Friends, what are you doing for your homo paper ? Havo you ever sent away a specimen copy V Have you ever asked a friend to subscribe ? If not, why not? We want your help— *we have a right to it. We aro doing all wo can for this country; wo are doing all we can for the people of this valley; giving them ' everything their money pays for. Do you say we are too radical? Is truth too radical ? Do you want us to tell you lies? llell and damnation has been the fate of liars and deceivers and those ■thohavo followed their advice. The terrible curse ol' poverty and crime that rest upon us as a nation are the fruits of false teachings! What will you have; do you want more of it V Truth, and truth alone will save us, not only as a nation hut as a community, from destruction. Shall wo then teach | falsehood? Never 1 we propose to tell God’s truth as we see it or nothing. We are giving away from ten to fif teen dollars’ worth of paper every month to help bring this part of Colorado into prominence. What arc you doing? We ask this question of the lop-eared hound species of humanity who, with the intellect of a prehistoric jackass and with presumption, nerve and pure unadulterated gall, largely predominat ing in their mental make-up, stand on the street corner and tell how to run a newspaper. A single paper sent to a friend; a single subscription secured, may materially aid us iu the develop ment and the settlement of our fertile little valley. 11 elp us to spread the truth. Only a Matter of Taste. We notice by mi Eastern exchange that the social and religious element of a small village in Minnesota have re ceived a shock, which proved well-nigh fatal, because certain members of the church choir have been guilty of (lanc ing in the church while waiting for the other members to come to choir-prac tice. Now, in the opinion of a layman, this action is no more to be condemned than lots of things which are com mended by the entire church-going fra ternity. With all due respect to the church and the house of God, realizing that chlslianity has done much to bring ua into our present state of civilization, is it any worse to dance in a church, than it is to pray in a saloon ? If the n*nu(i»r *lio olMirvli in ili.iiiuiuj jtjii] the dignity of the true and ever-living God insulted hv dancing within the holy walls erected for the purpose ot making manifest our devotion to Ids sacred memory, how the supreme ruler must feel the blow tlint is dealt him and his teachings when the Christian war fare, which was intended to draw all mankind w ithin its folds by love, char ity and honorable teachings, assumes an aggressivo attitude and is forced upon people regardless of their own personal opinions. This we all know to he the condition of things at the present day. Nearly all religious denomina tions urge their missionaries to carry the campaign into the gambling houses and saloons but they object most stren uously to having their members placed under influences of a different nature than those of their own teaching. This is uncharitable; this is not following the fundamental principles of Christian religion as taught by our saviour, and as should bo taught by all true Christians. Christianity teaches us to love our ene mies; if we follow this text, must we not respect their opinions and beliefs as wo do our own ? and by our own ex ample strive to lead, rather than drive, them into the fold of God. If some particular members of the church have a more perfect understand ing, or a clearer conception of the script ures than other members of the same church, should the fortunate ones say to the unfortunate beings, w ho are just ns sincere in their desire to serve the J.<ord, ** Ye arc a generation of vipers. Get thee lienee ! We will not be con taminated by your presence! Ye shall not be one of us, neither shall you sing in this choir.” Is this Christ-like? Is It charitable towards our fellowman? Does it come within the bounds of true politeness? Whose chances would you rather have of entering the pearly gates and forevermore walking the streets of the New Jerusalem —that of the innocent young ladies who indulged iu a few moments of dancing, even if it was in a church, or of those women who degrade the religion they preach by carrying their efforts to save erring humanity into places untit for woman's presence and where they excite only ridicule and contempt for themselves.
