THEOLOGY AND THE GOSPEL.

eve lay theology aside, and preach
the simple Gospel What a contradict
ton is contained in those words, AS
if one could LAY theology aside, and
preach the simple Gospel" The terms
of technical and scientific theology may
be laid aside. But there is no truth
of the Gospel SO simple" as to have
no place in theology. Webster defines
theology as the science of God and
and divine things Can one preach
the simple Gospel wiLnout preaching Of
God and divine things? If one should
tell the truth about the stars, their
movements and relations, he would be
teaching astronomy, though it be done
in language so plain that child would
understand it, And if one is preaching
the Gospel, he is teaching theology.

Without much regard to the facts in
the case, statements are commonly
made to the effect that all the wealth
of the country is passing out of the
hands of the common people. Other
statements imply that the prosperity of
the country is bound up in the strife
between labor and capital. But how
about the farmer who, during the past
year, produced crops valued at over
three billion dollars and meat worth
over two billion? The trusts and com
binations did not get all this money.
The bank accounts of Western farmers
and the savings-banks throughout the
country show a vast increase of distri-
buted wealth. The total amount of
property in the country last year WITS

A FINE CONCERT.

The manager of the Y. M.
G. A associations entertainment
course should not be quite so
modest about letting the public
know about their attractions,
for some people in Grand Forks
missed a magnificent treat which
was given as an extra number Of
the associations course at the
First Baptist church last evening
The entertainment given by the
Chicago Lincoln quartet was of
the kind that makes everyone
better for having heard it.
Every number on the program
was rendered with splendid eff
feet. There was variety enough
to hold the interest of the aud.
fence to the last minute and
continued encores were a feature
of the evening. This is the first
appearance of the quartet in the
northwest, but if it's present per-
sonnet is maintained some of the
better known organizations will
need to look to their laurels.
Mr.. Wardwell, the tenor soloist
of the quartet and reader, is a
former North Dakotan from
Pembina, who has been for some
years singing in Chicago. The
pianist and accompanist, Miss
Carney, was also specially fine.
The program included solos,
duets, quartets, a musical
comedy and readings as we'll.

PEER IN BEASTS EYES
SCIENTISTS MAKE ExAMINA-
TION OF THEIR OPTICS.
Risky Work Which Is Carried On at
Chicago Zoo by Investigators
Who Would Study Ways Of
Wild Animals.

Chicago.-To catch a tiger or a lion
and make scientific examination OF
his eyes is not a task that appeals to
the average oculist.
The study of the eyesight of wild
animals is branch of science little
known, but much interest was aroused
among Chicago physicians by an illus
trated lecture given by DR.. Casey A.
Wood. of Chicago, before the Amer
lean Academy OF Medicine at its an
nual meeting in the Northwestern
university building.
Dr.. Wood gave to DR.. George Lind.
say Johnson and Arthur w. Head, the
latter an artist, credit for much sci
entifc knowledge.
The tasks undertaken by these men
in studying the eyes Of wild animals
exposed them to perils.
They investigated the eyes of the
lion, tiger, rhinoceros, bear, gorilla,
, camel, zebra, kangaroo, polecat and
many others. More perilous still, they
made experiments on the eyes Of the
largest python obtainab1e. They
peered deeply into the orbs of several
crocodiles and other members of the
same family.
The investigators wished to know
why the rays of light flashed in the
darkness by some of the wild beasts
were red, some green and some yellow.
They were anxious to learn what dis
ease of the eye affected wild animals.
and what defects of vision existed,
Ihey were Curious as to the powers OF
conveyance.
In doing this work the scientists
employed an ophthalmoscope, which is
an instrument for looking into the
interior of the eye. A kerosene light
was used, and when the rays were
| turned into the animals orbs the fury
OF the creature would have passed all
bounds had not the precaution been
taken first to bind the beasts, cover
them with nets and muzzle them.
In some instances atropine, cocaine
or other drugs were used, and at first
general anaesthetics were tried. hut
the latter treatment proved undesir-
able.
In the examination it often became
necessary to hold the eyelids of lions
apart with the fingers, a task calcu-
lated to send shivers down the backs
OF the workers. Special instruments
were used to measure the refraction,
angle or optic divergence and other
ocular conditions.
4 One Of the striking results Of the
work was the discovery Of the variety
and intensity of the coloration. The
