The People’s Voice , , I 1..— ■ ■■■— Mr. Blank And Mr. Doe Mystery Land. Doc. 7. — ISpeclal to Daily Democrat).—A most important discovery has been unearthed by an investigating party who has been doing research work in the recent past. It has been established beyond a reasonable doubt that thtj Blanks and Does who have, been spoken of by our legal fraternity were in existanee during the Prophesies of Amos and Ezekiel. So numerous are these people at present that they can be found in every nook and corner of the universe.. The same masterialistic tinge of their blood can be traced down the ages. They are subtile and crafty beyond measure. The language they use is elusive. They continually work under cover and are wise to current events. They have a common characteristic that has been with them for ages. We refer to the blind spot in each one of their eyes that is noticable, from various angles. These people mingle with humanity and engage in business just like normal people. They even join church and stick to it under the quis of crud. They are quick to take up new ideas. Therefore the ranks of the Ku KluX Klan and the Unity League are filled with them. They are a negative force with a vaudeville precission that smacks of reality. If one of their number dies, the hotly is hurried and the officiating minister will say this body is not Mr. Blank. It is only the | house in which Mr. Blank lived. Or he will say this is not Mr. Doe. It is only the dough with which he covered his personal idenity, when alive. Life is a great game and it can be better understood if you remember that the Blanks and Does never get above the material strata of it. They follow their instinct with as much precision as the muskrat, fox or skunk follows their instinct. There is so much truth in this that the Profit Amos said in 4.1 "Hear this word, ye kine of Ba-Shan, that are in the mountains of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy; which say to their masters, ‘bring and let us drink’ ” Ezekiel calls this same class of kine, cattle, rams, and the he goats. The scientific measurements of Amos and Ezekiel are identical with our measurements today which prove their exact identity. Read Amos and Zekiel and then look over our green pastures and you will see the kine, rams and he goats, grazing on the good pastures and forcing others to eat of the residur that they have made foul with their feet. There is another class that do not follow animal instinct but heeds a consciousness that has a superhuman source, these are an asset to the community in which they life. Archbishop Ireland was an asset when he said before the National Educational Association thirty three years ago: "1 am a Catholic to the tiniest fiber of my heart, but I say to you that I would rather have all the children of this country instructed in the fundamental truth of religion by Protestant teachers than that they should grow up ignorant of these truths.” The world is hungry for more of this broad mindness. ChristAnever taught creed. He taught spirit and truth. There are but two classes. One follows spirit and truth. Next Sunday we will learn at the various Sunday schools how Philip | went down from Jerusalem to Samar-,

The thing we need right in this day and nge is more men like 1 Philip that Is not afraid to take a smash at these high places. They t , should be taught that kind makes the should be taught the fundamentals. | ( This would not interfere with the worship of Cod according to the die fates of conscience.
