back ground for the brighter picture
of this evening to show the crisis that
Christianity is being subjected to to-
day. | take it we are all Christians.
and today we are apt to say every
thing is well; but it takes a stronger
man to face these crises and see them
as they are. | hardly know how to
interpret these conditions but / am
not here TO offer any excuse for the
conditions as they exist but to give
YOU a first hand observation and
cause Nou 10 think of the necessity of
a solution for this problem.
At the time Christianity took to
reblrth III the reformation times an
economical crisis existed between the
classes and the masses. During the
peasant instruction no anarchial flag
was borne but instead one bearing
an Inscription "We demand nothing
but the rights of Cod There is a
parallel existing between these eccle-
siastical and economical developments
textile and weaving industries were
developed until the status of the
laboring class was entirely changed.
The working class was caught up by
cyclone and huddled into the fac
tories. Children were pressed into
service and compelled to work sixteen
and eighteen hours a day. The pity
of all this is that the new Angelical
church did not respond to the cry of
the helpless.
But these conditions are not found
wanting today. Parliamentary investi-
cation showed the fact that one third
fthe Scotch school children are I'M
der fed and not fit for military service
Christianity intensified these eco
homie crisis. All these peasants ask
ed was the privileges of a man, and
in fact all our laboring classes ask to-
day Is the same thing; that l may
have a home, that my children may go
to school.

people are employed. Here every

profit is taken from the village to
the treasury Of the concern but turned
into the village treasury. 1t seemed
that this was impossible after leaving
the busy street Of ChLago. What a
blessed thing If more of our manu-

sands Of English working men every
Sunday morning in Birmingham NAV

adult schools are the greatest social
movements n England and are the
work Of Friends. Mr.. Cadburv
bought the London News and since his
ownership he would not allow any
thing to be printed that could be
bet on. Mr.. Carbury is great man.
AT York Mr. Roundtree has found
the same thing; that it pays to invest

ployed.
The Friends Meeting House in

there are many nice cathedrals for
domestic benefits, give me a Quaker
meeting house.
While at Toledo, I visited the works
of Mr.. Jones. There in passing
through his shops | saw a sign read
ing: "Do unto others as Ye would
that they would unto you' This
man was elected as mayor of Toledo
four times in spite of the saloons and
the other opposing forces. When this
large-hearted man died few weeks
ago there was demonstration such as
has not been seen Since the funeral
of Lincoln. While probably one of
the most misrepresented men in To
ledo, nevertheless he had won the
hearts of the working man.

After the death of Lazarus Jesus
left for Bethany and was met by
Martha. Here He made a public

Many of the Jews now believed in
Jesus and many went to see Lazarus.

archy to stop Jesus. Jesus now re-
tired to secluded city and remained
uptil about the Passover.

Des Moines, Iowa, April 20.--Altho Gov
ernor Cummins has two years longer to
serve, and possibly three, If the biennial
election amendment is adopted, as it prob
ably will be, gubernatorial candidates are
beginning to place themselves in a posi-
ton to take advantage of the tide when
it comes in. Senator Thomas D. Healy,
who Is being groomed for the race, Is
looked upon as the strongest candidate
thus far mentioned.
However, he does not seem especially
anxious. When he failed to receive the
federal judgship appointment. he gave out
q significant interview. He stated that If
the eleventh district should present either
Senator A. B. Funk or George D. Perkins
for governor it would receive the support
of the tenth district. Both these men
are considered possibilities in the guber-
material race.
In the fourth district Willard l.. Eaton,
of Usage, is freely mentioned as a candi-
date. Another possible candidate is H.
w. Byers Of Harlan, ex-speaker and q
leader in the Cummins organization. The
Cummins forces would rally to his support
with enthusiasm. A boom for Senator O..
Il. Courtright Of Waterloo has been started
in the third district.
In the ninth district Lieutenant Gov
ernor John Herriott Of Stuart is acknowl-
edged as another potential candidate.
Requisltion for Mrs. Rocker.
Governor Cummins has issued a requi-
sition upon Governor Herrled OF South
Dakota, demanding the return to Iowa OF
Dora Rocker, who is under arrest at Elk
ton, and is wanted in Lyon county for
the murder Of her former husband, August
Schroeder, two years ago.
Mrs. Rocker recently made a confession
In which she declared that her present
husband, Charles Rocker, committed the
murder and confessed it to her after mar
rying her. The testimony before the
grand jury shows that Rocker and Mrs
Schroeder killed the latter's husband while
in bed, and strung the lifeless body ur
to give the impression Of suicide. The
wife secured $4,000 life insurance.

Glendive, Mont, April 20.-A. P. Davis,
]. H. Quinton and r. M. Hall, consulting
board of engineers of the reclamation ser
vice; Frank Weymouth who made the
preliminary survey of the Yellowstone ir-
rigation canal his assistant, J. L. Kerr,
and a party Of chainmen, arrived here
yesterday afternoon pursuant to instruc-
tions from Washington. The forenoon
was spent at the headworks, the cost of
construction Of which is estimated at ST.
900, and in the afternoon the party de-
parted to make reconnaissance of the
route Of the canal as surveyed.
The canal extends from Glendive to the
Missouri river, a distance Of hundred
miles. Some $4,000 acres Of land suitable
for irrigation lies under the ditch, 10000
of which is in Montana and 10000 in
North Dakota near the confluence Of the
Yellowstone and Missouri rivers.
The canal is to be taken from the Vel
lowstone river at a point two miles above
Glendive. It does not give sufficient ele-
walton to water the land until point
fifteen miles below Glendive is reached.
Soon after the valley broadens out until
the Missouri river is reached. The land
is semiarid but fertile, and is nearly all
located and immense crops have already
been raised. Farming in the dry years
Is precarious, and hence the desire for
government aid for irrigation.
The cost of the canal is estimated at
between $1500.000 and 100000 or from
$40 to s25 an acre.
In response to a request from the recla-
nation service, the Glendive Business
Mems association sent a committee con-
sisting Of w. B. Foster, B. s. Adams and
Frank Spargur Of Glendive and Colonel F.
Malone of Miles City to the lower Yellow
stone valley to hold meeting and de-
termine the sentiment Of settlers toward
the ditch. The committee held meetings
at Tokna, Newton, Sidney and Fairview,
and found the settlers all in favor of the
canal. Over 100 subscribed their names,
agreeing to take water for their lands
from the canal at the terms offered by the
government, to be paid in ten annual pay
ments without interest, after the first
crop is raised, during which time the gov
ernment is to maintain the ditch and at
all time in the future maintain the cost
Of the headworks.
The committee says great interest is
manifested in the lower valley. About all
| the available land under the proposed
canal has been located and land values
| have increased greatly.
| AS both Montana and North Dakota are
| interested In the project there is little
doubt but that the report of the consult
! ing board Of engineers will be favorable
The members Of the board have just ar
rived from the Salt river valley in Ari-
| zona where government irrigation
project Is being exploited, and when the
! work is completed here they will go tc
Belle Fourche, S. D., where they have g
feasible project under consideration.
