The subject for morning was
"Walking with Cod and at the
mens' meeting the address was an
appeal to the nobility in man, the
dignity OF his soul. Some went eX-
5ipecting a meeting for s.men onlyn
to be what they often aye, a sordid
picture o. personal an civic disease

grand opportunities of manhood, es-
peciallY in the great vest and the

Evidently DR.. Mead's method is to
analyze and picture sin and its havoc
in life 10 no uncertain or timid or
partial manner. but only to make it
the background for q like keen analy-
sis and inspiration of the sublime
possibilities in man when he gets

THE INFLUX OF SETTLERS

button north and west. and the days
have heen rare in the past two or
three weeks when the enligrants have

Since the movement first started

OF so much of an effort i'm these DAYS
to turn the attention of the eastern
people toward the Dakotas as it was

are buying South Dakota lands at
higher..priccs and with a greater de-
Sire THAN in the time when they could
get it for a much lower figure. The
land has proven itself of value. has
demonstrated that with an average
season that crops can be grown slc

it is 0 pursuing against the beef
