EPWORTH LEAGUE.
Lesson For the Week Beginning March ..
Comment by Rev. w. J. Yates, A. n.
Topic, The Call to the Work.

SCRIPTURE READISG.-Isa. vi. l-l0
Calamities hang over the nation.
Dread is in every heart and fear is writ
ten Oh every face The king and his
army are powerless to deliver. The
counselors have no plans which promise
safety.
No one sees more clearly than the
prophet the fearful extent of the evil.
How striking the language used! The
evening shall come swiftly-no weari-
ness, no stumbling, none shall sleep
among them. Their arrows are sharp,
their bones bent, their horses hoofs like
flint, their wheels like the whirlwind.
They roar like lions and lay hold OF the
prey. The sound is like the roaring OF
the sea.
Another sight comes to Isaiah, unseen
by the people He discerns behind all
these earthly scenes the Lord God sit
ting ON a lofty throne and directing.
controlling all. Others see only men
and their fury. He knows that God
lives and reigns The angels OF power
and wisdom stand above the throne and
cry: "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord OF
Hosts! His glory is the fullness OF the
whole earth. "
The Lord calls for some one to go to
men and carry the message OF divine
warning.
The prophet has seen the temple filled
with the divine glory and shaking the
very gates of the house with awe at His
power and majesty. In utter confusion
and shame of soul he recognizes his own
uncleanness of nature and cries out IN
self adherence.
A strong angel bears in his hand a
coal from the altar, and, touching the
prophets lips cleanses him from in
iquity. Then in exaltation of spirit the
prophet cries, "Behold me, send me-"
The commission comes from the throne
to go and proclaim the truth to the
people. Coupled with it is an assurance
which might we'll daunt any heart not
fred by divine love and zeal. The peo-
pie shall blind themselves and turn deaf
ears to the warning. A gracious prom
Use, however, is coupled with this-that
after all the desolations and destruction
remnant shall be left, and as tree
after the winter is past buds and bears,
30 shall these display the glory OF God
and inherit all goodness.
This lesson is taken as a symbol OF
the call to spread the tidings of saliva
tion to all men. The topic for this
month is missions. Isaiah was IN truth
the Old Testament preacher of righteous
ness and true type of the modern mis-
sionary of Jesus Christ.

counters to choose from. My impression
is that the hammock and cable cords
will DO the favorites just because they

The World Parish.

II was John Wesley who used the ex-
preston. "Ghe world is my parish. F" in
recognitionef his duty and desire to
make all men everywhere acquainted
with the gospel offers of salvation. 1t
would be great mistake to imagine
that all missionary enterprise and heroic
endeavor are the birth of this century.
But il is fact that the most effective
service and greatest triumphs OF mis-
sions have been witnessed during the
past 100 years. Each century since the
birth of Christ has been marked by
some peculiar work in the Christian
church. All has been important and all
a necessary preparation for that which
was and is to follow. This century has
been. above all others, the one when the
worldwide preaching OF the gospel has
been ACCOMPLISHED as never in all the
preceding ages.
The gradually widening comprehen-
sion of the church as to her duty to
evangelize the world, her preparation
for this service and the practical begin
ming of the work are all of recent date,
and the story is one of ever fascinating
interest. There is no denomination OF
Christians at the present day that can
hold its own people, especially the
younger portion of its membership, I'M
less it shows its vital power by mission
ary effort. As never before, the whole
church is listening to the command,
go We into all the world and preach
the gospel"

More Light.

Convinced that one Of the needs OF
the present time is more information on
the condition and progress of mission
work, the missionary secretaries are
planning to issue libraries of books on
these topics and to publish them at
such rates as will place them within
reach of ali churches. great or small,
rich or poor. 1t is also hoped to enlist
the interest of the young people and in
duce the League to give attention to the
study of our work and its needs. Here
is good work for our literary depart
ment to take up.

