Years ago visited New England fac,
tory village l went up to the door of a
factory, and l saw on the outside the
words, mo admittance." OF course
went in, and coming to the second door
saw the words, mo admittance. Getting
clear on into the factory saw they were
making pins, useful pins, and nothing but
pins. So l think there is sometimes an
exclusiveness among some OF the churches.
The outside world comes up and looks
at the door and there, is something which
seems to say, mo admittance," and the
world comes up to the pew door and sees
written over it, "No admittance," and
looks at the pulpit and there is something
there which seems to say No admit
tance," while we stand inside of the same
churches hammering out our little niceties
of religious belief, making pins.
Oh, for deeper appreciation of the senti-
ment of my text, "Other sheep l have
which are not of this fold"
I have to remark that the heavenly
Shepherd will find many sheep amid the
non.churchgoers. There are congregations
where there are all Christians, and they seem
TO be completely finished, and they remind
one of the skeleton leaves which by chem
ical preparation have had all the green
ness and verdure taken off them and are
left coIu and white and delicate, nothing
wanting but glass case to put over them.
The minister of Christ has nothing to do
with such Christians but to come once a
week and with ostrich feather dust off the
accumulation of the last six days, leaving
them bright and crystalline as before. But
the other kind of church is an armory,

that the mud had nearly dried up, when

had that longing fully and completely
gratified. From about half way between
BOzeman and Belgrade on west it has
been exceedingly dry all winter, and
many feared that the season would in
consequence be poor one for the far

dispelled, and the ranchmen of the Madi-

The county commissioners are about to

varied assortment of real estate. ranging
from cheap town lots to ranches of more

the lands belonging to the county is to
release the money now tied up in taxes
in the property, which standing on the
books makes reasonably good show
ing, but is not available for use in CASH
ing in the outstanding claims for which
the county is liable. The law in this
connection is pretty curious one, that
is, as to the part which makes it obliga-
tory for the counties to purchase prop
erty on which taxes are delinquent, al
ways provided that no one else wants
