minneapolis, Mimi, May p. sun.
day observance was the question
which took the major part Of the. Pres
byterian assembly'sT time yesterday.
Mostsof the long afternoon session was
devoted to earnest and often excited
discussion of the report Of the special
committee on Sabbath observance. In
the end the committees eight resolu-
tions were adopted with slight amend
ments and two more were added. In
the discussion the Sunday street car,
the Sunday train and railroad excur-
sion, the Sunday newspaper, the Sum
day-working Presbyterian and every
: form of activity. which is not in har-.
mony with the literal meaning of the
fourth commandment was condemned.
Those who desired a sensation had to
get along with this talk and the indig-
nant comments which were made
when another special committee re-
ported that it had not been able to
keep congress and the president from
granting the Roman Catholics permits
sion to erect a chapel on the West
Point military academy reservation.
In the debate which followed nearly
every speaker gave evidence of being
imbued with the feeling expressed in
the words OF the committee: 1.-THE
American Christian Sabbath is in Inn
minent peril; in fact, in many Of our,
large cities and in other parts of our
land it is already nearly lost. This
means that American liberty and
American institutions are in peril, for
of these the American Sabbath has
been both the foundation and the pro-
lection"
St. Louis. Cincinnati, Topeka. Kan,
San Antonio, Tex, and Winona Lake,
Ind, are the places that are DESTROYS
of having the next assembly, but it is
understood that st. Louis will with
draw because it wishes to have the
convention in 1908, when the louisiana
Purchase centennial is to be celebrat-
ed.

Good Substitute for Irrigation.

Pierre. s. D., May 21.--One farmer
in the Hills country. who tried it, says
the best way to assure supply of
moisture on a field is to hold the snow
there in the winter To do this he has
prepared a long string of movable
snow fence. which he locates in Sec
tons over the field where it will hold
the largest amount of snow drifts, and
by this means has been able to secure
crops on land which had been flooded
by SNOW when fields adjoining were
complete failures on account of the
drouth.

r. is not infreouently supposed tina,

1t is not infrequently supposed that
men who are severe, judicial, and crit
ical are the intellectual superiors Of
others who are lenient, kindly and
charitable. The latter are beloved, it
is true, but the former are feared and
respected as having higher standard,
and perhaps more strength of mind
and force of character. Yet it is safe
to say that in the generality Of cases
the exact opposite of this is the truth.
1t requires very little knowledge and
very little intelligence to find fault.
