoples money and thinks he is a ponderous pillar of the community when he is only a leach sucking its life blood and sapping its vitality. A hicktown merchant is one who carries a little of every. thing, not much of anything, and that all mussed-up, who doesn't believe in publicity except when he has something to sell at a loss, when he peddles dodgers to newspaper readers because "advertising doesn't pay," yet like a faded strumpet, resorts to gaudy paint to attract suckers. A hicktown attorney (there are mighty few lawyers in hicktown or elsewhere) is one who when not engaged in sand-bagging owners of bad debts, is sniggling, snitching, and skinning clients by shystering tactics and technicalities. A hicktown preacher is one who preaches politics, poly- wogs and perdition, and most anything else except the gospel in the pulpit, and bretherns and sisterns the rams and lambs of his flock as he steps on the gas to bring home the bacon for the uplift. A hicktown hotel is its most characteristic possession, one where the faucets leak, and the beds creak, and the doors have gimlet holes for the sneaks to peek, where the slang of the waitress tunes with the slam of the dishes and jibes with the slap of the chef, one where "unbidden guests, welcomest when gone" hold merry midnight wassail with you and make you joyous to speed the farewell. A hicktown garage is one where they monkey with the carburetor and it takes them hours and costs you dollars to adjust it again, one where they pull the motor to pieces on suspicion, put it together up-side-down and repeat the process at $1.50 an hour, and cost plus, one where you store it overnight for joy-riding apprentices to tune-up and smash. A hicktown well you probably know about it, even if it is a thousand miles away. We'll tell you, maybe, more about it some day. know mo. and hud concluded that he'd met me at West Point, even though 1 didn't remember hlin. Th train drew Into the atatlon at last.

Tomorrow A ('hnnged Man, SAYS HUSBAND'S CHARGES FALSE Each of the wild, ridiculous statements made by the plaintiff in his complaint aro without any truth whatever," la the logul reply of Mary Ktchter to the divorce plea of her husband, Edward Rich ter, contained In a motion filed In the circuit court yesterday for funds with which to fight hia case Richter In divorce proceedings fil ed several days ago charged hia wife with cruel and Inhuman treat ment .with having several times attempted ta poison him, and hav ing plowed under 5000 strawberry plants belonging to them. Replying to the charge that she had attempted to poison him and that he had been forced to take his meals away from, home for three years through fear of poisoning. Mrs. Richter alleges that he has frequently taken meals with her since that time, and adds, "that plaintiff lu not afraid of me nor to eat my food so long as I pay for it, cook It, and serve It, 'There are atmply- hundreds of incidents during our married life' he alleges, "where the plaintiff has mistreated and abused me' and she therefore proposes to file a cross complaint to socure the di vorce herself.

Whv 'flicry science when It hits lengthened the span of life, mitigated pnin ex tinguished disease, Increased 'fer tility of our soils, giving to the mariner new securities. By Its ap plication have great rivers b'een spanned with bridges of form' our fathers would have been Incapable of comprehending. It has turned our night into day, distance has been annihilated, all offices of In tercourse correspondance friendly or business have been facllated It Is by science that men have been able to soar Into the air, desend Into the sea or penenti'ate into the earth ana by the discovery of a giant tooth or fossil In the depths of the earth or some far away place are we brought face to face with the fact of evolution. And thus It is that the explanation is made to us of the true origin of the hills and valleys which we to day Inhabit. It has been necessary for science to explain every day facts by generalizing others less frequent which form the exception. The eruption of the volcano manifest the heat continually at work In the Interior of the earth. As also the lightning ro veals a subtile power constantly producing changes In the inorganic world. Are not accumllated facts valuable for natures explanation? It seems to me that the orthodox way of being satisfied with our portion, what ever It Is, can not be compared with the modern Idea,: Ie., "The Fathers and I are one'; and the "Father" Is the creator, the universal mind, the original I substance of which all things pro ceed. That science has a right to the claim of evolution may be sup ported from Genesis 4-16. We find that Cain alter he slew his broth er Able went Into the land of Nod east of Eden, and there took unto himself a wife. Npw since the Bible makes no mention of any living human crea tures upon the face of the earth at that time excepting Adam, Eve, Cain, and Able is it not possible to believe that there were people who were not created in the image and likanesa ot God living but had evolved, from the orgunlc lite at that time. I am not seeking to enter Into a controversy but -rather express my self as one who has an open lib eral mind for the rays of light that others have proven to be true. I believe to deny science Is to deny all the truths of all It has brought to man, and that we are lmable to do. Romans 14-10 I find why Judge thy brother? or why set at naught thy brother? We shall all stand before the Judgment Beat of Christ. Romans 14-11. For It is written, as I live, aalth the Lord, thy knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God eter 8-8 But Beloved be not Ignorant of this thing, that one day Is with the Lord as a. thous and years, and a thousand years as one day. This brings to me the thought that to teach our children to live to help others, to use the powers they possess to benefit the weak, endure bravely the adveraltys that may befall them, think not of them selves but of those who are needy and helpless and protect those who are not able to help themselves. That God la Intelligence, power, life, love, wisdom and present everywhere. That truth and reality can never be contrary to science and reason. That man Is the son of God and to sin against man Is to sin against God, and to bless man is to ble.is God, that "whatso ever a man so wet h, that must he also reap." That "as ye mete, so shall it be measured to you again." These are the more Important truths for the mind to dwell upon It seems to mo and will have a more powerful controlling con science than any other method GRACE E. SEAHS Rt. 6 ,box SD.

Recent ly the legal relationship ol tha wife hus been changed so that tho spouse is no longer "owned legal ly" by her husband and conse quently the r-resent legal rulings on marital relutiuus ure bains' constantly modified, Professor Sophonisba Hveckcnridge of tha sociological department of tho University of Chicago declared to day in an address beforo the na tional conference of social workers here. Dut the law of status between husband and w.fe needs more elab oration she eaid. Professor Breckenridge urged social service agendas and work ers to assist in the clarification oE laws dealing with marriage and marital relations so that children will not suffer from the present defects of the btatutcs.

BRINGING UP FATHER By George McManus A Church Union A union of churches is at last an actuality in Canada, where the United Church of Canada, a merger of the Methodist Episcopal, Congregational and Presbyterian churches held first services Sunday. A faction of the Presby terian church refuses to unite and maintains independence. It was originally proposed to unite all Protestant denom inations, because it was thought there were too many small churches scattered about Canada. When the movement was launched years ago, every Protestant denomination was interested, but the world's war side-tracked the movement and all except tho three denominations effected lost interest. There are 375,000 Presbyterians in Canada of whom 108,390 voted against church union, representing but 700 preaching' stations out of 3,904. Tho balance are automatic ally included in tho merger. The Congregationalisls, who are numerically weakest, were unanimous for union, as were the Methodists, under whose lead it was perfected. The United Church does not mean fewer ministers although fewer church buildings will be required in sparsely settled communities and resources for church work trebled, the other ministers being sent to new parishes. The old traveling minister will be replaced by a permanent pastor, All told there will be 0,000 preaching stations and the nearest approach to a national church Canada has known. The Canadian example could be followed with profit in (lie United States where the tendency of Prolcstatism is to constantly split over trivialities into new factions and denominations. yyw loo uor V.fVKV lOU ftKB, R(D OF THAT (.CAVIHO TOWN ANQ SNO HE. tWB him -me jyvr Uhoneo THAT HE ACT TH6. 7 - V vBEfta ty THAT GA05E!
