ganizntiOn Look Bright.
MILWAUKEE,, April 4.-Johnston Living
ston, representing the general second mort
gage bondholders OF the Northern Pacific
has filed an amended answer in the United
States court admitting all of the allegations
Of the complaint filed originally by the Farm
ers Loan and Trust company. This act
shows that almost every obstacle In the way
of the reorganization plan has been removed,
as the general second mortgage bondholders
were among those from whom trouble was
most feared. Mr.. Livingstons first answer
was filed on March and caused consterna-
tion among Northern Pacific security hold
ers because 1t claimed priority for the sec
ond mortgage bonds over not only the third
mortgage but the consolidated mortgage
debentures, and attacked the validity OF the
receivers certificates. These claims are now
abandoned.
All that now stands in the way Of
the reorganization plan is the objection
Of the third mortgage bondholders and the
claim of the Wisconsin Central company
that all the bonds Of the Northern Pacific
are void for neglect in complying with the
terms of the charter in the Issuance.

MRS. I. w. Finner, of Duluth. Mimi, and
the boy was her son. who for years had

than the one Mrs. Finner is able to relate.
Eight years ago she was the wife of a Mr.
Ludwig, who at that time died at the fam

She moved TO Sioux City. where she had
relatives who were able 10 for her but
who cast her out. Under her terrible affiic-
ton her mind gave way and she was sent
to the insane asylum. while the children
were placed in the county poorhouSe and
later scattered over the country as they
families. In course of time Mrs. Ludwig
recovered her mind and moved to Chicago.
where during the worlds fair she conducted
n restaurant and made q great deal of
money. While engaged in this business she
met Mr.. Finner. her present husband. and
the two have kept up continuous search
for the missing children from the date of
to-do and readily spent his money in the
search. So far three of the five children
have been recovered, the last being the boy
at Brakeman, and when Mrs. Finner left
that place 1t was to proceed to Missouri
town where she believed she would find
trace of one of her daughters. One boy she
found with farmer near Leigh, Neb., and
in Illinois. The Brakeman boy had been
with a family there for the entire eight
wears and they were 10th to give him up,
but the mothers tears prevailed.

It teaches: This first: God in the begin

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. They did not discuss per-
sonality; they did not deal with abstrac-
tons. But to them God was no natural
FORCE; He was no mere power Throughout
the book of Genesis He is revealed a God
who commands and expects to be obeyed;
God who has will; God who cares for
men and protects them; n God who is a
father; God who loves His children and
wants their love in turn. This is the God
whose story is written in Genesis. More
than dramatic illustration of Adam and
the epic or poetic interpretation of Jehovah
himself. This God commands men, pun
ishes them when they dsobey. rewards
them when they. are virtuous; when He
finds them in darkness. as He found Abra-
ham, calls him out of the darkness that
He may illumine him and lead him into

cares for him and makes a son out of him:
watches at Joseph's side. leads him for

Joseph, the foundation Of future empire.

lesson, for which these legends were writ
