COMMUNITY NEWS Monday, May 26 to midnight Ladies & Mens PANTS | GREAT LOOKS... AT UNBELIEVABLE SAVINGS!!! Pulpit & Pew None of use who con- tributes to Pulpit and Pew would like to see this column deteriorate into a space to vent our anger or frustration over political and moral is- sues of the day. We are here to express the mind of God as it is revealed to us, that readers may be encouraged to search the scriptures for themselves. Some things just make us sick at heart, however, and our mind becomes unloosed and we speak out. If my res- ponse is political or moral, it doesn't make it any less an appeal for Christian thought. A few years ago, Small Boy, an aggressive Indian chieftain led a party of fol- lowers in a lock, stock and barrel exodus from their Hobbema reservation in western Alberta to a new en- vironment free from the de- moralizing effect of their former home. Small Boy had r dl; ers in firewater. Their stock in trade was whisky from Montreal's, Fort Benton- Co. Kanouse and Johnie Healey plied their trade without conscience, and old Fort Whoop Up with its log stock- ade and brass cannon became another way of expressing uehery. A. Macdonald (not known for this abstinence himself) cal- led them. To preserve Canada for the Canadians a corps of 300 “able-bodied men of good stated that booze was the major cause for their depart- ure. He wanted his people to learn about God, he had said. Now, I have no idea what this cip ‘s i to put an end to the business. The men who Maintain the Right eventually closed the whisky forts and won glory for the newly formed North- Police. of God may have been, but I can't but admire a man who dares equate hoocheroo with one of the greatest curses of all time. In a society which has left God out of so much and ex- presses Jesus Christ as a west i Liquor enrages an Indian, so we were told. It was as- sumed that a paleface be- haved like a gentleman under the influence, so Indians were barred from buying it. Now we have matured into ‘a nation and Indians have a vote along with other priv- ileges to which they are cer- tainly entitled It made good political sense a hundred years agg to chase off the foreign inter- lopers and save the red man from moral degeneration. We can only conclude that today it makes good political sense since our great ad- vancement in social structure to make the modern day hoocheroo more available and pour it in ever-increasing quantities down the throats of every Canadian. It is supposed to enhance the coffers of the govern- men}ing-tobaceo — has given fers the trauma of alcohol’s so called benefits knows the issue is moral not political. ‘And who does the govern ment think it is fooling when it talks about making money out of booze? The 1G. Baker brew of firewater — spiked with mol- asses, red pepper, and chew- ing-tobacco — & given way to a more sophisticated drink that is supposed to “belong” to every household. The “filtered through char. coal smoothness” the “aged in wood vintage,” the “trad- itional” is still Fort Whoop “coffin varnish.” If one cares to believe the advertising, that happy-go lucky attitude, that life of Riley and smug lifestyle is found by twisting off a bottle burden to pray and preach down God's dealing with rampant corruption that was years until their words like flaming brands burned the hearts of men and women. Much of the violence and in justice stopped. Bars were shut down vol untarily and the Holy Spirit swept across the country in great convicting power. It helped make Britain a great bulwark of Christianity but it is sad to witness its deterioration since those great years. In this country we need more Wesleys and another Sir John A. careless exp! only, it is heartening to hear of one who desires to know more about his Creator. I say bully for Small Boy! This brings to mind some sobering facts of Canadian history. After the American civil war, when the bison were on the way to annihilia- tion, the Indians were being pushed from their hunting grounds by the steady stream of settlers’ wagons rolling west.
