WANTS DEMOCRATS TO PATRONIZE FRIEND. CHURCH OUT OF POLITICS. Editor Progressive Opinion: Your writers have said much, and said it deservedly, about the News' olumnist Pegler, He1, bad enough, but let me tell you that he is saintly compared with one who dictates and the one who writes most of the editorials editor-ials for said paper. Democrats, you better wake up or the reactionaries will sweep you out and kill all forms of social progress. And better patronize patron-ize a friend like C N. LUND, who is the only man who has stood against the insurance reactionaries. High churchmen should keep out of politics. And the paper should change its treasonable policy. P. B. Nielsen. MR. EARL HAS THE FINE SPIRITUAL VIEWPOINT i j (Editor's note. In the third paragraph of this splen did communication Mr. Earl speaks of the inspiration he . gets from our paper. And that's the high aim of all our efforts to inspire people. Not money, not position, but a humble and burning desire to forward humanity by inspiring in-spiring it with social and spiritual truth.) Progressive Opinion. Dear Friend Lund: Today closes a period of 1943 years since the birth of Christ. His birth, His life's work, His Crucifixion and His Resurrection was for the purpose of pointing the way 1 by which the human race ca n get back into the presence of their maker, if only they, will follow the pattern set by j Him. His life's work was a spiritual mission, but the world has grown cold and cruel to the degree that the Spiritual side of life is all but forgotten. Spiritual darkness is creeping stealthly over the earth like a hungry catamount sneaking noiselessly upon its prey to devour it, and we humans are sitting passively by awaiting await-ing to be devoured. The world is hungering for spiritual food, spiritual enlightenment while the object of their 1 heart's desire is within the grasp of every human being. I Why is it that the life of Jesus and His works are not preached from the pulpit? Discussed on the street corner? Taught in the home? Published in the papers? Outside the Good Book itself, about all the spiritual inspiration I receive is in reading your little paper, Progressive Progres-sive Opinion, and I appreciate your untiring efforts in keep- ing the light burning high on the hilltop. You are fighting . - for the good cause .with the sword of truth, and you are deserving a lot more credit than has been given you. I am a poor man, but I have been scrimping and sav-' sav-' i ing a few dimes and pennies until my cash register in my hip pocket shows a balance of $5.00, which I am inclosing to you along with my humble prayers for a happy and prosperous New Year for you and your household. If I could speak to all the readers of Progressive Opinion I would say "come across, boys, and let's give C. N. Lund a little financial boost." Very truly yours, Sylvester Earl |
