FHTHERHOOD OF GOD
REVEALED IN THE SON.
Not as the vindicntOr Of Laws, says
Doctor 3urnham, but as the
Father of Mercies.

: The Reverend Doctor Michael Burnhem OF
the Pilgrim Congregational Church
preached yesterday morning from John xiv,

the Father and 1t suficeth Us. Jesus satin
unto him. Have 1 been so long time WIN
you. and yet hast thou not known me.
Philip? He that hath seen me hath seen the
Father: and how sayest thou then, Show me

that surrounded the mountain upon which
Moses received the law. and stood in won
der at the mighty spectacle. Will we
hear nothing more of him until just about
the time of the death of Moses. we may
be sure he was an observer Of the dealings
of God with his people during the thirty
and eight years Of their sinful wanderings.
There is not time to speak Of those events
in which he was the chief actor in the
crossing of the Jordan n the conquests
and settlement Of the people in the land
in which the hand of God was SO marvel
ously present. and 1t Is no wonder that this
man was ready, after such experiences and
observations as this, to make an intelligent
choice OF the God who should have his
service.
Then the choice vas a deliberate one.
He did not max It in haste or under the
excitement of a thrilling experience, such
as the destruction Of the Egyptians in the
Red Sea. which was SO clearly the work Of
God. but now in his old age. when the
land was at rest, the people were rejoicing
tunity for careful thought and elaboration
in weighing evidence and looking at proofs
which would settle conviction. this man
says I have made up m mind deliberately
and finally to choose God rs the object Of
my service. Such testimony as this is worth
much In an g like this. What had this

ton but the most incontestable proofs? And
with these before him he makes up his
mind 10 serve the God of heaven. Such
testimony borne to anything else would
win our conviction and approval. Nothing
case like this.
Then notice that this is q choice to
serve. not 4 choice to be served. He looked
upon God as a great ruler and rot a
great servant merely. He looked upon this
choice as an opportunity to labor and not
an opportunity to escape the dangers
which sin and rebellion create. Too many
people there are who loo. upon this choice
as a way TO escape from peril. and when

The meeting of the advertising men Of
the Twin City, held at the Ryan hotel
last night for the purpose Of organizing
an advertising mems club, was attended
by nearly seventy advertising men from
the Twin Cities.
AS was expected, an organization was
affected, and the prospects for the future
of the Club are exceedingly bright. The
club decided that it should be known as
the "Archimedes club" and sixty eight
charter members signed the secretary
list.
The constitution Of the club will be
practically the same as that Of the Atlas
and Agate club, Of Chicago. and the
Sphinx, Of New York, both of which are
Clubs composed of advertising men It is
the intention Of the club to secure promi-
nent men in the advertising business to
address the meetings on subjects of inter-

NIGHT AND SELECT LIST FOR

NO TROUBLE rs ANTICIPATED
Prohibition List of Judges Contains
PrepOnderance of Republican
Names, but the Excess Will
BE Shaken OFF,

The committee selected by the board
of aldermen to confer with the leaders Of
the assembly relative to compilation of
a list of judges for the coming primary
election will meet this afternoon. To-
night the list will be handed over to the
two council bodies, and will be approved
in turn by them.
The fact that the prohibition list of
judges is divided between both parties,
with the Republican end of the number
in the majority, has caused some sus-
picion that 1t has been doctored so as to
give the Democrats the worst Of the di j.
vision. All three of the lists contain a
few names the owners of which have
either left the city or have died, but
they will be Weeded out.
A number of the Republican members
Of the assembly held an informal caucus
yesterday afternoon and discussed the
situation, but did not make public the
steps they had decided upon.
The board of aldermen will in reality
prepare the list, as it will reach them
first, but it does not anticipate any
trouble. Members of that body say there
will be an equitable division and that
the list will be fixed up satisfactorily to
all concerned. The list must be COM
pleted tonight, and this necessity, it is
thought will prevent any quibbling.
There will be three judges to each pre-
cinct, and after appointment they will
name their own clerks, two being al
lowed each In case the work requires
it the judges can ask for two more clerks,
but it is thought such requests will be
denied by the council, owing to the eX-
DenSe.

FIRE LADS KEPT BUSY
FEBRUARY AN UNUSUALLY HEAVY
MONTH FOR DEPARTMENT
Fire nOard DESTROYS of Establishing
Public Fire Alarm System
Steam Whistles Are
Proposed.

According to the report submitted by
Chief Jackson at the meeting of the
fire board last night, February was pro
life in fires, no less than sixty-four
being attended by the department. The
loss Occasioned by these fires was $3.50, :
GEO, but it was, happily, offset by insur-
srce to the amount of over $500, 000
Dump fires have been a considerable an
nCyance to the department, and the at
tention of the board was called ia a big
one now raging in the vicinity of the gh
bridge. The danger at present is small,
but the presence of much smoke shows
that the blaze is making good Roadway.
In a communication, City Engineer Claus
sen informed the board that if the de-
partment would food the dump he would
have the necessary holes and tunnels
excaVated, so that the mass could be
thoroughly drenched This will be done.
The board is still DESTROYS of eStab-
fishing a public fire alarm, and instructed
the superintendent to confer with the two
morning newspapers and see if they
would not permit the attaching of a
huge whistle to their steam plants. The
whistle would be of large capacity and
would be electrically connected with the
city alarm system.
The board ordered two new supply
wagons at a cost of 1851. Less than
same size and characted were purchased
and only cost the department $181 each.
From Comptroller McCardy was receiv-
ed a communication to the effect that
hereafter the revenue accruing from the
scales at the central engine house will
go into the general fund instead of being
credited to the department finances. The
board is agreeable to the change but
to it the $40 it spends each year for the
care and maintenance of the scales.
