PRESIDENT TALKS
ON CHRISTIANITY
Attends Prayer Meeting at
Reformed Church.
THE BROTHERHOOD OF MAN
Speaks Earnestly Upon Adherence to
the Truth Taught in the Bible.
Informal Reception.

That true Christianity means true and
loyal brotherhood was the burden Of the
talk made by President Roosevelt last
night 10 the members of Grace Re
formed Church.
The President attended the prayer
meeting services at the church, and af-
terward held am informal reception.
The meeting with the members of the
church was at AIr. Roosevelt's personal
request-he had asked for the oppor-
tunity. AT the conclusion Of the regular
service MIR. Roosevelt stepped 10 the
rostrum and made his brief address, He
was introduced by the Rev. J. NJ,
Schick, the church's pastor.
Glad to Be in Church.
The President after expressing the
pleasure il gave him 10 meet his fellow
members of the church, spoke, in part,
as follows:
Il think that any man who takes an
interest in this great country of ours
must realize that the one alI-important
necessity OF our social industrial, and
political life is the necessity OF the real
iZatiOn OF what brotherhood means. We
cannot develop our civilization at ali

each recognizing In his fellOW-man his

the Christian spirit in this country not

Therefore, seek in the past all the

HAROLD.

The writer, who spent about nine
years of his youth in Harold, made one
of his periodical trips down there this
week to see the people, and rs usual
thoroughly enjoyed several hours chat
with the old timers who have grown up
with the country and who have been
more or less identified with the promo.
ting of it's interests.
Harold of course does not now pos
sess the energy of callow youth that it
did in the high fly days of SO any more
than do thousands of other towns in
the west, but at the same time it is Ger
tain that considerable business is being
done there right along in order to sup
ply the wide field fromwhich the town.
can draw trade.
There are no immediate prospects OF
any large business enterprises being
projected, yet the people are exceedingly
loyal to and proud of their little town
One thing that causes them to think
Sttiat they are getting the best of what
there is in this world is that Harold is
about the healthest place in the world
During the past six months when
grip, pneumonia, and fevers are mos
liable to be prevalent, there has not been
single occasion to call a doctor into
l-the town or turrounding country.
Another distinct advantage there
is the celebrated artesian we'll. The
/ hustling citizens put this down fourteen
years ago, the first one in this section,
and it has ever since been source of
benilit, pleasure, and profit to them.
+ The drainage bitches run in several
directions and several thousand head Of
cattle that are fed in the near by coun-
try are watered by it during the winter
months, and it is an established fact
that the high temperature Of the water
helps materially in pulling the cattle
through the cold months in good shape.
The bath house that is supplied from
this well is used by every resident and
visitors of the town and it is safe to say
that it would not be traded for fac
tory employing 100 men. Owing to the
age of the well the pipe is badly rusted
and the town board will repipe it this
spring.
I During the cattle shipping season
Harrrold is an exceptionally busy place.
The records at the the G & NV of.
flee will show that more business 10
| done in this line at that point than at
any station between Huron and Pierre,
ana this will no doubt be the case for
! years to come.
| W.. "A. Lichtenwallner, one of the pro.
minent old timers of the country re-
! Gully returned there from Nebraska
and as soon as the weather permits will
build an Office and engage in the real
estate business which he prophesies will
be good this spring.
