Care of Mrs. Schmidt Decided by
the Board of Corrections.

The controversy over the legal
residence of Mrs. Ella Schmidt, nee
Bruning, which has been going on
between Redwood and Renville
county commissioners, and the town
authorities of Bangor, Pope county,
has been settled by the State board
of corrections and charities, which
holds that Mrs. Schmidt is a resi-
dent of Bangor, and that the town
must give her support. Mrs.
Schmidt is the mother of nine chill
dren, eight of whom have been TAX
en- charge by the State, and are now
in the public school for INDECENT
children at Owatonna, while the
ninth, an infant. is with Mrs.
Schmidt at Bangor, and that
town will also be called upon to
support the child as well as the
mother.
Mrs. Schmidt had only a passing
residence in Redwood county, and

on account of this the Renville coun-
ty commissioners contended that
she should be charge of Redwood
county, Notwithstanding the fact
that she afterwards resided and
was employed in Renville county.
The Redwood county commission
ers strongly opposed the conten-
ton of the Renville county commits
sioners, claiming that inasmuch as
she had been employed in Renville
county, and became the mother of
the ninth child there. that county
should be made to provide for her
and her brood This matter be-
came so strongly discussed by both
boards that the decision of the
board of corrections and charities
was asked for, and Secretary John
son met the representatives of both
boards, together with the attorneys
of both counties at Morton several
months ago, and took all Of the evil
dence oDtainable in the case, and as
a result Of the evidence it was found
that Mrs. Schmidt and her children
came to this section from Bangor,
Pope county, and when this evil
dence was laid before the board of
corrections and charities the latter
decided that Mrs. Schmidt must be
cared for by that town, which is
situated in county where the law
requiring each township to take
care of its own poor seems to be in
force
The commissioners of both Red
wood and Renville counties I'M
doubtedly feel greatly relieved over
the lifting of the responsibility of
the care of the woman and her in
FAINT child, as assistance will prob
ably be necessary for them for many
years to come.

 actual thoughts and opinions current in the age of Jesus among the Jews on this point were not clearly enough known
 In the marvellous yield which has fol- lowed Biblical criticism, nothing is more certainly attested than the current opinion in the age of Jesus among His people con- corning the future life. Their thought of the life to come was that of physical resurrection; a resurrection of the outer body of flesh and bones; resurrection taking place a long time after death, at the close of the dspensation, "the end of the world;" the graves then opening the bodies of the dead coming forth and the souls of the departed reuniting with those bodies of the new life. This was the ma terialized thought of this mystery in all ages and in all lands. This thought being in the minds of the disciples, if they were persuaded that Jesus was "ahve,," and that He "showed Himself'' to them 'rby fnfall- fble proofs' after his passion, inevitably their conviction must have run into this prepared mould, and the doctrine of the resurrection of Jesus must have come forth in the Christian consciousness as 1t did in the traditional interpretation of this belief to the church. For this reason, therefore I do not feel obliged to accept the thought of the early disciples con- elusive upon the point, although l believe that fact upon their testimony.
 Yet, again, it is argued that the Scripture records state that interpretation of the fact and that we are bound by the letter of the record. These records do certainly seem to state this thought, but I cannot see that they affirm it explicitly Turn to those rec ords. They are profoundly interesting Read them for yourselves. You cannot but be persuaded that this is what the disciples thought, but you will notice that their descriptions fail to demonstrate this interpretation of the fact which they a n reputetd to have seen him In the act of rising from the tomb, passing forth from the vault in the body of flesh and bones of his earthly life. The first disciple came to the tomb and found it empty. The link absolutely necessary for the demon-
The age-herald., 1900-04-09

to this question. It was the manifestation of Himself in what Paul called His "spir- itual body" The spirit passed out of the earthly tabernacle "into the house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens" !" In this spiritual body He manifested him self to His disciples.
 I do not affirm that this interpretatio tion of the resurrection of Jesus solves all the difficulties in the Scripture record or in our thought of this mystery. Those diff entities in the Scripture record are not to be completely solved. Amy interpretation of the resurrection of Jesus leaves more or less confusion in the narratives of this fact. Plainly, 1t was not the design of Providence to give us a thorough, harmon ious account of this august experience But the view which have suggested mimi mixes these difficulties in the records and thus aids our acceptance of the fact.
 Nor Is our thought of such a transcen- dent mystery to be wholly cleared now. In our present stage of development 1t is per haps impossible to form a worthy concep- tion of life so much beyond our ken. "It doth not yet appear what we shall be- Until it doth appear we must be content with the most reasonable conception which we can form of hat nobler life. And such seems to me to be this thought which l have suggested.

LAND BILLS
Many Have Been Referred to the Gen
 eral Land Office

Washington April S.-Several bills which have been introduced in congress have been referred to Commissioner Herman, of the general land office, for his judgment as to their merits. One of these provides that exclusive leases for mining purposes may be granted to lands within the terri tory of the United States which lie below high water mark. It is proposed to grant exclusive leases upon condition that a bond of five thousand dollars be given to ensure proper fulfillment of the agreement. Com- missioner Herman reports adversely on this bill for the reason that while Cape Nome is not specifically mentioned in 1t, the evident intent is to make 1t apply there. It is held to be contrary to the poli- cy of the United States government to grant exclusive leases of this character to gold fields and the proviso in regard to a five thousand dollar bond would operate to exclude poor miners from securing grants. Another bill upon which adverse report is made provides for leasing public lands in the arid regions for grazing pur- poses

years. I remember, when young man, I argued with my venerable father on this point. He held the .raditi9nal Thought upon rhls subject. said to hini: Father, if Jesus rose from the sepulchre in the outer and fleshly body in which He lived on the earth, did He ascend into the higher realms in that same body? He answered, "No." "Then," I replied, "ere He ascended a second change was wrought by which He passed out of the physical into a spiritual fbody?" To which my father said Yes" I felt at the time of this conversation, as l feel now, that such a view necessitates two marvels where one is sufficient. Why should we burden faith with d repuduplicate mys- tery?
 This I hold to be vital to the faith of the Church: That we believe the story of the resurrection to be the record of an actual fact; that the Church was not under an halucination when it believed that "He showed Himself alive to them after His passion by many infalHble proofs."
 What, then, was the resurrection of Je- sus? You will have anticipated my answer
