ENOUGH TO PASS MUSTER
REV. NJ. d. EDWARDS breaches
ON seEHE MINIMUM CHRISTIAN"

seThe Minimum Christian was the sub
iect selected yesterday morning by Rev.
M. D. Edwards of the Dayton Avenue
Presbyterian church for powerful SER
mon A portion of his remarks bearing
on the practical side Of life were as fol-
lows:
1.-THE expression minimum Christian, -
expresses 1 think their position. Not the
most that can be done in the way OF serv-
ing God, but the least that will prevent
being cast off. Not the full measure,
heaped and running over, but just enough
to barely fill it.
1--WE all know how few berries 1t takes
to fill measure when they are deity
put in. When one gets this idea of serv-
ing God, to God is given the least that
will pass muster; it IS astonishing how
little it takes to fill the measure of such
a Christians idea Of sufficiency. This
matter may be illustrated from school
life In every class there are boys and
girls who want to stand high. They are
ambitious and have true and proper
conception of their duty and opportunities
and therefore they endeaver to make the
most Of their course. Then there are
BOYS and girls who have no such ambi-
ton. or at least no desires for high
standing sufficiently strong to overcome
their inherent Discrimination to study, Or
to overcome the difficulties in the way Of
success. But they have just horror OF
not passing.
so, in the great school of life, the
minim I'm Christian is chiefly exercised
about the passing point. Above that
there are whole ranges of attainment and
achievement which command his admira-
ton and aspira ton, yet not to any great
extent, his endeavor. Now, in speaking
about minimum Christians, 1 am not
speaking of a spirit which is peculiar to
Christians. There is here displayed a

temper and habit that find illustration in
every department of life. Opportunity or
suggestion IS not enough, something like
a positive command is necessary to
arouse action and then it is quite certain
that nothing will be done beyond the
command. What is needed is the work
er, not the shirker; those who would
rather do more than is expected than less
than is demanded. Those who can see
and improve an opportunity.
80 In business there are minimum
clerks and employees. The greater COM
mandment with them is to do enough to
hold their positions. They are afraid Of
doing more than they are paid for, and
II little more than usual is asked of
them they feel oppressed and imposed
upon. Up to the point of doing their
daily task they do very well. but they
are careful not to go beyond that. So
the minimum clerk does his routine work
year in and year out, just as little as
he can and still get along, and then Won
ders that his salary is never increased.
He sees others advanced, and thinks
there is a great deal of favoritism in
such matters, and no doubt there often
is. After a while he gets soured and
says there is no chance for a man with
out a pull of some kind. In most cases
the maximum clerk who does all he can,
who is not working merely to hold down
his place but to advance his employers
interests, who is always preparing him
self for the next higher position, Is just
the man who has such pull.
''And so it is in every department of
life, in stores and banks, on farms and
in shops and in the trained professions
and callings. There are citizens who
have such low conceptions of the law
and their duty that they do not register
or vote. There are minimum husbands
and wives, and fathers and mothers, and
brothers and sisters, and friends and
neighbors. They are not wholly obIlvl-
Gus to duty but reduce duty to its low
est terms.
'cWhat this busy world needs Is max
imum workers in all phases of life, not
excessive workers who attempt to DO
too much and break down under the
strain but those who, to the fullest eN-
tent of their abilities and strength, en-
deavor to fill to the brim the measure
of their obligations and opportunities

who not from any such necessity, put
tacorso of their own shortcomings, are
inst hanging on to this matter OF chris
fan living and Christian faith Ihere

FOUND IN NICK O TINE
TWO FARGO MEN ALMOST AsPHYX-
lated AT THE GRAND CEN
TRIAL HOTEL
BoARDER HEARD THEM GRoAN
One of Them Had FOOIishIy Blown
Out the Gas and Both Were
Unconscious When
Found.

But for the timely appearance on the
scene Of w. A. Thompson, John p
Thompson and Frank johnson, both
claiming to hail from Fargo, N. D.,
would, without doubt, now be lying in the
county morgue dead, by being overcome
by gas in their room at the Grand Cen
trail hotel.
Thompson and Johnson registered at
the hotel Saturday night and went out
for while. Thompson returned early
and went to bed, and Johnson did not
come back until nearly three hours later
Without thinking, he blew out the gas
when he went to bed. w A. Thompson
is b0arder at the hotel and happened
to be sitting UP talking to the night
clerk. Suddenly he looked up at the
clock and, noticing that it was o'clock,
started for his room on the next floor
When he passed room No. 81, he heard
groans, and, calling the night clerk, John
Savage, they proceeded to investigate.
Savage knocked on the door several
times, but receiving no response, he
climbed in over the transon.' Once in
side, he soon discovered that the oc-
cupants of the room were under the in
iuence of gas and the police were noti-
fed. Assistant City Physician GilfHan
was notified and attended the men. When
found they were both unconscious, and
it was some time before they regained
consciousness.
They were taken into adjoining rooms,
and by last evening they had recovered
sufficiently to be able to go to Mime
apolis, where they stayed last night.
