Topic.-Some goos ways Of USING the
Sabbath.--Mark |, I-SA
For many generations the stress laid
upon the Sabbath las been from
negative rather than an affirmative
standpoint. The emphasis has been
placed upon what we should not do
rather than upon what we should do
And it may be that If more time and
thought had been given to the things
to be done less would have needed TO
be said upon she subject of what we
should not do The best way 10 over
come evil is by the substitution of
good. cease TO 60 evil, learn TO do
WELL" says the prophet Isaiah, but the
best way in all the world TO cease to
do evil is to learn to do well. He who
does well will have neither time nor
inclination to do Ill., So he that keeps
the sabbath day win have no time To
break it. lie that fills every hour Of
this day with tdiu-s that are permits
sisle Will have no time 90 eugage in
those things that are prohibited by tue
laws of God and Of man
What. then. are some good ways Of
using the Sabbathf The incident Sc
lected for our study is that of Christ
at Capernaum on certain sabbath
day There He. entered into the syna-
gogue, taught and healed man pos
sessed of an evil spirit. and in these
events we may learn how we may
make a good use of the Sabbath.
/. On the sabbath day we should
worship God in the public place of wor
ship. The public worship of God has
always been exacted of His people. 1t
is not enough to have private devo-
tons In the home, nor will the admira-
ton of God in the works of nature suf-
fee; we must not "forsake the assem-
bNing Of ourselves together" The
soul needs TO worship God. and this
public worship would protect us from
many temptations to break the Sab
bath. The Office or business place
could not be visited, the morning could
NOT be spent in reading the Sunday
newspapers. all day visits could not be
made to friends. keeping them from
their duties to God. il we regularly
worshiped God in His house on the
Sabbath.
q On the Sabbath day we could be
engaged in teaching. Christ entered
into the synagogue aud taught"
Teachers are needed in the church. in
the home and in various other places
on the Sabbath day. Children in the
homes need TO be taught the Bible and
Christian duties. With few exceptions
our Sabbath schools need faithful and
efficient teachers. and outside of these
there are non-ChriStiau homes where
the teaching of the word of God would
be welcomed. and public charitable in
situations where the same would be
true. Teaching Gods word is Il good
work. and many could do it who are
now spending the Sabbath in idleuesS~
5. On the Sabbath day we should do
good to others. Christ did good upon
the Sabbath. So may and should we
upon the ssme day. Many about US
need our sympathy, encouragement
and help. If we would give it as liter
ally as the Master did we would not
want for good uses te make OF the Sab
bath day.

White the entire drift of the poem is

not to forget the last thought: There Is no

Milestone, Canada.

This to the old neighbors and

the Lafoy boys who left for Canada
about the 18th of March, but were de-
layed at Minneapolis and snowbound
five days, reaching Milestone the 2Sth
found plenty of snow. There was three
feet on the level and lots of drifts,
but we went to work just the same,
made us some sleds, hauled our lum-
Der 10 miles north of Milestone and
we have by the first of May built four
houses, 3 stables and chicken houses
and are now beginning to pillow for
small grain with breaking plows.
We are digging a well at present on
Georges quarter and are greatly in
hopes we will get water. This is a
most beautiful country, the soil looks
as though it would certainly produce
good grain in abundance, anyway we
are encouraged to try, so hoping
Audubon county people will prosper,
and wishing them well, we remain the
same, Lafoy Bros.

Crop Bulletin.
For the week ending May 9, 1904.
Des Moines, Iowa.

FOR the week enulng May y, 1914.
Des Moines, Iowa.
The past week was very favorable
for farm work and normal growth of
vegetation. There was an average
excess of 3 to s degrees in the daily
mean temperature, and generally
sufficient rainfall to moisten the sur
face and quicken the growth of grain
and grass. Except in few localities
the rainfall has not been sufficient to
materially delay field work. AT the
close of the week the temperature fell
very near the frost line in northern
districts, but there are no reports of
damage.
Very satisfactory advancement has
been made in blowing and preparing
ground for corn, and reports from all
districts indicate that considerable
acreage has been planted under very
good conditions of soil. The bulk of
the corn area is likely to be planted
earlier than in recent seasons, and
the acreage will be increased. Oats
and other spring grain crops are
making a fairly good stand. Pas
lures and meadows are doing we'll.
Except peaches and raspberries, the
prospect is very good for an album
dant yield of fruit. A considerable
acreage of potatoes is being planted.

From the Council Bluffs Nonpareil.
Mary Petersen, the Danish girl who
, disappeared from her home in Elk
Horn, la. last week, has turned up in
first class condition and is now at the
home of Frank Compton near Council
Bluffs, where she is employed as a
, domestic. Although the explanation
of her travels for the past few days
will do doubt be welcome news to her
relatives, her actions have caused
Andrew Christensen, her former lover,
much humiliation.
Andrew Christensen and Mary
Petersen are said to have been sweet
hearts in Denmark, and that he paid
her passage to the United States, ex-
pecting to marry her as soon as she
arrived. After coming across the
ocean, however, Miss Petersen changed
her mind and in spite of all of her
lovers pleadings she refused to wed
him. w.,
After they had come to Council
Bluffs last week she still remained
obdurate.' The young woman first
went to Omaha where she has friends,
and after spending Sunday with them
made her way to Mr.. Compton's,
which was her original destination.
After summoning Christensen and
questioning him Chief Richmond de-
cided that the young man was not at
all responsible for the girls dis
appearance and let him 90.

District Court

District court, with Judge Green on
the bench and with Mr.. Butler as re.
porter. opened this week and will
likely adjourn today. Audubon
county fortunately is having little
litigation. The few cases are either
settled or continued. There were no
jury cases tried, only one being ready
and the court did not care to detain
the jury for that alone, so excused the
jury the same day it appeared. The
grand jury was only in session one
day. Geo. Higley was foreman.
Among the cases settled were some
rail road cases. John Mcclure,
Finch and Kerwin and Hensley Bros.
and Thielen all had claims for dam
ages against the Rock Island for
damage to stock shipped in to Chi
cago. These were all settled out of
court by the claim agent, Mr.. Mather.
The plaintiffs got from one-half to
two thirds what they claimed. An
other case settled was that of Chris
tena Petersen VS. the Rock Island for
injuries received in the wreck on the
road below Hamlin last fall, plaintiff
being thrown against the stove. She
received $4,000. Cosson & Ross
represented her and Carroll Wright
and Nash & Phelps the defendant.
The directors of the fair associ-
alton met Tuesday and appointed
