ABOUT HE BIBLE.

An Evenlng Devoted to the Work of the
American Bible Society.
The union Bible SERVICES OF the Con-
gregatiopal church last evening we're of
on order unusually interesting. The
audience, which was large, was com.
posed of Congregational, Methodist and
Baptist representatives, besides a num.
Der of Pensioners from other churches.
Rev. Messrs. Bradley, Nichols and Bur.
dick conducted the services, which were
opened by q musical selection by the
choir. Scripture reading and prayer
were followed by q ten minute address
by Rev. Mr.. Nichols. who alluded par
ticular to the great work OF the Bible Us
an educator. In substRntiating his as
sertion, that the Bible is and always has
been the greatest educational work in
existence. Mr.. Nichols called attention
to the fact that in lands where the Bible
was most generally in use the people
as a whole are more intelligent and bet
ter morally. He cited Scotland as an
illustration and said that the effect of
the use OF the Bible in Scotland was
apparent in the few criminals
found among the Scotch. MIR. Nichols
regretted that in the public institutions
of America very few Bibles were in use,
in comparison with other countries.
Rev. Mr.. Burdick next addressed the
audience, taking for his subject the dis.
cussion of the question: "Why do we
need the Bible" He held that the Bible
was necessary as a foundation in this
country for its liberty, for its instltu.
tions. In o land where the people OF
many nations were represented there
was great need for some medium where
by the people are all put upon q com
mon level and such q medium the Bible
is in America. It was necessary as O
incubator of social customs and as a
nainteiner of the equality of sexes.
Young men needed its precepts to build
character upon and as a guide for life.
The Bible is needed as a protection for
nation, homes, institutions and liberties
and it was indispensable IN that regard.
Rev. Mr. Bradley next extolled the
great and good work done be the Ameri-
can Bible society in providing means for
the distribution of Bibles
to ell the nations of the earth
He spoke with spirit against the obiec-
ton TO the use of the Bible in public
schools, which is now being put forth by
many people. He quoted st. Paul,
who said that he was not ashamed of
the gospel of Christ and called attention
to the events in the wake of Paul's life,
all OF which tended to show the elevat-
ing and instructive ~propensities OF the
Bible. The Bible was also a conqueror.
After 300 years of persection the Bible
conquered Rome, and the power Of Gods
church is the Bible. Samuel j. Miller,
the founder of the American Bible 30
ciety, was eulogized for his goodness by
Mr.. Bradley. When Mills began his
work, there was n communicate to
every sixteen people and now there Is
n to every five. The. Bible was the
cheapest book in the world, II could
be obtained for the asking, of the Ameri.
can Bible society.
A collection for the society was taken
up, and the meeting was dismissed.

ASH. PAUL %CoNNEcunN.
Xaniton in search OF a Northwest,

AaniAton in Search OF Il Northwestern
Outlet.
In the st. Paul Globe OF Sunday is
printed an interview with VIM. NJ.
Powers, of Yankton, in which Mr.. Pow
ers says:
Yankton at the present time lacks only
sixty and one.half miles of railroad to
be in direct communication with St.
faul. Ii these sixty and one.helf miles
were now constructed, Ysnkton would
have a direct line of railway to st. Paul,
giving her iobbing resources, which she
does not now possess, and yet needs and
seeks.
As now situated, through roundabout
Sioux City connections, Yankton is
forced 10 buy OF Chicago at the merclless
disadvantage of a long haul.
b same situation is true also OF ell
that valuable and fertile country tribu-
tray to Yankton, and which for lack of
direct st. Paul connections must remain
at the mercy of Chicago combinations
and untapped by the true commercial
center of the northwest.
The advantages OF an extension of the
Willmar 4 Sioux Fails division of the
Manitoba road from Sioux FEafis to
Iankton, over an easy grade and through
a country famous for its diversified
products, would be mutual to Yankton
and st. Paul Southeastern Dakota and
northwestern Nebraska would have given
them q new and wealthy home market
Tor their products and st. Paul find o
lobbing field eager to receive her, but
now held back by lack of proper railroad
facilities.
The distance from Yankton to Chicago
is $50 miles. Yankton can only reach
ct. Paul uow by coming to Sioux City,
there changing to the Omaha road end
thence up, a distance in ell OF over 3C0
miles, and over roads in the pool to favor
Chicago and iplure st. Paul.
The new line which we seek shortens
the haul, and brings into play a power
full competing rival, whose efforts would
rebound to the financial benefit of st.
Paul and Yankton.
Yankton marketed at Sioux City and
Chicago last year $4,000 hogs, that with
proper rail facilities would have come TO
st. Paul, aud also $4,000 head of cattle
which came in frcm Dakota and Nebras-
ka.
Our farmers raise corn, cattle and
hogs, and when one of these products
fail the others are left to fall back upon.
Naturally, thes, they are wealthy.
Their personal preferences for trade
lie with st. Paul, and st. Paul cannot
afford to ignore the invitation held out
to her to come in.
Yankton is q growing point that by
rights should draw on st. Paul for sup
plies. We are making 100000 worth OF
improvements this year.
AS one instance of what our farmers
could do in the way of shipments to st.
Paul, l can cite thst of Pearson &
Houlton, neal Yankton, who raise 60 to
70 bushels OF corn to the acre, send o1t
30 carloads OF cattle and 10 10 20 of hogs
every year.
This should find q natural outlet in
st. Paul. If Mr.. Hill will push his
road into Yankton he can haul us coal,
and take back stock and corn in such
quantities as TO make the investment
