THE TRUTH ABOUT COLUMBUS.
DEAR c. C. FRIENDS: Progress is the object Of
the c. c.; but there can be real progress unless
we make truth our leader and guide. Let US have
truth, and nothing but the truth, first last. and
always.
What is the truth about Columbus? Justin
Wnsor has published the best history of Columbus
ever written, and those who want to learn the
truth about Columbus should read IT,
A record of the Morse discovery of America is
preserved IN its integrity In the archives OF Copen-
hagen
Alexander Won Humboldt says: THE discovery
of the northern part of America by the Norsemen
cannot be disputed. The length of the voyage.
the direction in which they sailed the time of the
SUMS rising and setting are accurately given.
While the Caliphate of Bsgdad still furnishing
Sananides. so favorable TO poetry, still fourished
in Persia, America discovered about the year
loco by Left son of Erik the Red"
There also the best of facts to prove that CO.
lumbus profted BY the Norsemen's knowledge of
America. Adam. of Bremen. published n book in
the year 1913 in which he escribesthe Norsemen 8
discovery of America, or vinland as they called it,
Columbus could not be ignorant OF book like
that. Finland was known at the Vatican. Erik
Upsi was appointed Bishop of Finland in the year
lli2. Columbus visited Iceland in the year li77,
and he must have heard something about Einland
while he was there. The best of all proofs is that
Martin Pinzon had map of Ninland with him in
the first voyage of Columbus
These real facts and not mere fables, and il is
certain that the time will come when ali just and
honor due hin Truth crushed to earth will rise
again."-Christian simenson, Holmes City, Mimi.
WHAT TIE WORLD WANTS.
FRIENDS OF THE c. c.: What the world wants is
true. noble-hearted. womanly women, who. by
their loving influence and sacred presence. will be
guardian angels to the feeble and eTring ones.
Such women can no more be defed by evil sur
roundings than the innocent little birds that make
their home in the lonely forest We c. c. girls,
who expect to make true wives and mothers,
should remember that our mission is high and
holy one; that influence will reach into
eternity. If faithful TO duty the living will
love and the dying carry the impress of our
loved features into paradise We should be ever
ready 10 minister to the wants of the suffering
around u.s. and go forth to our duty with
faiiering trust in God. Loyalty Marguerite

THE WHISKY FIEND.
The C. c. owes Brother WinchelI, of ST. Paul. a
TIoSAL TRIBUNE of June 2. Undoubtedly, liquor
is the greatest to humanity to-day. Still we
cannot limit IL to humanity, for the drunkards
horse must suffer as well as his family.
IL is stated that man accustomed TO the use OF
intoxcants until he is 40 years of age cannot, by
his own viii power, break away from the habit.
The taste of the poison and the fascinating ciink OF
glasses, and the rafting of the various gambling
devices nearly always found in saloon, fascinate
the young so that il is hard to break away. The
practice of treating Is the worst in the whole drink
| ing business. party OF men go into saloon
one calls for drinks for the crowd. The others
think it their duty TO return the favor. aud by
peaied drinks every one in the party perhaps has
| taken far more than he would otherwise have
| done.
So, beware of your associates. The best way to
keep Ia good company is 70 keep in the best class
OF society; start y. T. G. G.. Loyal Circle l. o. G..
T. Lodge, or anything Of that order. You will not

sofa c. c. together this Fall during State Fair
/ week. The very idea of Reunion in the North
| Star" should awaken enthusiasm. i would be
pleased TO hear from those favoring this idea. BY

HONOR THE SABBATH
DEAR c. c. FRIENDS: agree with Georgia Ha-
ner about the Worlds Fair question; say close
the Worlds Fair on Sunday. We all proud OF
| our country, and every true American has a right
to be proud of her record, for where you find
| a country that has one more clean or spotless?
| From the beginning God has blessed our country,
and He has brought il through the awful struggles
into which ii has been plunged. He has greatly
blessed our Nation and our flag; and now we are
going TO repay Him for His loving Kindness by
disobeyitsg His holy commandment. Remember
the Sabbath day to keep it holy" Is this Nation
Stars and Stripes the flag of the brave and free.
! the banner OF honor and purity-which has never
been lowered in shame and disgrace? Will Con-
gress do this? God forbid The whole world Is
| watching the actions of our Government ready to
introduce our institutions and customs into their
| own countries. We are called Christian Nation,
and the world expects great things of u.s. II rests
with our Government whether the world shall see
| the United States add more noble act to her
| splendid record. or whether they shall see her
covered with shame and disgrace. Honor God,
honor The Sabbath, honor our country, and honor
our flag.
