According to Carol Wright, general
attorney for the Rock Island & Pacific
railway company for Iowa and South
Dakota, the railroads operating in this
state have been doing business at a
very close margin of profit, in fact
their net earnings not being sufficient
to pay interest on the cost of the
roads. The smaller lines like the
Great Northern, Rock Island and the
Minneapolis & ST. Louis, have been
doing business at a loss, while the
Milwaukee and North Western have
been able to pay only very small
dividend. On the showing which the
roads will be able to make in the
courts Mr.. Wright thinks there is lit
tie chance for the y cent passenger
rate being put in effect in this state
He regards the hostility manifested
toward the roads as inimicle to the
best interest of the state and
believes that the present attitude
of the state administration towards
the railroads will indefinitely delay
the further extension of lines of road
in this state and retard any further
Improvements by roads already oper,
ating here. .-Huronite,
Queer, isn't it, that most of the
roads in this state have operated al
a loss, and on only two lines have
paid small dividend? And yet these
roads are willing to operate at loss
if they can only keep the loss where
it has been all these years-it's the
half cent mile they have been charg

while that breaks the camePs back

WE note from some ofour exchanges
that the Kimball Graphic is credited
with defending the saloon on the
ground that money spent for booze
is no more wasted than the money
spent for soda water and and dozen
and one things we don't need. The
Graphic is right as to the waste of
money spent for either. But the diff
ference lies chiefly in the fact that
there is not so much drunk and fool
cussedness in the soda water. Meth
er does the latter create an appetite
that will cause a man to neglect his
family. The fact is that there is nc
case on record where man ever ac
quired such an appetite for soda wat

% In reaching the industrial classes plans
will be made for forming Bible classes
among the workingmen of community
for getting their attendance at meetings
of an evangelistfc character and in other
ways putting the Christian religion before
the workers. Mr.. Arnold will go first
through the south, visiting cotton mill
centers. Thence he will proceed topthe
Pacific coast, up to Seattle and back along
the northern border of the country. He
will remain several days at each of the
associations located in manufacturing
centers, conducting evangeistic cam
paigns and giving suggestions to the To-
cal religious work directors.
How the association is to draw the i'm
migrants into its membership is another
problem which Mr.. Arnold will aim to
solve. Not only will he visit the ports to
which these people come. but he will
they flock in large numbers. On his first
trip he will make several stops in the

in this expression Of her poverty, she
made no reference to Ruth. the one who
had, with beautiful devotion consecrated
her all to become her comfort and sup

row for the time quite drove out of her

CONCLUSION.-The central figure
in our lesson Is Ruth. 1t was very
proper to give her name to the whole
book, for she is its heroine. The great
thought is the power of love. not love

not the love OF God for man John. iii:18),
the theme of redemption, but the love OF

largest possible sacrifice. Whence came
that love? What caused 1t to spring up
in the heart of one who had been reared
outside the household of faith who had
worshiped idols. Was 1t a product OF
welded life? Did Chilion, the lamented
husband, carry into his home such rever-
ence for God and mother as to win his
wife? Was Naomi SO beautiful and low
ing as to draw out these emotions like
the tendrils of the vine? Did Divine
grace work In this woman's heart? Or

was 1t necessary for Him to be 20 bornf
Answer. The doctrine of the virgin
birth Is in the Apostles Greed. It is be-
Heved by most Christians that 1t Is i'm
piled in the first promise Of Q Redeemer
Gen, iii:15): predicted in the prophets
Qsa.. vii:14), and fulfilled In the advent
(Matt., f:23; Luke i:2O. The claim Is that
the Divine paternity Of Jesus was impor-
tant to support His divinity. But some
expositors contend that this was not nee
essary. and that the passages may be
otherwise interpreted. It would seem
that the words of the angel to Joseph are
sufficient to settle the controversy (Matt..
i:2O,25). That godly man was minded to
break his engagement until supernatural
ly assured of Mary's virtue (Matt., i:19).
