Protivin's Prosperity.

A visit to Protivin last week revealed
unusual building activity in that pros
porous and growing little village. The
most important building of course is
the new church, which is being rapidly
pushed by large force of workmen.
The church when completed will cost
in the neighborhood of $50, 900 and will
be the equal of any similar structure in
northeastern Iowa. The erection of
such building in an inland town and
SO small village as this speaks well
for the citizenship and Christian spirit
OF the community. The people there
are abundantly able to meet the expen-
Sc of their new church and are en-
thusiastic in the project. For example,
the new stained glass windows costing
$llOO are already bought and paid for
and there are more applications to furn-
ish than there are windows in the build
ing.
John Bader has put up a fine two
story residence and there are two or
three others to follow; the largest be-
ing one to be erected by Robert KLEIN
ish, for which the foundation has al
ready been completed. This residence
will do credit to any town and will cost
complete in the neighborhood of $4,000.
1t is strictly modern in design and con-
struction and will be furnished on both
floors with private water works sys-
TEN operated by air pressure.
The village blacksmith, John Shin
delar, has just completed big shop,
part of which is devoted to his feed
grinding business which keeps him busy
good part of the time and for which
he is well equipped with good machinery
and large gasoline engine.
Tom Chyle has built new post office,
and here and there are evidences of
other improvements in the way of new
barns and improvements to residences.
A visit to the creamery found John
Dostal, the boss butter maker, busy
making cream tests. Several improve
ments have been made here since our
last visit; among them, new cement
floor and a Encouragement of tanks
that is time saver and consequently a
money saver for this prosperous insti-
tuition.
The water works system installed
here last season is giving excellent
satisfaction, and with their equipment
of cart and hose furnishes good fire
protection for the village.
AS an index of the amount of bust
ness carried on in this village, Mr..
Klemish, the implement dealer, rcited
us some of the sales his firm has made
this year. They carry large stock of
farm machinery and during the prese MT
season have sold two car loads of ma
nure spreaders, 81 corn plows, 81 hay
leaders and six separators, with their
entire stack of binders already sold out.

I rise to a question of special

report in the Atlanta Constitution

make my own the statement quoted Z
from the bishop referred to, That
calling the Bible the Word OF God
has been one Of the most prolific
sources OF inhdellty,'" and not that
the Bible itself is such q source.
In answer to this. there appeared
in the Atlanta Georgian OF October
18th a statement from the repre-
sentative OF the Hearst News Ser
vice at this convention, as follows
(quoting): Cdr. Wilmer did posi-
lively make the statement ascrlbed
to him In the story. I took notes
on his speech. and in speaking. OF
