THE CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR
EMPIRE.

-'~N ~A~AAs
There is no city in this Union where
the church and city are not kown. AS
DR.. Clark said this has been movement
of great conventions, and now the great
change from the first small convention
held at Williston church, to the great
Boston gathering with SO, 600 delegates,
and 1000 speakers. Only giants boast
of seven league boots and this is giant
indeed. Dr. Parkhurst said that it is
fun for boy to grow big, but work for
him to grow good, and no matter how
big or how good this Christian Endeavor
giant grows, we must not forget that Will
Iiston was his birthplace. and that Maine
is his family name. Every momber of
the society should hear the command
&C.," and should reply, ''Lord am
ready" The Lord loveth a cheerful
worker, and Ruskin well said that the
one man the Lord does not love, is one
who is lazy. Work, Gods work. and
work for God, is the best work we can
do. Men call two extremes life. The
life of the quiet pond that reflects, but
does nothing, and the life of the busy
brook that gathers strength as it goes
oceanward.
| We are to remember that goodness
means something besides the negative
| VAL OdOoy OidO ~ llO1uS WOTk, anu 0HOrt
and hard fighting against sin. Our faces
should be bright with the morning sun
of Gods love. A gifted French woman
said that religion is hymn, not bat
| tie. 1t is Doth, but the hymn is battle
hymn. This country is threatened with
new danger. Political corruption has
united with the rum power. and it NAV
be that we must take the oath with
which the Roman soldier pledged his
loyalty to his country: IF I cannot live
for my country, will die for it,
Rev. W.. S. Ayres made the closing
address, an impressive plea for greater
personal goodness, for a closer walk with
God, for a greater desire to initiate the
life of Christ
The charming singing OF Miss Kicker
was a special and greatly appreciated
feature of the service.
Rev. W. S. Ayres pronounced the
benediction.

Ed. Register-The farmers out here
have utilized the beautiful weather by
repairing fences, houses, barns, etc.
It is fact that more outdoor work
has been done in this section the pas,
winter than has been done for quite a
number of winters anterior to this.
Not much time has been squandered.
by people out here, by sitting around
in country stores, telling "yarns" or
by talking politics. People are learn
ing that the best way to make times
better, is to go to work. not waiting
for something to turn up, but to try to
turn something up. The great troub-
lie with many of US, is too much theo-
rizing and not enough actual exertion;
this rule is applicable not only to far
mers, but to most all professions.

Events OF the Coming Year.

The coming year will be period
memorable in the history of the world,
if but part of the plans of the United
States Government and European ma
tons is carried out. In the United
States there will will be the liveliest
presidential campaign ever held. and
the Fifty-fourth Congress, now in SEES
sion. will furnish exceedingly interest
ing debates on the tariff and financial
question until June. There will be
several exciting State elections and
many great political speeches. Every
one will watch with interest the pro-
gress of the Venezuelan Commissioners
inquiry. the results of the wars in Gu
ba, in South Africa, in Turkey. and
the outcome of other complications now
arising in the old World.
It is remarkable coincidence that
at the beginning of a year of such rich
metropolitan newspaper in the United
States-the ST. Louis Repu6lic-should
reduce its price to $500 year, or to
less than two cents day. This low
price now places the Republic within
the reach of everyone. Those who
wish to keep posted on politics, trade,
national and international affairs dur
ing 1896 should at once subscribe for
it on these easy terms, in addition to
taking their own local paper.
Newspaper readers who may think
they cannot afford to take a metropo-
Titan daily paper should at least sub
scribe for the Twice a-Week" Repaid
hc-104 papers a year-for only $1.0O
a year. 1t contains the best OF every
thing that appears in the daily.

From a letter written by Rev. j.

permitted to make this extract: 81

suits were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While was pastor of the

Ed. Register-From our little town
could not come more pleasant news
than a report of the Leap Year Ball
given by the A. o. q. w. Lodge at this
place on Feb. 18th. Abuot fifty cou-
pies assembled by nine O'Clock, and
the grand march was taken up. which
ended in nights enjoyment OF the
| light fantastic. At twelve O'Clock sup
per was announced, and the couples
retired to the second floor OF A. =. u.
w. building, and there enjoyed the
many delicacies that had so kindly
been supplied by the wives and daugn-
tiers of the membership. In fact. 1t
was truly, as intended, the grandest
occasion of the season. Forty at d
time were seated at supper. And mere
we cannot refrain from giving men
ton to Mrs. Geo. j. Goeltz. ST.. Mrs.
f. T. Stuart, Mrs. VIM. Devine. Mrs
Tobias Heck, Mrs. Savilla Dent, and
Mrs. Cynthia Nelson, for their kind
ness in caring for the supper as they
did. The following ladies and gentle
men from distance attended: Messrs

and Gunton, from Ironton; Mr.. and
Mrs. John Thomas and Miss Kate

port of De Soto.
During the supper hour very
handsome nut cake was voted to Miss
Lizzie Sandman of Bismarck, for being
the most popular young lady in the
room, with Misses Nellie Gherman,
Lena Heck and Julia Ryan, all good
seconds. Our genial young druggist,
VIM. FOWL, can explain why Jake
Lopez said 81 will ground arms" but
that does not explain the huge chunk
of cake that Will received the follow
ing day. Perhaps Miss Lizzie can ex-
plain.
Without exception, the ball was a
grand success in every way, and the
gay couples were yet dancing when
the dawn of another day was unfolding
the rays of light.
MIR. E. j. Heitzmann, who has for
ten years been operator and circuit
manager at this place. was transferred
to DE Soto, and promoted to the highly
responsible duties of Train Dispatcher.

genial, but we are proud of his pro-
motion.

promises prosperity to all the people: 1t
would be relieved to have its apprehen-
sions allayed and its misconceptions, If
they are misconceptions. corrected
he Democrats in vast numbers who
share this curiosity and these apprehen-
sions stand by what they believe to be
the historic policy of their party IN re-
gard to the currency. This policy was
declared in 1876 and reaffirmed in 1892
in these words:
We hold TO the use of both gold and
silver as the standard money Of the
country, and to the coinage of both gold
and silver without discriminating
against either metal or charge for mint
age. but the dollar unit of coinage of
and exchangeable value. or be adjusted
through international agreement or by
such safeguards of legislation as shall
insure the maintenance of the parity of
every dollar at all times in the markets
and in the payment of debt: and we de-
mand that all paper currency shall be
kent at par with and redeemable IN such
coin. We insist upon this policy as
especially necessary for the protection
of the farmers and laboring classes. the
first and most defenseless victims of I'M
stable money and a fiuctuating currency.
These Democrats still hold to the doc
trine of dollars of both money metals of
equal value, that the country may have
the benefit of a concurrent circulation OF
gold and silver. and paper redeemabie IN
the same. Why not give these Demo-
Gratis a chance to vote for you? Why
continue the alienation of large a
body of intelligent. honest and ocnsci-
entious voters? If you are ready fCr
national agreement, if it can be secured,
to effect a change without possibility Of
disaster at home. why not say so: 1ou
surely cannot object to an established
gold and silver money. Why refuse and
reject international agreement?
