inspired by Christian principles and
motives it is compelled by the exi-
goncies ST its work to keep creed and
denomination in the background. Its
opportunities of getting in touch with
men and women of every faith and Of

together lost, if it became known as a
proselyting institution The institu-
tional church believes in being all

out the command of Christ which says,
And if l be lifted up will draw all
men unto me-" The social settlement
can never take the place of the church,
though it may prepare the way for 1t.
Its work. valuable as it is, does not
reach its true elimination until the
people whom it strives to influence
have found in the gospel of Jesus
Christ the panacea for all their afliic-
tions and in Jesus himself the bearer
of all their burdens. So the institu-
tional church. strong in its conviction
Of the efficacy Of its remedy. makes

VILE shows were given in order TO de

do not believe it out of place for Chris

the great unchurched masses into a
church fellowship in the name Of

WhoA go down the street of Mon

tomb,ike and silent and dark on ac-
count of their closed doors and find
the billiard halls in full illumination
and crowded with the yOnng men Of
our land. I know then that there is
something wrong. l know that these
young men are not being appealed to
in the name of Christ through the So
cial cate. l know that the institutional
church is right when, to cOunteract
that evil influence. it throws wide
open its church buildings and offers to
the young men and women of its neigh
borhOOd libraries in which they can
read the best books. and gymnasiums
in which they can develop their mus

of the institutional church. di1 you
ever stop to realize that in the congest-
I'd districts of your tenement buildings
there is hardly public place Tor a
workingman to go and get warm ex-
cept TO a saloon, there Is hnrdly a
place where be can go to meet the
most sacred wants of his physical ma
ture except in a saloon? Therefore can
we and dare we decry the mission Of
the institutional church ia furnishing
wholesome and elevating amusement
for the workingman and a resort in
which he can spend a pleasant social
evening?
But" some one says. chow then do
you distinguish between the work of
the social settlement and the work Of
the institutional churchT" They are
diametrically different. They are as
far apart as the arctic and the antarc-
tic poles. They have entirely different
purposes The institutional church be-
lieves that the social gate" should be
the strait gate leading directly to
the foot Of the cross. While the social

But. We laGorin@ men. how are we to
win in these three great movements
which we have been developing? How
are we TO get the Holy Spirit inspired
institutional church. and the Christian
Sabbath as 4 day for rest and worship.
and Il gospel ballot box TO care for our
depraved? Shall we ultimately or
ever triumph in these three great
movements for the purifcation Of the
laborers evenings? Not in oar own
strength, but in the strength of Jesus
Christ, we shall. and we can DO every
thing if we will only trust him and
work for him.
One day. 50 goes the story, an old
Scotch preacher arose ana first gave
ont as his text the following words
from Philippians iv. 13: u can do all
things" Then he stopped 4 look of
surprise went around the congregation.
for this minister was humble man.
But after n pause the preacher said:
"Ah, did not read the text Alright. II
any man says to me 1 can do all
things l know he is liar. But if he
reads my whole text and says I can do
all things through Christ which
strengtheneth me- then l say he tells
the truth Christ is omnipotent, and
Christ will always give us his promised
aid" So. laboring men. l beg and
plead with you to throw yourself upon
the divine strength. l plead with you,
by the power of Jesus Christ. to go
with me into the battle Of trying to
save the lower as wei! as the socially
higher classes. l plead with you to
help solve the question how the la
boring man shall spend his evenings
by appealing for help to a Saviour
who was once a laboring man. He was
Jesus. the carpenter He was Jesus,
the worker for daily bread. He was
Jesus whose companions were for the

swarthy limbs and furrowed checks

is ready to be your colaborer for the
emancipation of a sinful world-Jesus
who perhaps is your colaborer now.

ADVICE TO FARMERS.
The American Society Of Equity n
sues a Bulletin.
DOLLAR ADUSHEL FOR WHEATURGED.


| indianapolis, Ind, May ~et.--Tho
American Society Of Equity to-day
issued bulletin 10 the farmers Of
the United States demanding an in
crease in the price Of wheat, giving
arguments that the minimum price
Of wheat should be 81 and urging the
farmers of the United States not TO
sell for less than 81. The society has
been organized with this city as ma
tional headquarters for the purpose
of maintaining higher prices for
farm products by cooperation Of
the farmers Of the country and this
is the first formal demand for an in
crease In prices as the result Of the
combination. The bulletin sets out
the claim that this Is an era Of un-
qualled prosperity, demand for com
modities is unprecedented, labor re-
ceinng higher wages than ever be-
fore and the demand for and con-
sumption of wheat Is greater than
ever before with q low visible supply.
The bulletin then says:
1T is evident that the American
farmers cannot produce over about
12 bushels per acre on an average,
which at ss cents per bushel repre-
sents S1O.56 per acre to cover all the
work, seed, twine, threshing, mar
keting, etc, an amount that scarcely

and those aboard watched 1t as best
they could. Most OF the way 1t
stayed in the timber along the banks
Of the Republican river, occasionally
leaving it to cut across the fields.
In the Mccoy pasture north Of Solo
mon q rabbit was caught and left
In shreds on the fence.
In plowed field it dug channel
two yards wide and two feet deep.
On the Lee farm 200 chickens were
picked clean and a windmill and
tower carried away with so feet Of
piping pulled from the we'll. At the
Lee home $50 In cash was in Mr.. Lees
clothes in the house. The clothes
are gone and the money with them.
AT another place The owner as he
hunted among the debris found one
penny OF his money. The path OF
the tornado was not more than lO0
yards wide at this place.
Frank Erwin who lived on Jos.
Whites place had narrow escape.
A new house had been built this
spring. Mrs. Erwin was afraid OF
storms SO cyclone cellar was dug,
Just finished few days ago. They
ran to 1t and remained while the
storm swept away the house.
A wooden bridge over q branch Of
Chapman creek was torn up and only
one plank left.
William Loader north Of Industry
lost house and buildings but no stock,
David Dobson Of Solomon had $1,000
insurance but bis loss was much
greater.

