LINCOLN DAY SERVICE
Sunday evening service in the Meth
odist church was in commemoration of
the life of Abraham Lincoln and his
service to humanity.
The text chosen by Rev. Carter was
taken from the Book of Proverbs,, a
book made up of the wisdom distilled
through long ages of experience and
observation of the rise and fall of na
tions. The words of the text were,
“Righteousness exalteth a nation, but
sin is a reproach to any people.”
Rev. Carter stated his firm belief
in an intelligent personality that is
ever working through men for the
betterment of the human race and that
this personality called God brought
Lincoln to the head of the nation and
thru him wiped out the sin of negro
slavery which had long been a re
proach to the nation.
Rev. Carter also called attention to
various national sins in the past that
have been a reproach to widely separ
ated peoples which through the in
strumentality of divinely directed men
and women have been Alleviated if not
entirely abated* He also expressed his
belief that intemperance in the use
of spirituous liquors had become such
a sin as to be a great reproach to our
nation and that nothing short of the
prohibition of the manufacture, sale,
and use* of alcoholic liquor would ever
free the nation from this reproach.
\ow that prohibition has become a
part of the law of the land it is the
duty of good citizens to obey the law
and Rev. Carter believes that citizens
s a whole will eventually submit to
"he law. He further believes that the
success of the United States in this
move will have a far-reaching in
fluence for good among other nations.
About one o'clock in the afternoon
a man walked into the Gateway Of
fice to leave an advertisement. A
young woman was the sole occupant
of the apartment before she entered
Vhe was sitting behind the counter
when he opened the door and came for
ward to meet him as he entered the
door with a sort of “none - of- your
familiarity- young- man,” air.
The following dialogue ensued:
He— “What will twenty lines cost ev
ery day for a week?”
she— ‘Twenty lines.”
He— “yes”
She— “For a week?”
He— Yes, every minute, and every
hour in the day and every day in thr
week.
She— Twenty l*nes.
He— Yea twenty lines, fcvery minute
and every 1/jr in the diy and every
«lay in the ^vcek.
She— You mean twenty lines six days
every day.
He— (cxuacdly) Yes.
She— (Calmnly) But we don’t print
Sunays.
He— (In a frenxy) I know it
She— (With exasperating coolness)
To begin today.
The paper is out today, will to
morrow do? '
He— (Walking up and down the floor
trying not to swear) It ain’t to go in
until next week.
By the time she liad gotten her pen
cil down on a piece of paper.
She— Two dollars and a half.
He- All right give me the bill
She—A what?(
He— A bill, A William. A biU for the
advertisement
She— Oh, you want to pay in advance.
He— No. I*m damned if I do. I want
a bill.
She— (sudenly) Hold on a minute. I
have made a mistake. Did you say
twenty lines six days, every day.
He— In deadly fear of having to go
o*r it all again) Yes, For Heavens
name yes.
She— Oh that will be eighty-fifty.
That settled it He rushed out of
the office ran to his room snatched his
vmlice and bolted for the Gateway
Flier on his Viy to Anchossge.
For one month every year Moham
medans fmat by day bnt satisfy their
wants by night
A good many people secretely re
joice at the misfortune of their
friends. . .
That was a pretty piece of devotion
on the part of the wife who gave a
piece of her Jawbone to repair her
husbands broken leg! Now if it will
only be still long enough to knit with
the other bone, all will be well
