The statement of ]. ]. Hill in this
city last Thursday relative to the fall
of the Red River per mile, was UNDER
stood in several ways Two at least
of the drainage engineers in attend
ance, understood that Mr.. HILL said
five or six feet to the mile, but others

an article headed President Hill
Erred by J. T. Stewart. Now as 1
was in a position that enabled me to
hear distinctly every word the gentle
man said and was particularly atten-
tive to his remarks, am positive that
he said that the Red river had a fall
of from five to six inches to. the mile,
of from five to six feet, as quoted
hardly think 1t fair that the state
ment should stand uncontradicted,
even If alleged to have been uttered by
railway magnate.

INTERESTING MEETINGS.
DR.. E. 2. Robertson IL Conducting q
Series Of Afternoon Talks For Men +
at tle Y. M. g.. A..

at the Y. NJ. G. A.
Yesterday afternoon Dr.. E. P. Rob-
ertson, president OF Wesley college
of this city, gave a very interesting
talk to men at the Y. M. c.. A. The
meetings occur every Sunday after
noon and are proving Of great interest
to the men, old and young. The doc
tor is especially strong with meetings
of this kind and gets to the meat of
the matter in hand with directness
and effectiveness
Yesterday afternoon he used as a
scripture lesson the mandate OF Christ
to the rich young man to give up all
he had, sell his goods and give the
money to the poor and follow Him.
The young man refused to do it and as
a result he missed undying fame and
an opportunity to do great good in the
world.
In contrast to this he read the ac-
count of the conversion of. Saul and
the great fame and work which re-
suited from his call to forsake all and
follow Christ. DR.. Robertson does not
believe that all men are called upon to
give up their wealth when converted,
but must do SO If it is demanded.

CHURCHES
COMPLIMENTS
ENERGY
Rev. j. NJ. Beadles Says That Sin is
hisconducted Energy-Bad Sinners
Make Good Church Members When
Once Converted.

make GOOd Church Members When
Once Converted.
The Rev. j. NJ. Beadles, pastor of the
First Methodist church, preached an
original and powerful sermon last
evening on the destructiveness and i'm
mutable nature of sin. Rev. Beadles
is preacher of unusual originality in
the presentation of the truths which
are as old as the bible ITSELF His dis
course last evening abounded in cpl
gramatic statements and simple but
vivid illustrations. The members of
the First Methodist church are to be
congratulated on securing pastor of
Mr.. Beadle's mental caliher and ora
torfcal ability.
The discourse begun with the gen.
eral statement that sin destroys itself.
God never destroyed man or a peo-
pie; they destroyed themselves Sin
leaves It's marks even where it does
not destroy; God may heal the wound,
but the scar remains; man is never
as pure and strong after sin has
been committed as he was before; the
mark of 1t remains for all eternity.
Sin is constant factor in the world.
We often think that the people and
cities Of ancient times were very sim
full; they were, but there is sin just
as gross In the world today. To be
sure we are more refined and indulge
in refined sins, but refinement does not
mitigate the destructiveness of sin.
Being sorry enough to STOP was
Rev. Beadles' definition of repentance.
He alleged that neither sorrow for sin
nor mental attitude of accepting
Christ as the Saviour was repentance,
means the stopping of sin and the
turning about; a feeling of dissatisfac-
ton with existing conditions and an
attempt to change them
"Sin is misdirected energy" The
gambler and the saloon keeper of East
Grand Forks who attends to business
and is on the move, would make bet
ter member of his church, declared Mr..
Beadles, than the slovely business man
who got down town in the afternoon.
The men who sin, are usually endowed
with unusual energy and 1t is misdi-
rected, Once started in the right d.
rection they make good men.

make the hauling that commenced dur

other steps easy and rapid.
