part are mere shells, and the crops in
many cases have been failures. Many
Of these settlers live fifty miles from a
railroad, and should the snow continue
to fall, it would be almost impossible
to reach them with any heavy freight.
Hardy, (Neb) Record: The spe-
cial services at the Lutheran church
conducted by Rev. w. A. Welcher, d.
D., of Abilene, Kas., closed On last
Sabbath evening. These services were
highly profitable because the word of
God was honored and its truth so ably
and plainly set forth. Every single
method Of mans devising was made
to the Holy Spirit and bible
truth. Truths new and old were pre-.
Sented with earnestness and power.
Our judgment of this earnest preacher,
after laboring with him for three weeks
is declared to be most favorable.
