abstract treatise on mathematics,
which we know to be true, but which
interests us not at all. Far better It
would be, it seems to me, to read even
skeptically, expecting to disbelieve,
than to read carelessly. Better an hon.
est dOubter, than one who can read
the glorious pages of Gods work and
not rejoice.
Then we say that we believe all
the articles of the Christian faith as
contained In the Creeds of the Church.
But If our belief does not make us
happy, our belief Is vain. l believe
in the Fatherhood of God, and IL I
believe as a Christian should, l shall
be indeed happy In Gods family. God
tries to make His children happy.
They know their blessings, but they
refuse to repay Him with one grateful
prayer, with one smile of trusting love.
We believe that God sent His Son
into the world to redeem mankind,
but does the thought of the Incarna-
ton at Christmas have as much to do
with our happiness as the family re-
union, the good dinner or the many
gifts? The angels who came from
the throne Of God, from the delights
Of heavenly worship to bring the news
to fallen man, thought well that his
news would make them glad. Behold
| bring you glad tidings Of great JOY.
But many of us believe and yet do not
rejoice. Oh, my people, why is It?
Can we truly believe In all Gods
blessings In the great truths which
affect our eternal welfare, and not
rejoice?
There can be no cold unfeeling be-
lief In Gods great truths. They are
too vital, too essential, and If they do
not make us happy, then our faith is
as nothing Believe In the truth. Yes.
but believing. we must rejoice with
JOY unspeakable.

NEEDS BOLDER CHRISTIANS.
fBy Rev. DR.. William b. Leach

"
Gods heroes are not found among
the great always. I would rather be a
poor reclaimed sinner, fighting hard
life's battles, than dead pope. Gods
heroes are most among the lowly. The
high drift more easily with sins tide.
The poor struggle against it and win.
What man needs is holy boldness,
not a bold holiness. God likes the
violent in good things. We are not
half violent enough. Sin destroys its
thousands while the good are asleep.
Vacations will Stay their hundreds be-
cause we lack courage. The kingdom
is to be taken by force too.
| believe If Christians would live
and pray their convictions we could
drive the devil out of Chicago In
hurry. We do 1t not. Good Lord and
good devil is our mode. For shame.
Let us up. We need men bold as Eli
jah, swift as Jehu, and daring as Da-
vid. Moses pleaded till God had to
listen. SO ought we. Men, women,
we are not half as daring In things
of God as we ought to be. Heaven Is
ours. God is ours. All things are.
To make q success of life demands
equality with God.

SELFISHNESS THE GREAT SIN.
BY Rev. John Norris Mall.


HE that loseth his life shall find 1t,
and he that findeth his life shall lose
it."
These words seem so unnatural in
this busy world that we are disposed
to take them with allowance. The
handspring of life is success and the
shibboleth of this strenuous world Is
Get therew Success and failure are
relative terms and depend on ones par
ticular viewpoint. To be a successful
merchant seems to be summum bo-
mum. But as a business man said to
me after toilsome day, there Is some
thing in life besides making money.
Sefishness Is the great sin. 1t re-
veals itself early in children, and I'M
less 1t Is checked 1t grows with the
years. The mother loses herself In her
work for her children and finds per-
manent Joy in after years. The artist
loses himself In his noble ideals and
lives anew in the offspring of his
brain.
Be yourself and forget yourself Is
the secret of true living. Catchy music
and jingling poetry do not last long,
Ragtime ideals are not enduring A
world where all seek the things of
their own and not Christ's Is a selfish
world, but a world where everyone
seeks the things Of Christ and not his
own Is an ideal world. 1t Is heaven.

Two Narrow Escapes.

Linton Advocate: John Johnson
had a narrow escape from being blown
TO pieces last Sunday afternoon while
blasting in the deep cut on the North
ern Pacific grade north of town.
Johnson was in the act of tamping
a blast-hole when a small stone rolled
in on top of the powder. Thinking
nothing of this he continued putting
in powder, and when all was ready
touched it off and ran. After the eX-
plosion he returned and seeing that
the charge had not loosened as much
dirt as was expected he got down on
his hands and knees to examine the
blast hole, and while in that position
the powder that was under the stone
which had rolled into the blast hole,
exploded, lifting Mr.. Johnson thirty
feet into the air. or a little above the
top of the cut. which is twenty-six feet
high.
In his descent he struck the edge of
the cut, falling from there onto a small
car loaded with dirt that stood on a
narrow ridge ten feet above the bot
tom of the cut.
When picked up the unfortunate
man was unconscious and was badly
cut about the face, with a large scalp
wound on the back of the head which
was no doubt made when he struck
the car.
He was taken to the hospital at Bis
marck.
Tuesday morning a report came to
Linton from grading camp No. 40. stat
ing that Walking Boss Jack O'Neil had
been injured while blasting.
Jack was tamping a blast hole when
a premature explosion took place. the
loose dirt and rock striking him on
the face. Medical assistance was sum
moned, but on account of having nc
place at which he could be properly
taken care of he was removed to Bis
marck.
His injuries are confined to his face
and n eye is in a very bad condi-
ton.
Jack has many friends IN Linton. al
of whom regret his sad misfortune.

