ings will be devoted to business and the
afternoons and evenings to pleasure.
This afternoon the Minnesota delegates
have arranged trolly ride for the Wis.
itors, showing them Minneapolis and
ST. Paul. There will be no session
Thursday, the delegates spending the en-
tire day at Lake Minnetonka.
Yesterday afternoon the parlor floor OF
the Windsor was given over entirely to
the deaf muteS who gathered in con-
genial little groups, talking to old friends
or making new ones. In secluded
corner or on the stairway a lad and
laSsie mibht be seen cOnverSing blithly
together convincing one that the old,
old story does not necessarily have to be
spoken. Here group of gentlemen
were geSticulating their opinion of the
late war, or the government, perhaps.
There, gathering of matronS were
nimbly imparting recipes, no doubt, or
exchanging housekeeping experiences
That jokes, and clever jokes, too, were
often cracked, was plainly evidenced by
the merry glances exchanged among the
members of the various groups. Many
of the members can talk, their speech
being marred only by a slurring of the
syllables and a rapid utterance. Though
the majority communicate with one an,
other by spelling on the fingers a great
number use the sign language gesture
expressing a sentence. In this way. of
course, they communicate their thoughts
much quicker than they could by spoken
language.
ONE COLORED DELEGATE.
Miss Blanche Wilkins, of Alabama, a
graduate of Faribault, is the only col
ored delegate. Miss Wilkins has taught
in various schools for the deaf in Ala
bama, and is considered a very bright
and capable teacher.
The executive committee met in the
afternoon. 1t will present its report to
the convention either today Or Friday.
Mr.. w. r. Hutchinson, of Alabama, in
ventor of the ''akouIallion," an fnstru-
ment to enable the deaf to hear, made a
number of interesting experiments with
his invention during the afternoon. A
band with plates, to be fastened over the
ears, is placed about the deaf mute S
head. By means of a tube. this arrange
ment communicates with battery and
switchboard. The latter regulates the
intensity of the sound communicated by
means of the electricity.
INFORMAL RECEPTION.
An informal reception was held last
evening in the parlors of the Windsor.
Pretty frocks and fragrant flowers were
in evidence. The affair was delightfully."-
informal, there being no set reception
committee, but everybody saw that
everybody else had a good time. At 10
clock the guests sat down to an elab-
crate banquet. Four large tables were
arranged in the form of a 'NW'' in the
ordinary Of the hotel and the feast was
frightened by centerpieces of cut flow
ers etched out with palms and ferns.
Short after-dinner speeches were rapidly
communicated by means of the fingers,
and though the banquet was noiSeleSs
one it was nevertheless a jolly one.

q. w. Peet's favorite driving horse took
a short cut down town yesterday, racing
furtously down the Selby avenue hill No

the animal swerved toward the brow Of
the hill and galloped down the steep
grade. There were no cars on the hill, SO
the horse had a clear track. At the foot
or the hill the runaway was stopped by
Arthur Keller, driver for Haas Bros,

Christian Education.

"Knowledge is power" in every
sense Of the term, and the man or the
race that has knowledge stands for pow
er, and every man and every race knows
it. And this association, working
through education, is working at the
very center and heart Of the whole busi-
ness. It is Christian education. Why
Because all pioneer education must be
Christian education. Our great founda-
tions on which we have built, lying
back in the eighteenth century, were
Christian foundations. We are able now
to build in diversified ways. There is a
separation to a certain extent going on
between church and school like that
which went on between church and
state. Our great universities stand for
learning primarily, as our state stands
for freedom and Justice, and back Of it
all in those early days stands the foun-
dation Of Christian education. 1t is
Christian education that is the pioneer,
and no race can get under headway by
any other motive whatever. You can't
cram knowledge enough into the negro
race to give it headway unless you
touch its conscience and inform its
heart. You can't inspire any race to go
on its large, helpful mission until you
have filed that race, not only with an
ardor Of knowledge, but with the pas
sion Of great conservation. President
Tucker of Dartmouth College.

Anybody can emigrate from Germany
before he is II years old without run

Of being forced to join the army, but be
will be allowed to remain only nine
months in Germany. If he stays longer
he becomes again German citizen and
must do military service. If he leaves
when he has been little less than nine
months in the country and stays away
for two or three weeks he can return
without running any danger and can
stay another nine months. If he does
this every nine months he can live as

As soon as man is II years old he

20 years old if somebody is willing to
give bond that he will return and serve
his term.
In case man forfeits his bond he
cannot return to his fatherland before
he is 45 years old, as he would be

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVoR.

Topic For the Week Beginning April
9-Comment by Rev. $. H. Doyle.
ToP1c.-The holy garments.-Eph. iv, 1921;
Rom. Vi, T.
The change that takes place in the
life of one who becomes Christian is
described by Paul in the first topical
reference as the putting off Of the old
man, the old life, as one puts off a gar
ment, and the putting on of the new
man, the new life, as one puts on q
new garment. The garments of the new
life are the holy garments. The change
of life is therefore described as if it
were the taking off of old garments
which are ragged, shabby and dirty,
and the putting on Of new garments
which are clean ard tidy. The rags of
the old man are given up for the robes
of the new. Filthy garments are ex-
changed for holy garments.
Before the holy garments can be put
on two important changes must take
place. 1. The inward man must be re-
newed. We must be renewed in the
spirit Of our mind. This is the work Of
the Holy Spirit, and our part in it is
to earnestly desire and fervently pray
for the Holy Spirit to renew our minds.
2. The filthy garments Of the old life
must be put off. Before the new can be
put on the old must be taken off. "Put
off, +" says Paul, ''the old man, which
is corrupt according to the deceitful
lusts, and put on the new man,
which, after God, is created in right
eousness and holiness.
These holy garments are the charac-
teristics of life which partake Of right
eousness and holiness. They are the ac-
tions Of life which are right toward our
fellow men and right toward God. They
are patterned after the moral character
of God Himself. They are the outward
proofs of an inward change of life. The
rags of the old man are further particu-
larized as falsehood, anger, dishonesty,
idleness, corrupt speech, bitterness, evil
speaking and malice. The holy garments
are the robes Of truthfulness, self con-
troll, honesty, industry, purity in speech,
good will, kindness and forgiveness.
The desirability Of the holy garments
should be evident to all Rags are dis
gushing to most men. To literally wear
rags for clothing is very unpleasant.
How much more disgusting and unpleas-
ant it should be to wear moral ragsl
Better to have on the robes Of righteous
ness and be clothed in plainness and
coarseness than to wear filthy moral
rags and be dressed in purple and fine
linen. Rags or robes, which will we
wear3 It should not take us long to de-
eide this question, if we are wise both
for time and eternity.
