T MINISTERS of Seattle, together with all right thinking people, most earnestly
every man, woman and child in the city to attend some church on Sun
day, February Bth.
Church-going it no doubt influenced largely by habit. It should not be left to
the hazardous and questionable influence of habit. £hurch-going ought to be con
sidered a spiritual duty. One ought to go to church to worship, to secure spiritual
benefit, to be equipped and fortified against the temptations of life and to be made
ready for the aggressive life of righteousness, Christianity and service to mankind.
"Nothing to Investigate!"
No, Congressman W. E. Humphrey of Seattle finds
"nothing to inquire into" in the Colorado coal strike.
"There has been entirely too much outside interference
in this matter already," he says. No, there is "nothing to
investigate" EXCEPT SAVAGE MILITARY ATTACKS ON
WOMEN AND GENERAL DISREGARD OF HUMAN

benefited physically, mentally and spiritually. Spiritual food is essential to the development of the

«he was real nice and pretty, but. Lord, I couldn't
get stuck on her in 1,000 years.
"I want you to lay your plans so that you ant!'
I can take a trip together or live close peighbors
so we can be in each other'* company about two
hours a day for two months. By that time we
would know for a certainty whether we suited
each other or not. Then we could lay our plans
for a change.
"I don't think I could get near all out of

be able to get someone else. »uf it would take five
