Last Tuesday night, fourteen new members were initiated into Cresco Camp, No. 121, Woodmen of the World. The event wa3 interesting as marking the completion of a task given this camp by the Sovereign Commander and his State deputy for Iowa. The task allotted wjas to put their membership to the 100 mark in a given time (which meant to double the number of members May 1st,) and ut the expiration of the time, the rk had been accomplished and a good margin to spare. The reward is to be the presentation of a fine $100 silk banner to Cresco Camp, which af fair will occur about the middle of next month and will be made the oc casion of an open meeting which will be honored with the presence of the national lecturer, Rev. G. II. Scbley, Ph. D., and probably other of the Sov ereign Camp officers. Of this feature our readers will see more hereafter. Cresco Camp is now the second lar gest fraternity in Cresco and is crow ing rapidly, the work of late of State District Deputy R. E.

W. is to-day one of the leading, the largest, and the soundest insurance orders in the world and the man needing safe, sure and perma nent protection will make no mistake in giving his application to Mr. Evans. As an additional inducement to pros pective members, the entrance fee has been reduced during his stay. The meeting Tuesday evening was addressed briefly by State Deputy An derson, and during the eveuing he ac complished the formation of a com pany of the Uniform Rank, W. O. W., a new feature of this order, designed to occupy the position of similar mili tary organisations in some of the sooial fraternities. A company of 18 young men responded, and elected as tieir captain, Dunoati Mcintosh. This feature will be given much a*, tention and will prove a popular ono. All the members are invited to join this rank, which also includes a de gree team. The camp has several social enter tainments in view for the coming winter, and promise to its member ship and friends that at the close of the season Crcsco Camp will be one of the leading camps in the state of the progressive and popular order W.

Wherefore, behold, 1 send uato you the prophets, and wise men, and Scribes and some of them ye shall kill and crucify and some of them ye shall scourge in your synagogues, and per secute them from city to city that' upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachlas, whom ye slew between the temple tind the altar." The same spirit and desire for blood and murder dominates the Mammon preachers of to-day as It did from early history. Hatted, hatred! is the spirit of Mammon." Loot is the spirit of Christianity, is Christianity. It would not be feafe for any man any where, except for a preacher in a pul pit, to preach the cold blooded mur der of three-fourths of the population. If this is not anarchy, I wish to know what in the name of common sense anarchy is? You may, Mr. Subscriber get the idea from what I have said, that I am not a believer in Christianity. On the contrary I am a sincere believer in the Christian doctrine and It pains me to hear the ministers of the gos pel preach anarchy and hatred, in stead of love antl peoce.

In the first place you seem worried over some harsh expression from the pul pit In regard to this question. Now don't take it hard at heart, for history repeats itself continuously. Every reform .religious or social has been met with derision and oppo sition from the clergy. Christ him self was confronted with the same op position and he denounced the Scribes and Pharisees in the following terms as recorded In St. Matthew 33: "Woe unto you, Scribes and Pharisees, hypo crites! because ye build the tombs ef the probets, and garnish the sepul chres of the righteous, and say, if ue had been in the days of our fathers, wc would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the pro phet".

Yes, before you was bom it was introduced into certain branches of our government. We are all socialists to a certain extent, even those well meaning, but ill talking preachers who denounce it, are social ists.
