Show GATHERED HERE AND THERE it may be interesting to you to know that many comments were made concerning the story of the indian trial and our editorial of last week on the subject it would seem that the lengthy account of the trial was appreciated therefore we feel repaid for the extra time given to write and to print it we find considerable difference of opinion however in in regard to the verdict of the jurors and it is surprising to find that some of the very ones we expected to agree with us in regard to leniency for the accused men would have brought in a similar verdict on the other hand there are those who have enough love in their hearts for other races and especially for the indians who live to the south of us to condone their actions and who would pardon the two men for a crime committed more than ten years ago and so help to create a better feeling now it has been interesting indeed to hear pro and con opinions and although the majority would seem to be against us we hold to our opinion reminding those who would impose death penalty or life imprisonment that the last words of jesus were father forgive them in the new order of living so close upon us we believe there will be no such extreme penalty for crime there be occasion occasion to commit crime under the new system of living to be established life liberty and pursuit of happiness will take the place of hate greed and intolerance and so will all peoples realize that gods daw for mankind is being fulfilled although it may seem impossible to establish such order in our day and generation we know that many of us biow now living will remain in life long enough to see the real beginning and to take part in the establishment thereof but first must come a willingness on the part of individuals to forgive after the manner jesus taught and to help those who in moments of desperation do things that are considered wrong there is a tremendous amount of missionary work to be done to uphold the christ like way of living and until the two commandments jesus taught are practiced which really embrace all of the ten commandments given to moses we will continue to have thievery deceit and even murder to contend with |
