There is no section of land in the
whole western country that can compare
with central eastern Minnesota, sec
ton richly endowed by nature with
those combinations of timber, meadow
streams and pretty lakes of purest
water, with railroad facilities, schools,
churches and climate healthful and
invigorating. The soil formation is a
rich clay loan with subsoil enduring
and sustaining. No country in the world
can stand wet weather and dry weather
as well as this section, but seldom is
there anything but normal condition
to the weather in this favored part of
Minnesota. The soil is not. of that
heavy texture that in wet weather is
doughty and in dry weather is baked
and parched. 1t is an ideal soil in every
respect. This section has become the
Mecca for the homeseeker. For that
matter, many parts of this section have
been settled for many years and those
who were wise in locating. here early
are indeed fortunate But there are
golden opportunities for many others
who will follow in the footsteps of the
wise men from the east. -
This land lies between two great COM
mercial centers- Minneapolis and St..
Paul on the south, with population Of
over 100000, and Duluth and Superior
on the north with population of 20O,-
900. 1t can readily be seen what great
market facilities these trade centers
afford. Only a few hours are required
to ship milk, cream, stock or farm pro-
duce of any kind to those cities, where
there is always big demand and at
good prices.

are not Christians. Cur characters were not impeached but our beliefs were condemned as heretical. In spite of the protests of a number of the
 most distinguished Christians scholars and leaders of other denominations
 than our own. this exclusion has now been confirmed by che action of the conference itself. The Unitarian churches are definitely omitted from the list of the Christian bodies entitled to representation in the federal coun- ell of the churches of Christ in Amer ica.
 We make no controversy over this action which put. not us, but its pro- motors at the bar of an enlightened public opinion. We affirm that the do- ing of the will of the Master is the vital thing. The Unitarian churches of America and all who desire to promote
 pure Christianity in our land should
 be glad to be confronted by stimu- lating challenge. Whatsoever good things these other denominations pro- pose to accomplish and we deeply ap- preciate the good they do, it is mani fest that, as represented by this action. they are both unwilling and unable to commit themselves to the great Chris tian principles of freedom and broth- erhood.
 Tt is for us. therefore, to urge with new insistency and in the spirit of universal fellowship the ideals of faith and conduct that lie back of all the different theologies and that breathe in the true worship of all the church. es, and to each that under the fn- spiration and life of Christ. men may here and now enter into His high di- cipleship in honest and unselfish ser- vice for the present age.
 we. therefore. appeal to all liberal Christians to put fresh courage and pa- tient devotion in their own significant work. We certainly shall not try to build higher the barriers which seem to stand between us and our brethren of other Christian communions.
 When the good time comes that our brethren in other Christian denomina- tions know us better. they will find us ready most cordially to cooperate with them and with all other religious bodies in establishing the Kingdom Of God on earth"

Affirmation Made That The Doing Of The Will Of The Master, Is

Dr. Edward Everett Hale. for mer governor John D. Long and sam ueI E. Eliot. president of the American Unitarian Association and today was forwarded in the form of a letter to the pastors of all the Unitarian church. es of Greater Boston. It will be read from the pulpits next Sunday.
 In their letter the delegates say that 1t seems timely for them to affirm anew the simple truth Proclaimed of old by Christ Himself. that righteous ness of life and spiritual efficiency rather than orthodoxy of belief in the test of Christian discipleship."
 The delegates, who had been elected by the Unitarian national conference, were debarred the privileges of talk ing part in the interchurch conference, on the ground that their denomination is, from the standpoint of the confer ence, non-evangeiical.

 4 Tuscaloosa, Dec. 7.-(Special.) )-Col E. L. Russell, vice. president of the Mobile and Ohio railroad, Manager R. V. Taylor, Hon. John D. McInnis. General Agent of Mississippi. and En- gineer B. A. Wood. spent yesterday in and around Tuscaloosa. They ar rived here in Colonel Russelfs pri- vate car. It is understood that the party were here investigating several cola mines on the Warrior River. It seems probable that the Mobile and Ohio will build spurs on both the North Port side and from the Warrior Southern some miles north of this point on this side of the river.
 During the ray the party visited the Christian Mine on the North Port side and when asked concerning the Christian seam Mir. Russell stated that the coal had been tested and found to run an engine 24 miles while the usual steam coal would only run an engine IS miles. When asked con corning the river he said that the building would probably be held up for awhile.
 John W. Cook was shot and instant ly killed yesterday by Josh Campbell. another negro boy about eighteen years of age. The tragedy occurred about four miles from this city on the Moody plantation. From what can be learned 1t seems that Cook and several other boys were engaged in cutting logs when Josh came up with a gun. One of the boys remarked that he had better be careful that the gun might go of. when Cook replied that 1t was not loaded and wouldn't hurt anybody. It is said that he then drew the gun up to his shoulder when it was dis charged. the load entering Campbelrs breast. Campbell was found by Dep- uty SheriR Barden at the boys sis- ter's home and was brought to the city.
