we have established a branch
house at River Falls, and some
of them claim they would not
handle our machines this year

TO celebrate next fourth OF March, on q
scale even more taking than last year.
Last year none Of the great Bear frsterni-

ing a few among the many distinguished
guests men from abroad, whose childhood
days were spent among the rugged hills OF
old Oxford. II this course Is decided up

will be done by such Bears as ex.Vice

Washburne, ex-Gov. Long, P. NJ. General
Howe, aud other men OF renown, whose
names have rendered their country Illus.

programme, the anniversary will be a
grand success, as the Bears never go' In

The worshipers Of Brahma occupy India,
q territory containing l4o millions OF in.
habitants who speak m any different lam
guages and dialects. 1t is an ample teld
for missionaries who commenced the work
in 1907 under the directions OF the Protes-
tant Church in Denmark. But little was
accomplished. The real work was again
commenced ia 1898 aud since that period
80 societies have established missions In
that benighted land. There are now near
ly 500 missionaries lsboring in India,
assisted by 240 native preachers. The
number OF converts is estimated about GO
thousand. This Is small number, when
compared with the millions who now, ar
ter the uuceasing efforts OF Christians for
80 years, are bowling down in blind super
stition, TO worship unknown Gods.
Brahmanism, is very ancient religion,
embraced by a race Of pastoral people in
habitiug Asia three thousand years before
Christ, bat since divided into several ma
tlous, the Greeks, Lstins, Persians aud
Hiudoos Their sacred books called the
"vedas"are said to have been finished four
teen hundred years before our era; and the
first hymns written twenty-four hundred
years before the adv, mt Of Christ, being four
hundred years prior to Abraham and about
nty-two years before the food. 1t Is
claimed by many, that the "Vedas" COM
prise some Of the oldest writings In the
world. Others assert that the book OF
job compiled or written 1890 years anter-
ior to the birth OF Christ Is an earlier date
than can be assigned to any OF the Hindoo
writ ngs.
Their Sacred books are quite numerous
and contain q brief account OF creation,
their Gods, and different attributes and a
code OF morals, entitled to at one for the
Kingdom OF Heaven.
