The Honor of the Church.
BY W. G. CALDERwooD.

The question which confronts the
church is not the temperance question.
It is the same old, old question which
confronted Moses in the wilderness,
which vexed Elijah, and which gave
jeremiah the blues, namely, will the
church be true to the church," The
heresy that haunts us is not lack of
faith in the Bible. but lack of faith
fulness to it. The atheism of Vol
taire, the skepticism of Paine, and the
agnosticism of Ingersoll are all harm
less to faithful church. But infidel
ity of the church to her Bible and to
her God is death. Christ met the
same question, for he said, "The scribes
and pharisees sit in Moses seat; what
soever therefore they bid you observe,
that observe and do, but do
not We after their works, for
they say and do not" and this day
is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
The bishops and dignitaries sit in
Moses seat. Whatsoever they bid you
observe-among other things, "No
political party ought to expect, nor
should it receive the votes Of Christian
men so long as it stands committed to
the license policy or refuses to put it
self on record in an attitude of open
hostility to the Oon,"-that observe
and do, but do not after their works,
for they say and do not. And there
in lies the crime of the church and the
danger of it.

There is little need to stir up public in

those of the Spies, Parsons and Schwab
Sort Citizens and officials seem to be fully
aroused to suppress anarchy of the bomb
shell variety by every possible means.
But against gang a thousand times
worse in it's murderous and destructive ac-

goes up, Crush the anarchists y But why
so little against the immeasurably greater
evil? Is it because Of the paltry, accursed
fee, the portion Of the plumber handed
over to salve the citizens conscience? 1t
seems unreasonable to believe it when it is
so well known, or should be, that the in
fernal system costs far more than the dirty
revenues derived from it. What then? Do
people really love it? 1 believe there is
nothing better hated in America today than
the saloon.
There is craven cowardice about it.

FORTY MILLION DOLLARS.

Eastern Syndicate.
The report of the projected sale by
the Northern Pacific of all it's unused
lands in Montana and other western
states to large syndicate of eastern
men. is confirmed from a semi-of1icial
source. and regarded as quite prob.
able, by Northern Pacific officials in
Helena:
'The policy of the Northern Pacific
has, since it built through this coun-
try. been to sell the lands as rapidly
as possible to settle up the country
and thus assure large freight ton.
mage for the future" said Karl Sim.
mons. land agent for the Northern Pa.
cific in Montana
ut is not unlikely that President
Mellen believes that the lands could
be sold to good advantage and with
as good ultimate results in the way
of settlement as if the road continued
it's present system.
IF the vast acreage owned by the
company in this state could be dis
posed of at one deal it would really
be an advantage. The parties who
are reported to be negotiating for
the purchase of the Northern Pacific
land are undoubtedly considering the
proposition with view to re-selling
in large blocks to land companies. The
land being sold in parcels by a syndi-
cate organized for that express pur-
pose would probably result in more
rapid progress in settling the lands,
than if the ordinary machinery of the
road was directed toward the same
end.
Much of the Northern Pacific land
east of the Missouri river has al
ready been sold by the road, and in
Minnesota within the past year or
two all the pine lands along a certain
branch of the road was sold, aggre.
eating more than 100000 acres. 1t
has been less than three years since
half dozen very large companies
were organized to handle Minnesota
and Dakota agricultural lands, buying
outright in large tracts the acreage
from the railroad company. 1t is not
at all unlikely that the same policy
may be pursued regarding the dispo
sitiOn of the western lands or those
lands that lay west of the Missouri
river.
1T has been the policy of the North
ern Pacific road from the first to sci
its lands. whether to settlers or ranch
ers. 1t was desirable to put people in
the country who would produce some
| thing that the road might haul. ]

The last report of the land com

shows that the road owns in Montan,

as all the other states put together