OTHER DAMAGES.
About three miles north Of Hope
was hail storm that In places gave
three inch thickness of hail. F. G.
Puliver and Mr.. Meyer were In 1t.
The storm was two miles wide and
some hail as large as hens eggs.
A Santa Fe extra stopped north Of
Talmage and trainmen watched the
storm, Neither track nor telegraph
line was damaged.
In Abilene there was only heavy
rain and light hail, which was true at
Chapman and solomon. The whole
county got soaking rain and in the
night another heavy rain fell.
A tree in front Of E. s. Thayer's on
West Third was struck by lightning
during the afternoon storm,
STORIES OF THE STORM
Thousands Of people from all parts
Of this county and from Ottawa and
Clay on Sunday visited the scene Of
the cyclone path. They found the
conditions as described by the REFLEc-
TOR Saturday and II was all very
interesting, though also very pathetic.
One man who saw the tornado
cloud clearly and close at hand thus
describes it: The cloud looked like
an immense balloon with the trunk
OF an elephant hanging on the bottom
ard sweeping back and forth across
tie .acth. Inc lower end OF this,
which was much the smallest part OF
it, moved up aud down, sometimes
being clear Of the earth altogether
and sometimes dipping so far down
that the width OF the path was two
or three hundred feet wide. 1t kept
up a terrific whirling motion all the
time and seemed to suck things into
itself. Whenever it dipped down
afresh the effect was somewhat like
slappiDg q dusty road with barrel
stave, only on a gigantic scale, clouds
OF dust rising on each side OF the
trunk.like end Of the funnel. The
cloud was so intensely black that
these dust clouds looked white against
it and could be plainly seen in spite
Of the gathering darkness on account
Of their lighter color.
The atmosphere was clear and calm
where the man was, some six or eight
miles distant from the storm, but
shadows gathered until 1t was almost
dark. The air grew bit oppressive
and considerably warmer. The mo-
tion Of the cloud was, Of course,
gyratory, and it moved with wonder
full swiitness. Passengers on the Re-
publican river branch train saw the
storm clearly. The storm approached
so rapidly wien the crew and passen-
gers on the train thought II was COM
lug toward them they found no possi-
BILE way OF escape, although 1t was
six or seven miles away. It would
have been quite Impossible for them
to have escaped il, SO swiftly did IT
travel The course was irregular,
being sometimes 10 one objection and
sometimes in another. but the general
direoliou WAS north and northeast.
After It had pss.ed Aida. near which
il was fret sighted the train followed
slowly along a safe distance behind 1t

On the edge OF riotb ~ hrs' souenou
Mr.. Sauers' place which sets high on
a hill. 1t ripped half the shingles OF,
smashed the windows, tore away the
porch and destroyed the stable. Two
calves were together in the barn.
One was carried I mile and left dead
on the prairie. The other was un-
hurt. While barn and implements
near by were ruined. on big tree
nearby apparently not even . twig
was disturbed. Some heavy article
went through the house, in at one
window and out at an opposite one,
knocking 9 pot Of plants off the shelf
in its course. No one was hurt but
the place looks badly demoralized.
The storm continued northeast and
tore up trees and hedges on its way,
trees eight inches in diameter were
broken of like twigs.
AT WILLIAM YoUNG's.
william Young's is directly north
east, He with his three daughters,
Ellen. May and Mrs. Whitney, saw it
coming and went to the cellar. There
they stayed while the storm swept
the place clear. House, barn, imple-
ments, clothing, ETC., were scattered
for quarter mile. Stones struck
Mr.. Young on the shoulder; Ellen was
cut over the eye. II could not have
lived out Of DOORS" said Mr.. Young.
The family dog was last seen sailing
through the air. He is not home yet.
A merry-go-round engine was turned
over and broken. Three organs and
a sewing machine were smashed
Mr.. Young had no insurance on his
place which is swept clean. The
neighbors gathered up the clothing
and bedding and it is drying on the
hedges. The cellar with its tumbling
walls is all that is left to show that a
home stood there. The family had a
narrow escape and it Is wonderful
that they are alive today, practically
AT SQUIRE HARvEY's.
1t is but half a mile to the fine
home of ex-Representative H. G. Har-

and his wife we're in the cellar when
the crash came and around them were

over her while the roaring storm
swept by. The house above them
was moved about six feet but stood
intact. The other house was splin-
tered into kindling wood and scat
tered over the prairie for 100 yards.
Big trees were uprooted and the barn
destroyed, but though stones we're
heaped around them Mr. and Mrs.
Dilling were unhurt.
At the Harvey place though the
barn was destroyed the horses were
unhurt; pillow was smashed into bits
and q hen house lifted skyward but Q

Mr.. ]. /. Watt found pocketbook on
the prairie with a small sum Of money.
Another one containing $lS disap-
peared in the storm. A chicken wire

Mr.. Watt holding his wife and the
gate post and the boys clinging to the
post also. They lay fat on the ground
and hung on. Luckily they were not
in the direct line Of the Storm and
