If Fraternities Should Fraternize

into one common fraternity, and the
Sisterhoods should combine into one
common sisterhood, and then these two
composits after due courtship should
wed, and write on their wedding cards
casually at Home Evenings" what a
grand insurance it would be for many
happy homes. The world recognising
a common brotherhood, would learn
war no more. If a small combine is
good, why not let the tree grow to fill
the whole earth? If small fraternity
is good, why should not a universal fra
ternity be so much the better? To put
the different focks into one field might
be hard on secrets, but it would save
very much on fencing and herding.

A $4,000 BUILDING.
Proposed New Home for the Presbyterian
Society of Brookings
A Project Worthy of the Assistance of Every
Enterprising Citizen.

As the REG GTsTER has the plans be-
fore it, brief description will be at
tempted in order that our readers may
form something of an idea of the ar
rangement and convenience of the
editiCe in the absence of q picture
The building will have frontage of
Of about eighty feet on two streets,
Williams street and Dakota avenue.
1t will be built of brick and stone with
square battlemented tower at the
same corner which the steeple of the
present structure now occupies.
There will be two other towers,
though not 80 high, tianking the
building to the right aud left, making
an imposing appearance on both
streets. A basement has been pro-
vided in which will be located the
heating apparatus, kitchen, dining
room and young mems parlor. The
first floor will contain the auditorium,
lecture room, Christian Endeavor
room, parlor, library and four class
rooms, while the balcony floor is pro,
vided with three galleries.
The seating capacity of the auditor,
ium will be about 400. This can be
augmented by the use of the galleries
and by throwing open the lecture
and class rooms when occasion de.
mands it, and it is estimated that
with these auxlaries seating capa.
city can be had for about 800 people.
The whole building is we'll arranged
and well adapted to meet the wants
and needs of this growing congrega,
tiOn. There is no question about a
new and more commodious church
building being needed, and the REG
IsTER trusts that everyone interested
will see the Importance of putting
their shoulder to the wheel and aiding
in its progress.

Among the very substantial i'm
provements to be inaugurated in this
city, commencing as soon as the
weather is propitious for building op-
erations, will be the erection of new
Presbyterian church .edifice on the
site now occupied by the present
structure.
At congregational meeting held
last week Wednesday evening, the
plans for such a building were SUBJ
mitted by committee appointed for
the purpose. A picture Of the church,
as it would appear when finished, AS
we'll as the detail Of the basement,
ground floor and galleries were shown
and the matter discussed by those
present. 1t was decided to accept the
report of the committee and the work
Of taking subscriptions has already
commenced with most satisfactory
results. The REGISTER is informed
that over so per cent of the amount
needed has already been subscribed.
The building will cost SIC, 900, which
includes glazing, heating and seating,
and from the picture which we have
at hand, will be an ornament to the
enterprising city in which it will be
erected, as we'll as furnishing much
needed room, not only for the present,
but for a great many years to come.
All property holders will feel an in
terest in this project, as they should,
for every building of this character
attracts the attention Of people who
are looking for desirable place to To-
cate. A substantial and ornamental
public building attracts attention
anywhere, and each one added to what
we already have will not only prove a
drawing card, but enhances the value
of every piece Of property owned with
in the confines Of Brookings city.

some portion of the stock, the result
would be, as nearly as l can understand
the present idea of socialism. The
peculiar evil of monopolies consists in
limiting a good principle to favored
few, and therefore multiplied combine
sets every man against his neighbor.
The union of half the world against
the other half might be worse than no
union, just as half the truth is worse
than whole lie. But the whole world
combined for the benift of each and
everyone would be as helpful to all as
the numerous small compacts are nec-
cessarily hurtful to all.

Text for Sabbath School, March IL,
Mark 2:1-l2. In the ninth verse the
question whether it is easier" sug-
gests plain answer to many objections
Is it harder for infinite power and
knowledge to make the sun and moon
stand still, than to make, for instance
a violet grow out of the earth? Is it
impossible for the finite power to COM
prehend the Infinite, and the feeblest
comprehension of infinite power seems
most comforting to unbelief. But
faith says There is nothing too hard
for Thee" Jer. 22:l7.
c. E. text, Mark 22I-9, suggests two
questions. 1st to whom do the king
doms of the world pay tribute? I'd to
whom do the churches pay tribute?
Beyond all shadow of doubt the world
pays greatest tributes to the greatest
means of destruction. The churches
have not, at least, been equally suicidal
and the church which pays the higest
tribute to God stands first in divine IA
vor.- Both the individual and the ma
ton which refuses to pay tribute to
God is fighting loOsing battle.