THE IRRIGATION CONVENTION.
Hon. E.. A. Williams Reports 'ndica-
tons Of General Support Of the 'rri-
oation Movement in the State

Hon. E. A. Williams. chairman: |
am glad TO see the interest that is be
ing taken through the state in the If
.rigatlon movement. and from what
have learned | believe il will be the
largest attended and most important
meeting ever held in the state. II
should be remembered that other
states which are interested in the irri-
CATION movement have held meetings
and adopted a plan of action. North
Dakota so far has done nothing and
ii is necessary that the people of this
state speak boldly for their share of
irrigation work. 1t would be profitable
even if the several counties OF the
state appointed delegates and paid
their pen rather than they should
be unrepresented at the meeting. The
irrigation law is the gratest that was
ever passed so far as North Dakota is
concerned. We have had some govern
ment engineers in the state, and We
should have some of them attend this
meeting. There are thousands Of
acres of land in the state irrigable at
a small expense. There are many
propositions that may be considered.
Dams might be built at the mouth of
the Little Missouri river OF eve on the
Missouri river. TO preserye the water
for the irrigation of the adjoining
table lands. But we must take some
concerted action and then lend all our
energies to the attainment of the gen
eral purpose, which is the upbuildins
and advancement of the state of North
Dakota.

JAPAN'S WARLIKE MOVE.
Decides to Send Two Regiments &c
Korea.

Paris, Oct. 2.-According to relia-
BILE information received here Japan
has decided TO send two regiments OF
infantry to Korea. This is regarded
in authoritative quarters as being a
most important step as affecting
Russo-Japanese relations and as like
ly to a%ccentuate the possibilities Of a
war crisis. Japan's decision Is on
sidered to be directly related to Rus
sia's proposition to evacuate Manchu-
ria Oct. 8. 1t is now accepted in the
highest quarters that this evacuation
is impossible of accomplishment. as
China has not signed the terms on
which Russia conditioned her evacua-
ton.
The advices received show that
China inclines to continue the pres
ent Russian status in Manchuria
rather than commit herself to finally
signing the proposed agreement. In
view of these conditions Japan's de-
cision to send troops to Korea is re-
garded as being a most significant
step.

A Buffalo Hunt Proposed.

Probably the only herd u buffalo
not now in actual captivity and the
largest one known Is that belonging
to "Scotty" Phillips, a wealthy and
prominent South Dakotan. These ami
mails have ranged-under the watchful
eyes Of herders-for a number Of years
west Of the Missouri river near Pierre.
Last winter it was reported that one
large male member Of this herd had
left the range and had come north to
the edge Of the Standing Rock reser-
%vation. and was afterward driven back
to the herd. 1t is said that when
"Scotty" Phillips brought this herd
from the range TO his pasture, several
of the largest could not be brought
in, as they would break through any
Gordon of riders which would surround
them. Some of them are vicious and it
is desired TO get them out of the way.
The matter of a hunt for that purpose
some time next month is being con-
sidered, and if the plan is carried out
it will without doubt be the last buff
falo hunt in the history of the country.
Buffalo Bill" and other prominent
men will be invited to take part, and
the hunt will be a great attraction.
A ~taxidermist will accompany the party
and prepare the skins for mounting,
and some fine specimens will be Sc
cured.

ENDORSES THE CONVENTION.

The Grand Forks Herald thus In
dorses the irrigation convention to be
held at Bismarck. Oct. 20 and p:
One of the avowed objects OF the
coming convention is to urge on the
government in the name Of North Da-
kota prompt measures for the sur
yey of the territory where it is sup
posed irrigation can be employed to
advantage. to the end that we may
have the use of this FUND in our own
state. for the development OF our
domain This is an important matter,
and were there nc other object IN
view. it would be incumbent on the
neople of he entire state to display
some activity in the matter, mat the
fund to our credit be not dissipated.
but be used for the purpose for which
ii was intended. and in the state from
which it came.
But there is another feature which
ought to appeal to our people even
more forcibly. For every acre that can
be benefited by irrigation there are
many acres which can be benefited
by thorough and systematic drainage.
1t is not necessary now to recount the
history of floods in the Rec River val
lev TO prove the necessity of drainage
here. Something mas been done by
private ntefprise. State laws have
made possible the accomplishment OF
a good deal more. But what Is needed
is work on a larger scale thar can be
undertaken with any of the means at
hand. What is true of the Red River
valley is true to q greater or less extent
of all except the small and arid por-
lions of the state. The flooding of he
Mouse river country on several AGA
sions OF late is a case in point.
The irrigation convention should, II
it is to take a position at once logical
and beneficial to the people of the
entire state, call upon congress TO
all6llu luc plcotul ia" o q ~ Ai
the use of the so-called irrigation fund,
moi only for irrigation, but for drain
age. Congressman Spalding has a bill
in course of preparation covering this,
and he should go to Washington
backed by the most emphatic express
sion of approval from this conyen-
ton.
According to the terms of the call
all senators and congressman, state
officials. members of the Legislature.
city and county officials, and chairmen
of political committees are entitled
to seats in the convention. In add
ton each board of county commission
ers is allowed to appoint five delegates
and each city commercial organiza-
ton and educational institution is al
lowed two delegates. This gives a lit
eral representation. 1t is 10 be hoped
that there will be neither Indifference
nor neglect in this part OF the state.

About as good an answer as is neces-
sary TO the statements OF the state
press regarding the liquor licenses held
in Bismarck is the statement thai there
was not an arrest by the city oficlals
during the month of September, for
drunkenness or any other crime. There
were no complaints filed with the ON
cials of any nature, and the good order
that has prevailed is a sufficient testi-
mony of the character OF the city ana
its citizens.
