LESSON THOUGHTS.
To gain the world for Christ, three
things are absolutely necessary: 1. A
sincere desire of the heart for the saliva
ton of the world. 2 Entire reliance
upon God and earnest prayer to him for
guidance and strength in this work; and
8. Consecrated activity in preaching
the Word and sending it abroad.
There can be no miserliness in Christi
anity; its unIailing characteristic is a
share with us the rich blessings it be-
slows.
SELECTIONS.
Few years, no wisdom, no renown,
Only my life can Law down.
Only my heart, Lord, to thy throne
l bring and pray
A child of thine may go forth,
And spread glad tidingS through the earth,
And teach sad hearts to know thy worth;
Lord, here am l."
1t must never be forgotten that the
strength of the Kingdom is not in num-
bers or in show, but in true hearts.
The kingdom of GOD is within, and its
growth throughout the world turns on
the faithfulness and zeal of each that be.
longs to it.
Like ripples on the water that start
from a centre and 60 on widening until
they reach the opposite shore, the circles
of the kingdom will 60 out from individ-
ual hearts, finally reaching the shores oil
eternity. And the earth shall be full
of the knowledge of the Lord as the
waters cover the sea-"
o church of Christ, behold at last
The promised sign appear
The gospel preached in all the world;
And 10 the King draws near.
With girded 1oins make haste, make haste,
Thy witness to complete.
That Christ may take his throne, and bring
All nations to his feet
SUGGESTED HYMNS.
"Jesus of Nazareth" o what a name
Pass along the invitation.
Stand up Stand up for Jesus.
The morning light is breaking.
Great Jehovah, mighty Lord.
Throw out the life line.

Murderer Then Attacked and seri-

and DISarmed

BLUE EATH, Mimi, June 15.-(Spe-
cial)-A sensational stabbing affair oc-
Cured at the little station Of Quicken,
six miles west Of this city, at 5:4 this
morning. A well dressed man about
forty-tive years of age walked into the
Porrier hotel and passed through into
the kitchen, where two of Mr.. Porrier's
daughters were. One Of the daughters
was working over the stove, preparing
breakfast. Walking UP behind her, he
stabbed her in the back, piercing the
lung, with surveyors spike He then
grabbed large carving knife and start
ed for the other girl. She ran out to-
ward the barn, where her father was
milking the COWS. Her screams brought
him to the door just as she entered
The father grappled with the murderer
and q desperate struggle ensued. The
stranger succeeded in stabbing Porter
IN about the same place he had struck
the daughter and cut him severely in
many places about the neck, face and
body. At last Porrier succeeded IN
wrestling the knife from the murderer,
when some campers appeared, who over
powered him and tied him with ropes
A telegram was sent to the sheriff, the
doctor and the priest Of this city. The
wounded girl was reported dying at last
accounts. Mr.. Porrier'S wounds, though
very dangerous, are not necessarily faial.
The murderer had in his possession a
check given to Charles Simon, signed by
Supt. Braden, Of the North Western rail-
way. He has worked on the section at this
place, but for the past week has been
hanging around the saloons in this city.
He has acted very queer, and some Of
the attendants say that at times they
were afraid Of their lives. When taken
he had tine broken from Ditchfork,
which was sharpened. He is evidently
crazy. He says he is in love with the
girl and that another fellow IS after her.

FARGO. N. D., June 15.-(special) -
Among the events next month is the
meeting of the Tri-state Drainage ass1-
citation This is composed of prominent
residents of the Dakotas and Minnesota
and the meeting will be from July Is to
is, in Fargo. The association was or
gained at White Rock, S. D., in SO, and
the other two annual meetings have been
at Grand Forks and Crookston The OBJ
feet is primarily to prevent the re1u,-
renee Of the annual floods in the Red
river valley, and secondarily, to render
the river naVigable.
The river derives most of its water from
Lake Traverse the Bots de Sioux, the
Otter Tail and the Red Lake rivers. Be-
ing farther south. the ice breaks up mech
earlier than at other points along the
Red river which runs north, and foods
are precipitated by ice jams about the
international boundary line which raise
the water and backs it up stream over
the fertile farms doing millions of dol
lars worth of damage each decade.
IT has been shown by resolutions adopt
ed at the other two meetings and by the
legislatures of the three states
interested that 100000 people live
in the valley and tributary coun-
try and that they have property
valued approximately at $1,000, CO0OCO
Twenty million acres of land in the val
ley are assessed for taxation purposes,
but it is annually threatened with dis
estrous floods, which not only entail large
property losses. but endanger lives both
by the floods and from the diseases re-
sulting therefrom. With proper drainage
and by the establishment of a system of
dams and locks and reservoirs all these
disasters could be prevented. The Tlan
woulH cost less than $1,000 coo, the amount
of damage estimated from the 97 food
alone. Once protected the valley would
furnish happy homes and subsistence for
100000 people.
Government engineers have made sur
veys and demonstrated the practicab:l:ty
of the plan. 1t is convincingly shown
that the reservoir system connecting
Lakes Traverse and Big Stone with Otter
Tail river will not only control the water
from which the Red river draws it's sup
ply and thereby prevent floods, but It
will also hold in storage the water, which
can be turned on al will to make the
Red river navigable, with the addition of
the proposed dams and locks.
Congressional representatives from the
three states will ask congress to make
the million-dollar appropriation and have
the work done under government super
vision.
