Nowhere else Is this admirable

vertSd slighted or entirely ignored,
as just where it is most needed and,
when used, appears to the high
est and best advantage
10 the study and teaching Of
the Scriptures The Bible is not all
equally important. 1t contains the
record of many, many facts, of no
spiritual value whatever. They
have no moral bearing on the lives
OF people; control NO bad tempers
assuage NO grief; and are OF no as
sistAnce in Arresting temptation, and
incite no aspirations for the good
and true. The consideration of
them is werse than useless. Far
fetched deductions from these I'M
important facts are still more stul-
tifying. How hath my soul sicken-
ed within me when listening to
lengthy discussions as to whether
Elijah was bald by accident, de-
sign or in the due course OF nature ;
whether Gideon's chosen soldiers
Tapped the water from their hands
or from the stream; on the exact
length of the creation period; de
mansions of the ark, and other like
topics upon which any sensible
christian, or heather either, should
be ashamed to waste time. Some
lay great stress on the geography of
the Bible, which is no more inter-
esting than any other geography.
They can tell the exact distance and
direction of jerusalem, Joppa, Beth
lehem, Nazareth, SC, from Emporia ;
each mountain and river must be
located, and its respective height,
length and Characteristic given, the

is then related, If there is time, and

he is. To insist on the belief of
the incredible, very often destroys
faith. Why not make the Bible
answer the purpose for which 1t
was intended, by teaching the pu-
pills what they can understand and
use for their daily religious needs ?
Teach them the Christian virtues OF
humility, resignation and the most
steadfast faith found in the book of
job; or from the "Sweet singer OF
Israel" teach all q christians life,
his hopes and fears, his virtues and
his failings, and the never failing
strength which sustains him through

The nlInne.osa Wheat King

From the Fargo Mimi Times.
We had the curiosity the other
day to ask Mr.. Dalrymple what he
expected the profit on his wheat
crop would be this year. He re-
piled that at present prices for
wheat his net profit would be about
$40 per acre. AS he is half owner
Of 1850 acres of wheat In the Red
River Valley, and has 1900 acres
on his home farm at Cottage Grove,
Mimi, his profits this year may be
put at $4,000. Dalrymple had five
steam thrashers at work on
his 4,OOO-acre farm at Cassleton,
each one threshing an average of
], 1000 bushels per day. The grain is
hauled directly to the cars as fast as
threshed, and shipped to New York,
via Duluth and the lakes. He loads
and forwards 10 cars per day. At
$50 bushels to the car. the crop of
this place will make 257 carloads.
The yield from, what has been
thrashsd SO far, is estimated at
80, 900 bushels-an average of r2216

Mr.. Dalrymple has q half interest,
and which will average equally

road. tits owned by George w.
Cass and p. B. Cheney, OF New
York, and Oliver Dalrymple, the
"Wheat King of Minnesota" as he
Is termed. Twelve hundred acres
were broken in 1875 and sowed to
wheat last year. This year there
are 1900 acres IN wheat--and 9

Mr.. Dalrymple also owns . hall

acres Just north of Elm river, in
Trail county, Dakota, IS miles
north of Fargo. The other owners
are the Grandin brothers, bankers,

may add that it is the intention Of
the owners of these two huge farms
to break on an average about 5,O0C
acres each year until the whole 81,
4 600 are brought under cultivation.
They have abundant means, and the
experiment so far has proved that
IL is not possible to make q better
