THE RELIGIOUS LIFE
tEADlNc FOR THE QUIET HOUR
WHEN THE SOUL INVITES ITSELF.

POem: A Vision and q Prayer, by s. A,
Dyke - what Christ Teaches About
Judging Others-The Critic should Bo
without Fault-Comment Charitably.
I stand upon the cliffs at night,
And look afar upon the sea.
Beyond the beacon's guiding light,
Towards the haven yet to be.
see the silent ships pass on,
With bending sail and pennon fair, =
With bounding hope as guerdon,
With precious freight. with favoring air.
The darkling waters roll beneath,
The twinkling stars geam high above,
And whispering winds with gentle breath,
Speak to my soul of life and love.
This changeful life the rolling deep.
Thy shining truth the beacon light,
My yearning heart the freighted ship.
Thy star-lit throne the haven bright.
o God. who ever dost reveal.
To child.like heart through mortal sight,
The things not seen but vet most real.
Hear Thou my prayer to Thee this night.
Wilt Thou not hear a cry to Thee,
a humble cry in filial fear.
A creatures cry that asks to see
Thy grace and glory now and here:
o Lord, do Thou direct my course,
In me reveal Thy only Son,
Give peace within midst pillows strife,
By me, oh, may Thy will be done.
Through daylight clear, through midnight
dark,
BY breezes fair by tempest wild.
Oh guide Thee straight the trembling bark,
That bears to Thee Thy wandering child.

A Fundamental, Question,

While the motives which influence per.
sons to become total abstainers are various
some renounce drink for its own sake and
some abstaining for the sake OF others
Still there is a fundamental question on
which these motives depend. Why is it
that moderate drinking" so often leads
that the sober part of the community
should abstain for the sake of their weaker
brethren? That the judges of our land at.

Some Striking Words.

In all parts OF the city of Paris. amid
the other official placards and notices
(some of which are gayly printed in red.
white and blue) is a large white poster
with clear black type, bearing the striking
words. "Alcoholism, Its Dangers" in
claring headlines. The wording of this
unique placard is in part as follows; 1T is
a mistake to say that alcohol is neces.
sary for workmen who engage in arduous
labor, that it gives encouragement to the
work. or that it builds up the forces; tho
artificial stimulus that it brings about
quickly gives place to nervous depression
and weakness: in reality. alcohol is useful
to no one, it is harmful to all. The habit
of drinking brings in its train loss of affec
ton for ones family. forgetfulness of all
social duties. distaste for work, misery,
robbery, and crime. 1t leads, at least, to
the hospital; for alcoholism begets the
most various and deadly maladies. With
reference to the health Of tine individual.
the existence of the family, and the fnturo
of the country, alcoholism is one of tho
most terrible scourges."

In speaking of Gods plan for us and His
methods Of dealing with us, His children,

None of us can tell for what God is
educating us. We fret and murmur at the
narrow round and daily task of ordinary
life, not realizing that. it is only thus that
we can be prepared f'r the high and holy
Office which awaits us. We must descend
before we can ascend We mu take the

polishing If we lould be shafts in the

bravely; be at your best always. though

The tiniest daisy that smiles so
sweetly at our feet owes its existence
to the patient pushing upward of the
small germ against all the obstacles
OF sell and stones; and were it con.
scious 1t might tell a tale of daily
cifliculty and danger sturdily met and
oravely overcome. So in humanity
Itself all that is finest and most beau.
tliul Is intertwined with difficulty.
Phillips Brooks once said that he
could go through the crowded streets
OF heaven, and that we would look In
vain for any soul that did not get
there through a struggle. On the
earth each soul was weak man, who
became strong through Christ, and in
spite of his lowerself.
A strong man not only carries a
heavy burden. but he carries it in the
best way, the most easy and graceful
way. Thus also you can Judge a mans
spiritual strength. by noting not only
what work he does for God, but the
manner in which he does it.

crops can be raised upon it or
forfeit a reasonable sum to the
state if he he does not convince
the mission. There are a
good many people who cannot
see any valuein the sandy lands
of certain parts Of northern
Wisconsin, and Mr.. Peet is ready
to demonstrate to these people
that they do not know what they
are talking about. The trouble
has been for many years that a
large number of people in Wis
consin could not be convinced
that there was a particle of land
that was fit for agricultural pur-
poses in the state north of a GER
tain imaginary line, and these
people have had to be shown time
and again that they were mis-
taken. But they are giving in
only py inches, and are only &C
knowledging they are wrong at
all because of the work of such
men as Mr.. Peet who stands
ready to demonstrate. He has
taken the position with the COM
mission that they are all "from
Missouri, and that he is willing
to ''show them" The people OF
the state of Wisconsin were lead
| to believe last winter that the
passage of the McDonough for
estry reserve bill would placethe
state lands on the market, as
they should be, and that they
would come into the hands of
actual settlers and homeseekers.
From the operations of the com
mission it begins to look as
| though the "actual settlers" and
homeseekers would have to play
second fiddle, as Of old, and
dance to the tune of the music of
land grabbers. All of this is in
line with the transactions and
history of the land department
and it's com missions for a great
many years, in that the state
lands have never been obtainable
for agricultural purposes at pro-
per prices. Through some sub
terfuge or another the poor man
has always got the worst OF the
deal in the state land Office, and
there should be no mincing mat
tiers with the forestery commits
sion if they are going to condemn
certa n valuable lands as unfit
for settlement and give the poor
man the worst of the deal in the
disposal of lands.

to the winning of the prize which
depended not SO, much upon the
guessing ability as upon the cont test
ants composition, and to win out
with so many to contest against is
no small thing.
A party of local Waltonians be-
took themselves to the wilds of bark
creek this week to get boat load
of trout. They started out with one
of the big grain boats and a sail boat
in tow. It Was supposed that the
big boat was for the fish and the
sail boat for the fishermen, but when
they reached the creek the weather
was SO unpromising that the big one
was put out of commission and
they decided that when the sail
boat was full they wouldcome home.
Sunday it rained, however, and like
wise Sunday night and Monday
morning dawned dark and cloudy
and the rain continued TO fall till the
thought of fishing was abandoned
and every mind was turned to fgur-
ing out how 10 get home. One of
the party suggested that in view of
the heavy rain it might be possible
to sail home across the country but
as none of the partv are experts III
the art of sailing, this plan was
abandoned and it is said they decid-
ed that the boat could get home
quite as well without them so. they
walked. This is only hearsay but
Charley Simpson or Dave Define can
give the facts of the matter.
Messers Preston and Loveland re-
port an excellent land business the
past week, six different parties hav-
ing been here looking over the coun-
icy, several of whom will locate here
and bring others. Everyone who
comes is pleased with the country
and when you can fool an old exper-
fenced farmer on the quality of the
soil there has got to be some pretty
clever work done. These men who
are coming her from Iowa and other
farming localities can tell good land
when they see it and not one of them
but speaks we'll of Washburn land
when he leaves, and few go without
purchasing one or more forties.
Among the men who were here this
week were, Messers Clark, Salem,
Brown and Metcalf all from Iowa;
