Now it is Lawrence county which has

Of an effort to make Meade county, or

its share OF this old Indebtedness OF 1889,
which had been made in excess OF the
limit fixed by congress. Although the
territorial Legislature of Dakota at it's

ing Lawrence county to use the money
raised by the sale of such bonds, the
Judge holds that the debt is null and

THE POWER OF HOME.
Its Relation to Society and Its InHuencs
In the Church.

Its Relation to Society and Its Influence
In the Church.
The unit of society is the home. En-
rollment that assumes to be thorough is
not a registration by individuals, but
by families. If we were to say that the
structure of society is cellular, we
should have to say that it is the family
that constitutes each separate cell. No
man, however entire, is a cell. No
woman, however complete, is a cell.
There is no finished cell except in the
grouping of several individuals bound
by the ties of domesticity. A bachelor is
a dislocated fragment. His female coun-
terpart is in the same category. 1t may
not DO their fault. 1t may lie in the
necessity of their case. Still, all in all,
it is a condition foreign to divine in
tention.
1t is to tho family, therefore, that we
shall have to look as being the prime
point of concern in all that relates to
the veal of our times and u kind.
The strength and health of society are
to be measured by the amount Of affeo-
tionate emphasis that is laid on the
home idea, and the wholesomeness of
society is simply the sanctity Of the
home writ large. Homes are each Of
them the separate roots that carry their
several contributions to the organized
structure Of the general life.
All of this holds whether society be
considered in its religious relations,
which we know as the church, or in its
secular ones, known as the state. The
home is the first church, and the home
is the first state. There is nothing in
either of the two that is not initially
present in q small way inside the home
circle. As regards the former there is a
very important idea conserved in SO ar
ranging our church auditoriums as to
combine the congregation without sacri-
ficing the identity Of its families. The
pew system of worship is the deft way
that our church architecture takes to
teach the doctrine that each home is q
lite religious organism. This is one Of
those interesting cases where q sense Of
fitness, sven without being distinctly
conscious of it, nevertheless asserts it.
preston of itself. And there is no
preacher-at least there is no pastor
who does not carry distinctly in his
head, and particularly in his heart, this
cellular structure Of his congregation
and does not feel that the significance
Of his congregation depends not on the
number Of its individuals, but on the
number Of its families. Rev. C.. II.

RADIO has been created all through the
north. The hard times, partial failure
OF crops and other causes led many peo-
pie to think that a living at least can be
more easily made in the south and that
the rigors of climate may be avoided.
One of the great colonization schemes
originated in Indianapolis and was
worked upon as a soldiers's colonization
project. Branches of this proposed
COLONY were organized all over the north
west, and now 1t is announced that 2OO,-
600 acres Of and have been purchased in
Georgia at 50 an acre and on this tract
will be located the 10000 ~colonists who
want southern homes. 1t is to be a mu-
tual, cooperative colony, with shares
Of stock held by members and land to be
distributed by lot. There is to be acity
in the center and a portion Of the land is
to be held for speculation for the benefit
OF all. Another colony for Georgia is
made up IN Pennsylvania and an effort
is being made to secure for central Ala.

people. Still mother colonization
scheme Is headed for Arkansas, where
5000 farmers from the northwest are to
be located. This is colony which had
its origin in Redfield, this state. This
colony is to engage is farming and stock
raising, but it is not to be SO much OF a
cooperative colony g Of the others.
That this craze for the South will event
ually die off as a result OF unfavorable
experience in that effete climate and poor
soil is only a question Of time and any
q fairly we'll settled here had better sit
still and improve the gloriously opening
prospects OF prosperous times.
