The ground is getting in shape to
commence seeding. A little seed
down, but to-day a number will be-
gin to seed in earnest; looks a little
like rain, but no one wants to see 1t
come as bad as they did last June.
The fields that are plowed are very
hard on top; the rains last fall
packed the ground so hard it is diff
cult running the spring drag.
Grass Begins to show up quite a
little on our meadows.
Some cattle have to get their own
living running out; it is a little
tough for them, but hay and straw
are SO scarce this spring; some are
forced to do the best they can to get
their stock through, and those

At Retsius Nelson's there is rejoic-
ing over the advent OF an infant girl.
The meeting at 0. E. Hagen's was
we'll attended. A number of the
regular leaders, viz, Lars and Hans
i5jorsnes, p Moterud and J. Vigen,
were present; So were the singers,
Misses Mary and Emma Tunheim.
W. E. Mack, having already begun
his school again, was also there.
There was a collective deep con-
sciousness of the Divine presence,
and in that consciousness there is
| Joy, strength and assurance.
Last Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. Thorn
Ronneberg, with their smaller and
smallest children, and Mr.. and Mrs.
T. T. Tunheim, with their little
Sigrid Manelva and still smaller
Theodore Roosevelt, were visitors
at NJ. Tunheim's.
The Sunday school at L. Bjorsnes
was to me very interesting and edi-
flying. The general lesson was Matt.
13. The parable Of the sower sug-
gested to me that the husbandman,
the sower, the farmer, to a certain
extent, at least, has control over the
soil, and may himself in time prepare
it so that it will all yield some fruit.
Especially would this seem possible
when the sower is omnipotent, even
when mans free will must be taken
into account The all-wise and all
powerful sower must know how to
bring man to make the proper choice
in the end. He often uses the plow
of adversity, and somehow replaces
the stony heart with a heart of flesh.
The thorns must perhaps in time
yield to Gods warnings and thun-
derings against worldly cares and
riches, Gods word, the seed, must
prevail some time. So, at least, it
seems to me. .<>..-
A recent instance OF absent-mind-
edness deserves recording: Mr.. S.
Garborg had lighted his evening
lamp and brushed his teeth. Then
he lighted a match, seized the lamp
chimney, which burned his fingers,
lifted it off, and placed the lighted
match to the wick. He wondered a
bit why that action did not produce
it's usual effect. Then it flashed upon
him that the lamp had been burning
all the while. He also recalled that
what he had intended to do after
cleaning the teeth was to get a
drink.
