Must EnObIc Individual.

THE average minister does not feel
justified in putting forth the Same eff
fort in preaching to a few as he does
to large gathering. He does not re-
alze that the best results are attained
by applying the truths of Christianity
TO the individual. How many minis
ters know the members of their flock
even by name? They fail to impress
upon their members the great impor-
lance of the individual in the social
structure To elevate the mass, the
individual must be enobled, his feeling
of obligation to fellow-men deepened,
and his efforts so directed as to be
subservient to true fellowship.
ut was Christ who discovered the
individual, in that He gave the world
new conception of man and new
estimate of the worth of the individual.
He loved man, because He saw in him
Gods handiwork, the image of the
Creator, and the object of Gods love.
Christ received into His kingdom all
classes of men, high and low; in all
He recognized an iaherent worth and
possibility. Neither the rags of the

new of Augustana college took occa-
sion to criticise the pulpit in failing
to make more practical applications of
the teachings of Christ. Dr.. Bartholo-

greatest sociological truths, that have
ever been uttered, and that He showed
the true way by solving the social
problems of the age by raising the in
dividual.
'The tendency of the pulpit" said
DR.. Bartholomew, has been and is TO
seek distant and vague ideal instead
of applying the teachings of Christ to
the social problems of the day. The
few ministers who do apply these
Christian truths are looked upon as
promulgators of new ideas, since this
phase of Christianity has been rele-
gated to the background. The danger
of placing the mass above the individ-
ua is as great within the church as it
is within the state.

Important
Petition On
Appeal

A matter of considerable interest and
not a little Importance, to local prac-
titoners is now before the Supreme
Court, in petition for a rehearing in
the case of G. w. Forester VS.. A. NJ.
Hurtt The petition was filed by P L.
Weaver as attorney for the defendant.
A few days ago the Supreme Court
handed down an opinion on a bill Of
exceptions for the plaintiff that decided
in favor Of Forester, the decision of
the lower court being Overruled. The
matter had come up in the lower court
in an action by Forester to secure a
judgment against HURT for medical at
tention given the wife of HURT, while
she was living in California At the
time Of the services We're rendered the
wife and HURT had separated. 1t was
claimed by HURT that he could not live
with his wife, because Of her cruelty.
Subsequently, a divorce was secured by
HURT, upon those grounds. Following
that decree of divorce, the suit was
Instituted by Forester When the case
came to trial certain facts Of record in
the divorce court relative to the cruelty
Of the wife, were admitted, without any
objection on the part Of the attorneys
for Forester. The decision was given
in favor of HURT. An appeal was
taken to the Supreme Court by Forces
ter And the decision in his favor was
secured.
1t is now contended by Weaver for
the defendant, and respondent, that the
Supreme Court went into the csse ana
gave its opinion upon certain matters
that were brought not before it on the
Dill Of exceptions. The ground upon
which Weaver asks for a rehearing is
In effect the fact that the Supreme
Courtd isregarded a rule of practice in
these courts which has heretofore pro-
hipited the court from entering into
the consideration Of matters not
brought before II on exceptions.

New Rule
Causes
Trouble
THE SUPERVISORS MUST BE
CONSULTED BEFORE PENCILS
ARE PURCHASED.

The new ruling of the Board Of
Supervisors to the effect that none Of
the County officers can purchase any
supplies without consulting the chair
man Of the committee of the Board of
Supervisors covering thst matter, is
causing considerable trouble about the
corridors Of the County's executive
building.
For instance a certain County officer
wished a half dozen pencils. He
straightway hied himself to the office
Of the committee on finance or trade or
of the Supervisor who was chairman OF
whatever committee was proper and
asked to see that gentleman. He was
out. However after a few trips he
was found and the following CONVERSE
ton took place;
The County officer: please, most
reverend sir, may / expend Of the
County's bank account enough filthy
lucre to obtain a half dozen pencils?"
The supervisor pondered, consulted
several books of statistics, rang up the
County treasurer and replied: Eyes,
my child, you may do so this once, but
mind they be cheap ones. Now go
forth and sin no more"
1t is highly immaterial that there is
specified sum appropriated every
month for incidentals for the use Of
the County offices.

The Japan Weekly Mail thus sum-
marizes a theory to which other Jap
anese papers give currency attributing
it to a well-informed official: 1T in
dicates that the source of the agita-
ton is in Hawaii, To the planters in
the Sandwich Islands Japanese labor
is essential. Without it their sugar in
dustry could not be successfully car
ried on, and Of course the sugar indus
try means the life of Hawaii. Now It
appears that the price of japanese Ia
Dor has been kept so 10 win Hawaii
that many Of the Japanese are leaving
the islands to seek their fortunes in
the United States, and unless this can
be stopped the sugar-pIanters will find
themselves in an embarrassing posi-
ton. They could check the exodus by
paying higher wages, but naturally
they shrink from that resource if any
alternative can be contrived. The san
Francisco agitation constitutes an al
tentative. San Francisco IS the gate
through which the Japanese from Ha-
wall reach the States; and If that gate
can be closed Hawaii may count on

Lutherans at Tofte to Have Nice
Church Building.

The Norwegian Lutherans of Tote
have commenced work upon a church
building at that place. Much of the
necessary material is already on the
ground and the work will be pushed as
rapidly as possible. It is expected that
it will be ready for use in about SIX
weeks. though it may not be completed
by that time.
The building IS to be 26x36, 14-ft-
walls. The plans do not include very
elaborate tinishings for the present
1t will be neat and comfortable build
ing, amply providing for the needs of
the congregation and will be credit to
the place. 1t will cost, when completed,
about $4,000, but all the labor will be
contributed by the parishioners, reduc-
Ing the necessary cash outlay to about
