TIE pAWa OF a HEW nay.


An hail abe dawn Of a new day breaking,
When a strong-armed nation shall take away
The weary burden from backs that are aching
With maximum work and minimum pay.
Whennoma is honored who boards millions,
When no man feasts on anOthers toll,
and Gods poor, suffering, starving billions
Shall share MS riches Of sun and soil.
There is gold for all in the worlds broad bosom,
There is food for all in the world great storei
Enough Is provided If rightly divided;
Let each man take what he needs-no more
Shame on the miser with unused riches,
Who Fobs from the toiisr to swell his hoard;
Who beats down the wages Of diggers Of bitches,
And steals the bread from the poor man board.
Shame on the owner of mines whose cruel
And selfish measures have brought him wealth,
While the ragged wretches who dig his fuel
Are robbed of comfort and hopes and health.
Shame on the ruler who rides in his carriage,
Bought by the labor of hahpaid men
Men who are shut out Of home and marriage
And are herded like sheep in hovel pen.
Let the clarion voice of the nation wake him
To broader vision and faiTer play,
Or let the hand of just law shake him
Till his ill-gained dollars shall roll away.
Let no man dwell under mountain of plumber,
Let no man suffer with want and cold,
We want right living-not mere alms-givlHg-
We want just dividing Of labor and gold.

could be plainly seen, and some claim
ed they could see the outline Of Pixies
peak in the far away distance. as this
county is the highest point in Kansas,
being nearly 1900 feet above sea level,
and that the peak, 1856 miles west, rises
to an altitude Of 1900 feet, it is within
the bounds Of possibility that the hazy
outline visible in the west was indeed
Pixies peak. On the north, the big d.
vide, stretching away to the breaks of
the Republican river, lay like an open
book. The most curious phenomena,
however, was of a local nature, and two
instances will serve for the many SINH
lar ones. The Boyd place, northeast Of
town three miles, lies in the Ssppa bot

THE CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH

or GOOdiand sends Directing Its Fri. ud6
and is Rel "a Make Public IN FOl-
lowing tatrnunt.
Our losses have been great. both in
numbers and in the Christian charact-
er and efficiency of those who have gone
from US. The year has been a difficult
one in which to draw mems minds to
religious things. For the last two years
public attention has been conferred up.
on GFopfailuFes, hard times and politics.
But In spite of tremendous odds, much
has been accomplished.
The church at its annual meeting
cleared the year out Of debt. The fin
aleial record of the GoOdland church
is without parallel in the experience
of the pastor. In the fall of 1894 the
church dismissed its pastor because
unable to pay his salary. At that time
there was a constantly increasing debt
for incidental expenses. A debt vas
also resting upon the church bnilding
At that time the Congregational Home
Missionary society offered to pay the
entire salary of a missionary who was
to visit the Goodland church regularly,
provided the church would pay his
travelling expenses. The church did
feel able to pledge even that and the
missionary agreed to come and give the
services, receiving such part Of his
travelling expenses as the church felt
able to give. This arrangement was
tried as an experiment for ten months.
At the close of the ten months the
church asked the Home Missionary
society to give them one-half Of the
missiOnary's time and made liberal
pledges toward his support This ar
rangement was made for one year.
Last August the church asked for the
whole time Of the missionary snd
doubled their pledges toward his salary.
These pledges have been strictly kept,
being paid at the close OF each month
in cash. In addition to this the Incl.
dental debt has been paid and also the
debt upon the church building, besides
keeping up current expenses and max
ing no appreciabIs dimunition il bene-
violent contributions. All this time
crops kept failing aud times kept get
ting harder and harder, snd people
kept moving away and the people that
stayed kept getting blusr sud bluer IN
til in comparison indigo itself Was &
cheerful color, but the Goodland church
kept on paying its debts aud increasing
its contributions, until the church nov
stands free from all Indebtedness. Il

left that in two years the church va:

1t is often a source of wonder to the
curious what the meaning of the word
"Ssppa" is. As the stream which bears
that name has its rise in Sherman
county, an explanation may be of in
terest. "Sappa" is a Sioux word, and
means the earth that is used as war
paint. Along this stream the Sioux
and Cheyenne warriors obtained the
pigments with which they painted their
faces preparatory to saIlying forth in
quest of honOrs and scalps. It is a curl
GUS fact that the Cheyennes did not kill
human being in their raid across
Kansas and Nebraska-fFom Fort Reno
I. T., to the old Red Cloud agency, in
Nebraska-in 1878, except in self de-
Tense, until they reached the Sappa.
There they painted their faces and
their raid north was one of murder, in
cendiarism, pillage and rapine.