INTERCHANGE OF BUSINESS,
VANTAGE TO EITHER TO
DO SO.
MISSOURI CAUSES TROUT
Several of the Branches of the
Roads Are Under Water-Trains
to the Coast

The hand Of nature has dealt hard
blow to the transcontinental roads
during the past few days, especially to
the Northern Pacific. Yesterday the
flood situation along the latter system
was reported as being very serious.
At Fargo the river was said to be ris-
ing. The Missouri river is on the up
ward trend, and Thursday nights
overland train from ST. Paul, which
reached Mandan, was compelled to re-
turn to Fargo with it's complement of
passengers. The hotels Of Fargo are
said to be full of people who cannot
get out.
The Northern Pacific yesterday
turned a large share of it's business
over to the Great Northern. A second
section of the regular overland train
on the Great Northern left st. Paul
at o'clock yesterday afternoon for
the coast. AT Fargo the train will pick
up about 125 passengers who were
stalled there and carry them through
to the coast for the Northern Pacific.
The roads are intercnanging business
wherever 1t is of mutual advantage
to either company. Several of the
branch lines of the Great Northern
are under water. 1t is hoped by the
officials of both roads that the water
will recede, reports to that effect hav-
ing been received yesterday.

SAME AS THE FIRST TRIAL.
Nothing New in the Lind Libel
Suit,

John Lind took the stand in his own
behalf yesterday forenoon, in the trial
of his libel suit against the Dispatch.
He swore that he was not. an atheist
and that he had not, as charged by the
defendant newspaper, given utterance
to athelStic views or sought in any
manner to place the New Ulm public
schools under atheistic control for the
purpose Of securing the teaching of
such doctrines to the pupils. Mr.. Lind
admitted that he was member Of the
turner's society,", but denied that that
society was an association of athe-
lists. In the afternoon Mr.. Lind re-
Sumed the stand and at the conclusion
of his testimony the plaintiff rested.
Mr.. Mum opened the case for the de-
Tense, and then called H. e.. Hayes, of
the Sleepy Eye Dispatch, as the first
witness. Mr.. Hayes testified that Mr..
Lind had the reputation Of being e.
non-believer.
DR.. 0. c. Stricken, who was a mem

JURY ACQUITs WELDEN.
Little Made@by Digging Up an Old


Charles Weldon, whose trial under an
Indictment charging him with burglary
in the second degree occupied the at
tention of Judge Lewis and jury yes
terday, was acquitted in short order.
The case possessed some unusual fea-
lures.
TIE crime with which Weldon was
charged was committed year ago
last December, when a man entered
the dwelling of Clinton Colledge, at 337
Minnetonka street, in the night time
and stole $14 in money and some other
trifies. Weldon was arrested soon after
and was indicted the following Feb
ruary, on the charge of burglary in
the second degree. But upon further
investigation of the case County AttOr-
ney Butler concluded to enter nolle
prosequi, being satisfied that there was
not sufficient evidence to convict Wei
den of the crime. Three relatives of
the young man were ready to swear
that Weldon was at his home all that
night upon which the crime was COM
mitted, so the case was dropped.
Recently it was taken up again, on
the ground of newly discovered evil
dence The three relatives of young
Weldon had experienced a change OF
mind as evidenced later on in the trial.
Consequently Weldon was reindicted,
and this time he was tried. ----
The testimony of his three relatives
was to the effect that Weldon had con-
fessed to them that he was the guilty
man. Welden'S counsel, M. j. Costello,
did not object to the introduction Of
their testimony but after it was all in,
he moved to strike it out. Judge Lewis
granted the motion, and the prosecu-
ton was left without a leg to*stand
upon.

EMIGRANT RATES,
Western Roads Fear They May Be-

CHICAGO, April 9.-The Western roads are
expecting trouble over their imm, grant rates.
The supreme court decision has knocked out
the immigrant clearing house as a controller
OF rates, although the roads have been ad-
Vised that 1t can be kept in effect as a
solicitor of business. There has always been
much trouble over this class of business and
latterly the roads of the Western Passenger
association have been having great trouble
with the Southern Pacific, which, they de-
clared, was paying commissions too high
Tor the provisions Of the agreement There
is now very little hope that the Western
roads will be able to induce the Southern
Pacific to lower its commission rates and the
Union Pacific and one or two other roads
are becoming FESTIVE under the situation
All OF the roads are looking for demoraliza-
ton in the immigrant business within the
near future and they no means of avoiding
