Topic: THE Value of Decision Ephesians
iv:l4, 10; James, Ills
Ephesians, iv:14.-That we henceforth be
no more children, tossed to and fro and
carried about with every wind Of doctrine,
by sleight of men and cunning craftiness,
whereby they lie in wait to deceive:
10 But speaking the truth In love- may
grow up into Him In all things, which is
the head, even Christ.
James, 1.-James, a servant of God and
OF the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve
tribes which are scattered abroad, greeting:
2 My brethren, count 1t all joy when We
fall into divers temptations:
g. knowing this, that the trying of your
faith worketh patience.
L. But let patience have her perfect work,
that ye may be perfect and entire, wanting
nothing.
D. If any of you lack wisdom let him ask
of God, that giveth to all men literally and
upbraideth not and it shall be given him.
g. But let him ask in faith. nothing waver-
ing. for he that wavereth is like wave OF
the sea driven with the wind and tossed
T. For let not that man think that he shall
receive anything of the Lord.
s. doube-minded man is unstable in all
his ways.
The Lesson.
DIR. Chapman tells how he once lay in
agony upon his couch, tormenting his mind
with some doctrine of theology which he
could not understand and believe. Fol
hours his brain beat itself out upon the
question until at last he thought he would
have TO give up the ministry il he could
not reconcile this doctrine in his mind
Then all at once II came to him that such
men as Gladstone had been able to accep,
the doctrine, and perhaps he, too. would be
able to do some time Meantime there was
enough in the Bible that he could believe
and did most heartily He believed enough
OF the vital essential truths. He resolved
TO leave this one In the Lords hands and
believe II anyway. He says now that that
doctrine is the strongest one in his creed
and has been more blessed to him personally
and in his work than any other one doc
trine in the Bible. This is a notable illus
tratlon OF the promise, ale that doeth His
Will shall know of the doctrine whether 4,
be of God
DR.. Talmage used to tell how one day
while he was questioning his theological
professor about some mysteries of the
Bible the professor turned on him and said
Mr. Talmage, yeu Will have to let God
know some things you don't"
1T is the privilege of every child of God
to know that he is saved. and yet l find
ever go many people believe in DOUBLING
Castle. Why its is salvation by doubts now
adays, instead of by faith: there are so few
that dare to say. I know that my Re
deemer llveth: l know in whom / have be-
heved. We find most Christians nowadays
shivering and trembling from head to foot
they do not know whether they are saved
or not" d. l.. MOODY

The announcement that the Knights of
Columbus considering the raising of a
fund OF half n million dollars in the inter
est OF the Catholic University of America,
at BroOkland, ID. c.. has created great
deal of interest in Catholic and other
church circles. This fund will be employed
to increase the efficiency of the divinity de-
paTtment of the university. and, as eX-
planned. is expected to benefit every Cath
Ollie diocese in the United States.
After the fund is completed, set under
way. each diocese will be privileged to send
a seminarian priest to the Catholic Uni
versity free of charge Thus will the
Knights of Columbus be exercising prac-
Catholic Church In this country by provld-
ing the means for increasing the useful
ness OF its student clergy. There were a
hundred students in the divinity depart
ment Of the university last year, and should
this plan be carried out as outlined-with a
free student from each diocese in the
Countrywide student body under that fac
ulty would almost double itself
There are in round numbers about 100000
members of the Knights of Columbus In
the United States and its possessions, Can
that the most equitable means for raising
this fund among the membership of the
order would be for each member to con-
tribute yearly 80 cents, continuing the pay
ments for five years Thus at the end OF
that time the knights of Columbus would
have in cash half million dollars to pre-
sent to the Catholic University OF America,

although this may not affect us 80
much, but this will be the natural
center of the state and we feel that
we Will advance with the growth of
the population throughout the entire
state. So, fellow citizens, look in
time to see things moving along more
rapidly than they have. We have an
other new institution, our Indian
school will be built in due time, our
state Is continuing to grow and our
city will multiply as the years go by
and in after years you will be proud
to visit your state capitol. We have
down south tract of land that Is
to be used for fair grounds and you
will sometime probably attend the
state fair here. (Great applause). All
the state will be proud of Bismarck.
Now, fellow-citizens, when you come
back We will be glad to welcome you

We are glad to see you assembled
here tonight and to welcome the real

that the people of this city have treat

your consideration and when you go
home you will feel justly proud of
them.
Now. in conclusion, inasmuch as
this is continuous performance and
several stars appear and there are
others yet to hear from, just want to
say to you that as we all go to build
up this great state and everything rad
iates from our great state capitol, that
there Is no room for envy, no hatred,
but only love of the people of a COM
mon state for their great state capitol.

