listeners to the sermon of DIR. Ray
Palmer, whose text was from "the
worlds greatest prayer: Deliver us
from evil" The speaker made clear
that the greatest difficulty in Chris
tian work is to impress the people
with the fact of evil in the world.
The world condones sin-winks at It;
even Christians are slow to denounce
or renounce sin for many reasons,
mostly selfish ones. DR.. Palmer says
he believes in personal devil. He has
not seen his majesty, but he has seen
his footprints" on many occasions and
in many places. And the audience
agreed that the footprints as explain
ed seemed to indicate the near pres
ence of 'old nick" The subject to-
night will be, Can a Thief or a Rob-
Der Be Saved?" 1t is taken from the
scene of the crucihxion.

TO SEE WORLDS FAIR.
The Minneapolis Tribune to
Send 104 Ladies all Expen-
ses Paid-Automobiles
And Pianos Also
Given Away.

"On TO 100, 000' was the inspiring
motto adopted by the Minneapolis Tri-
bune management last January, that
being the mark set for the circulation
of the enterprising and wide-awake
newspaper. The point reached by Sept.
lst, was $1,000, and the campaign had
really only just begun.
The latest phase of this battle for
supremacy in the newspaper field of the
northwest is the voting contest now in
progress for the selection of fifty-two
ladies in the Tribune territory to enjoy
a trip TO the Worlds Fair at St. Louis
with all that implies, as the guests of
the management. The magnitude of
this scheme is shown by the fact that it
will cost the Tribune a cool 81, 10000 to
meet all the conditions of the contest,
including the choice of a travelling COM
panion, a trip down the picturesque
Mississippi, returning by a special Pull
man train; accommodations at the
Hotel Hamilton, a first class $500 a day
house, convenient to the Exposition
grounds; free entrance to the grounds
and special privileges ON the Pike,
assuring every visitor the fullest
measure of entertainment during the
ten days comprised in the excursion.
But this is not all in a contest which
already includes several thousand
names, but a limited number can win
the grand prizes. In addition to the
l04 Worlds Fair trips, therefore, six
valuable prizes are offered-a So, 800. 90
Winton Touring Car: a 81, $50. 90 Ram
bier Touring car; a $4,000 Oldsmobile
Touring car; a Quarter Grand CHECKER
ing Piano; an $500 90 Baby Grand Kim
ball Piano; and another of well known
make. Already the voting has reached
an exciting stage, but the real struggle
has only just begun. The last few
weeks will be the liveliest of the CON
test, and the fact that Miss Irene Arthur
a resident of this city is well up in the
list gives this community a particular
interest in the outcome. This COM
munity has considerable civic pride and
will not, we believe, allow itself to be
beaten by any other. So we predict
that our friend Miss Arthur will not
only see the Fair, but that she will win
N of the grand prizes.
