MONTANA STANDARD BUTTB, SUNDAY MORNING, JANUARY 8, 1933. WHAT I THINK ABOUT THE CHURCHES WILL ROGERS A Preacher named Rev. Mr. Grant of Simpson Methodist Church, of Minneapolis, wrote me: "I am speaking on you and your life's philosophy at a Sunday evening ves- ll per service, in our great Church of 2,000 members. Is there 3 any word of'greeting? I would appreciate it.

Yours, A. 1 Raymond Grant, Pastor." Well, the same night I answered his letter I had to wrAte my weekly Sunday Article. So I couldent see why one "Greeting" or "Alabi" wouldent do for both. He had been mighty nice and I appreciated It. So I got strung out arid in my long-winded way, I sounded like a Preacher without a stop signal.

Dear Rev. Grant: I got your letter saying you was 4 "Speaking 011 me." But you dident say why? There Is an awful lot of different ways to speak on me, and all of 'em be pretty hear true at that. My life has got more angles than a cat. You may be one 5 of these Republicans (as most of the Ministers have gone 1 into politics). You may be one that blamed me for electing Mr.

Roosevelt, or you might be one of those Democrats who blamed me for electing Mr. Hoover four years ago. This is kinder the public season to Jump on me if anything has gone wrong, everything from a scarcity of skunk hides in the Northwest to a predominating amount'of girl babies in Pennsylvania. You see, Rev. Grant, I think I am as Independent as any one writing.

I have as many Republican as Democratic papers, as many readers that can't read as can. The editorial policies of these great dallies mean nothing to me, I am going to call 'em as I see 'em. I think I have complimented many a worthy thing in my time, and I have'taken a shot at a lot of "Hooey." I am not against it mind you, as It just seems that it takes so much of it In every business. And they are all my friends. I am proud of the fact there is not a human being that I have got it in for.

I never met a man I dident like. I got no "Philosophy," I don't even know what the word means. The Fourth Reader (McGuffys) is as far as I ever got in schools. I am not bragging on it, I am thoroughly ashamed of it, for I had every opportunity, everything I have done has been by luck, no move was premeditated. I just stumbled from one thing to another.

It might have been down. I dident know at the time, and I don't know yet, for I don't know what "Up" Is. I may be lower than I ever was. I don't know. I may be making the wrong use of any little talent (if any) that I accidentally have.

I don't know. I was raised predominately a Methodist, but I have traveled so much, mixed with so many people in all parts of the world, I don't know now Just what I am. I know I have never been a non-believer. But I can honestly tell you that I don't think that any one religion is The religion. If I am broad-minded in any way (and I hope I am In many), but I do know that I am broiid-minded In a religious way.

Which way you serve your God will never get one word of argument or condemnation out of me. There has been times when I wished there had been as much real religion among some of our creeds as there hns been vanity, but that's not In any way criticism. I feel mighty proud that you will discuss me in your tabernacle. The joke is more on you than on me. I thought the only time I would ever make the pulpit as a conversational subject was when I finished, and then only by one' minister who's charges for kind words would be deducted from the estate.

I feel like I did the other day when they, told me I was in the British "Who's Who." There was no way I could sue 'em or make 'em retract, mid there is no way to keep you from gabbing around about anything you like. I heard a fellow preach one time on Jesse James, the outlaw, and I left the church wanting to hold up everything and everybody I run into. So if you are such a persuasive preacher, you are liable to turn out a flock of Swedish comedians up'around Minneapolis. Don't make the life too rosy, for with the politicians horning In, our comedian business is overcrowded as It is. I preached one time in a church in Cleveland, Ohio.

But the collection dident warrant me carrying it on as a steady profession. Preaching should not only be done by a preacher, but by a man like Gandhi, who can do Pasting when necessary, for it will be necessary. Minneapolis has always been one of my pet cities, they have been good to me on every occasion I was ever there. They have not only laughed at me, but paid to laugh at me! Love to all your congregation, including the ones thet. are not paid up, Its Just hard times, they mean well, Parson.

They got just as much religion as the paid up ones, so you will Just have to trust 'em, and give 'em a little preaching "On Time." You see preaching is one of the few things that folks have never been able to dope out exactly what its worth anyhow. Some preachers ought to pay admission to get Into the church themselves, but as a rule preachers do a mighty good Job and are underpaid. But there Is a lot of dignity about the clerical profession that you would have to work for years for in any other line. But you arc sympathetic, useful, instructive and the most worth-while profession ever Invented. I wish your church a happy and charitable '33, or any other years.

Ns use being stingy in your wishes. Pick out as many years as you want nnd I will wish you good luck with nil of 'cm. Yours, Will. (Copyright, 1933, by tho McNnught Syndicate, Inc.)

"In the office they treat me like another man and Mr. Pierce," she gulps, "he doesn't know I'm anything but just another machine like a typewriter or "Tell me about it," I says, to calm her down. I didn't want her having hysterics In my booth.

That would look fine, now, wouldn't it? Anyway I felt kind of sorry for her. You could see she was all bothered and not like herself. "Nonsense," she says. "Why should There's nothing to (ell, anyway.

Two of her works have already been exhibited. ittle brat with her curls perfume came Into the "Mr. Pierce notices her, eh?" "NOTICES her! He positively awns on her.

Not so much like man's You have to go to expensive places for the sort of thing I mean but they'll make (he other girl's look like something out of a church rummage sale." "All right. But, remember, I'm depending on you." So I went (o work. Oh, was that your ear? Sorry, always say life would be-a lot easier for hairdressers if ladies were born without ears.

After all, I'd spent more time than I should with that dame and I had my Job do. But after I finished my next ady, I went back to see what had lappencd. The lady was just ready bo leave and you never saw so big a difference! She looked swell.

Really. And say. was she tickled! She gave us both big tips and starts to leave, smiling all over. I pocketed my dollar and figured my time lad been well spent. "Let me know hov; things turn out," I says to her.