Minnesota. It did not for Wisconsin
nor Nebraska. There is no over
whelming reason why it should. The
early settlers all remember how the
entire Ingham family came so near
freezing to death on a trip from Esth-
erville to Algona that their preseva-
ton was accounted an accident or an
interposition of providence, perhaps
that the present editor of the Register
and Leader might furnish brains for
the progressives.
1t is we'll remembered how in this
garden spot of the world, not to men
ton the fifties and sixties of the pio-
neer settlement, when there was not
a railroad in the county, We had win
tiers to match anything that is report
ed now from the northwest, in the sew
enties the one railroad through this
county was blockaded for months at a
time. There was great indignation
against the Milwaukee when such con-
ditions existed long, and only occa-
sional sled loads of mail were hauled
through the drifts from Mason City
to Algona. At one time Governor Car
penter was appealed to to force the
company to clear the road. In the
course of time the road was cleared,
and there were piles Of snow on either
side of the rails which completely
shut out all view OF the landscape
from the passengers.
In one winter since this writer set
tied in Algona upwards of twenty peo-
pie, in this section, were frozen to
death, most of them being lost in the
billiards.. Not merely the severity Of
the weather was to be feared, but the
extreme poverty of people who are
now wealthy added it's discourage
ments. A lady who came here in the
latter sixties as a bride and who was
dressed in the height of fasion no.
ticed that at a reception given by the
settlement all the men on the opposite
side of the room were barefoot, and
the best and leading people of the
county were there.
The climate of this section has been
greatly modified in recent years. The
blizzard has disappeared. 1t has been
banished to distant fortiers to be
again banished to solitudes beyond.
Average temperatures have been
much reduced. AS the Dakotas plant
trees and cultivate the soil the same
changes will take place there. The
growing belief is justified that this
whole northwest was destined to be
the home of great people and of
great wealth. Settlement may halt
for time or may even be swept back
ward, but only to set forward again
like the irresistible tides which obey
the purposes of Him who sits in the
heavens.

Breaking in of the Seine Patrol One
Of the Sights of Paris.

The training of the young New
foundlands that NJ. Lepine periodically
adds to his staff is one of the sights
of Paris. 1t takes place in the head
quarters Of the agents plongeurs,
small building on the quay side not
far from the Cathedral of Notre Dame.
Dogs and men enter into the exercise
with zest and there is usually a crowd
OF onlookers. Only dummy figures are
used, but the rescue" is nevertheless
a very realistic affair. The big dogs
know perfectly well what the exer-
else means, and they wait with comic
enthusiasm until the dummy is thrown
into the water and an agent plongeur
PUSHES out on hearing the splash and
the cutlery of spectators While the
men are busy with lines and life
buoys the dog plunges into the water,
swims to the dummy, watches with
rare intelligence for an opportunity
to get an advantageous hold, and then
1t either swims ashore or waits for
its master, who brings to the rescue
long poles, cork belts and the like.
The more experienced dogs, however,
will easily effect a rescue from first to
last without human assistance, and 1t
is an inspiring sight to watch them
looking for foothold on the slippery
sides of the river bank, and pulling the
heavy dummy into place of safety.
1t takes about four months to train
the dogs sufficiently. They are also
charged with the protection of their
masters when attacked by the desper-
ate ruffians who sleep under the arch
es Of the bridges in summer. Thus
in Paris also the police dogs are a
proved success.

AUDITOR WILMANN HELD
GRASS SALES, up NORTH
Disposed Of Several Tracts at Kelliher
and Blackduck---SmaIl Attend
ance at Sales.

Auditor Wilmann returned this
morning from his official visits to
Kelliher and Blackjack. where he
went to hold sales of privileges to
cut grass on state lands. He dis
posed of the rights on several tracts
at each place, but the sales were not
nearly as good as he had expected.
Mr.. Wilmann cut OUT the pro.
posed sale at Tenstrike, which was
to have been held today, owing to
the fact that every able-bodied man,
woman and child had left the town
for Bemidji to attend the Wild West
show.
MI. Wilmann desires the Pioneer
to state that anyone who may want
to secure the grass on any of the
lands may do SO by applying to him,
at the auditors office.
A sale will be held at the court
house Monday.
