these words he sets forth the true
spirit Of progress
First Of all, Paul was, unlike a great
many people Of today, ready to forget
the past. Now there are great many
things from the past which we can
never get away from and do not want
to get away from them. They have
become part of our very lives. But
in a still more real way there is much
OF the past which we must leave wheth-
er we wish TO OF not There are many
things Of the past that we cannot go
back to any more than a boy of six
teen can wear the shoes he wore when
he was eight. There Is much of the
past, thank God. that the world has
outgrown and the problem of life with
many is to know what to let go and
how to do It gracefully Only as men
have learned to let some of the past
go and TO find better things has there
been any real progress. The world
Of today Is so much different than the
world OF a thousand or even a hundred
years ago that we seem to almost be-
long to a different race.
III In the Christian life we expect
to make any advancement there must
be a corresponding surrendering OF
some of the things, some of the preju-
dices some of the conceptions Of other
days. What we see today I'm the mar
velous advancement along all mater
ial lines. giving us the lightning ex-
press train in place of the OK cart,
the wireless telegraphy in place of the
human voice, the ocean greyhound in
place of the birch canoe. and the won
ders of photography in place of the
rude sketch on q piece of bone, we
see In the enlightened religious con-
ceptions of the worlds best and great
est men, al compared with the rude
superstitions, prejudices and bigoted
ideas which answered for religion in
the past.
"And then Paul was not only ready
to forget the past, but he desired to
reach forward to something better in
the future. The man who thinks the
present is good enough and that all
has been done and achieved. simply de-
ceives himself and destroys his own
usefulness. This present on which we
stand today, however bright and de-
lightful It may be as compared with
the past is only the stepping stone to
better things yet to come.
And these better things are to come
along the line of service. Every man
who has ever lived life worth living
has in some way fulfilled some noble
service to his kind. Paul desired to
receive the prize of the high calling
of Cod What was this prize? 1t was
the honor which comes to a man who
actually serves his fellows. This was
Christs great message to the world
He came to tell us the kingliness of
service. Theologians have for centuries
buried Christ's real mission to this
world under mass of speculative phil
osophy and dogmatism, and have so
often lost sight entirely of the real
import of his message to the world.
Christ came to serve. He came to tell
us to serve. and no man listened to the
high calling of God only as he sought
to grow great in noble service to his
fellow man. This is greater than creed
greater than orthodoxy greater than
mere position and theoretical correct
ness of life. 1t is the greatness Of
Christ"

Doctors Agree That Death was From

Charles Larson is the name of
the man who died at st. An

short time after being admitted
to that institution.
There was much speculation as
to the identity of Larson, as
there was absolutely nothing on
his person to indicate who he
was, what was his occupation or
his place Of residence. AS the
man did not volunteer any in
formation concerning himself
and appeared unable or unwilling
to answer any inquiries, it was
impo ssible to ascertain any def
mite information as to his name,
etc.
Coroner Marcum examined the
remains and concurred in the

Larson died from natural causes,
was not the victim of any violence,
nor did he take any drug of any
kind.

MEASURES for Preventing

Slashings Dry and Catch Fire Very
Easily, Starting Big Con-
tlagrations.

NOrtnOne,OCL. lO.-lle NOrCn-
ONE Commercial club is consider
ing the problem of adopting
measures that will prevent forest
fires in the north country, by
destroying the refuse and slash
.ings left b. loggers who, when
they have cut the pine and other
tim ber, leave the tops and limbs
to dry and become as tinder, fuel
for destructive ires. The club,
at a recent meeting, adopted
resolutions favoring the passing
Of a state law at the next session
of the legislature requiring log
gers, in all operations, to burn
the slashings left after the logs
are cut. .s. HI
There has always been more
or less danger in this community
from forest fires, since logging
operations have been carried on.
The tops and slashings have been
left in large piles, have dried
until they are as lnflam mable as
powder, and whenever a fire has
once gotten a start it has swept
over a large territory in a short
time. AS the country is becom
ing more thickly settled, the
danger of fire is greater, as the
homesteader, in clearing his
land, must of necessity burn the
refuse unmerchantable tim Der,
with the ever-present danger of
igniting the piles left for years
by loggers. T.. ID.
The loggin operationss-whieh
have been carried on at the
.Chippewa Indian reservation,
under the provisions Of the
Morris Chippewa law, have
demonstrated that the slashings
and refuse left from logging can
be entirely burned and cleaned
up for the small sum of fifteen
cents per thousand feet of logs
cut from the tim Der. The Morris
law makes it imperative that the
slashings be burned, and they
have been burned very easily,
although it was contended at the
time of the passage of the Morris
law that the slashings, being
taken from green pine trees,
could not be burned for at least
a year after the pine was cut.
This contention was proven un-
true, and for the last three
winters the slashings have been
burned but a week or ten days
after they were piled.
It is doubtful if such a law
could be, passed in the legisla
ture; but if it could, the benefits
70 this country would be many
fold. ~.... 49,. @

City Council Buys 600 Feet Of "Red
Cross" at Cost Of
$3.50.
Department HAS BEEN BADLY
HANDICAPPED IN THE PAST
Council Listened TO Hose EIoquence"
Last Night for Several
Hours.

The city council last night
closed deal for 600 more feet of
new fire hose. The lucky seller
is the Eureka Fire Hose company
of Minneapolis, and the price
paid is eighty cents foot, or
$3.50 for the order.
There was lively competition
among three companies last night
to sell the city, and the council
learned more about hose in the
two or three hours it took to con-
slider the matter than it had ever
known before. Clever statesmen
representing, besides the Eureka
company, the Waterous Engine
Works company of St. Paul and
the W. S. Mott company of Min
neapolis explained at length the
merits of their lines, and sam
pies were piled on the council
table foot high, or less.
The eighty cent hose, while 1t
was not the cheapest hose offered
last night, is of a superior make,
and the council was satisfied that
it was the best for the uses of
city the size of Bemidji. It is
guaranteed for six years and will
stand pressure of 400 pounds
Il, the square inch. The hose
will be shipped al o1ce.
The council allowed Bos worth
Bros. Of Ada, the contractors who
built the local sewers a balance of
$2,498. 81 on account. There will
be due still some $257 when the
last man-hole covers are placed,
an1 this will be paid as soon as
the work is done and the contract
completed.
