afternoon The battle will be Waged Saturday evening"

The annual baseball game of the
city officials VS.. the county officials
will be played on the diamond in
the downtown baseball park Satur-
day evening at $50 o'clock, and
there is going to be whole lot
doing" between now and then in
the nature of preparation for the
contest.
Last year the city officials and
the county officials played ball and
the city officials simply walked all
over the representatives of the
county-in fact they beat them to
a frappee. The city officials have
not forgotten the enjoyable SEN
sation experienced by the winning
Of the game last year and they
are anticipating another winning

Old Hoss" Conger is trying out
his county candidates in the back

John Bailey has been running as
candidate for county treasurer for
three days and has already reduced
his weight fifteen pounds, so it is
safe to presume that he will be in
good condition Saturday evening.

sonal work is hard work but it is the
all essential work.
Ministers are not to be measured
by their intellectual power or their
ability along social lines, but as
winners of souls. And this work is
not confined to the ministery but the
people are also to be engaged in
this effort to extend the Savior's
kingdom. The people cannot shift
their responsibility by paying their
pastor. Something large and definite
will be accomplished when the
church takes hold of this work as it
ought to be. Though not generally

physical conditions is concerned
the whole county team ought to be
in fine fettle.
1t is somewhat different with the
members of the city team. How
ever, Mayor Pogue has had strenu-
Gus year of it and it is safe to
presume that his physical condition
is about right. However, City Attor-
ney Gibbons and Chief of Police
Knox are in a condition that would
rival the prize porker at a county
fair, and they must needs take off
some of their averdupois if they wish
to play in Saturdays game. f..
President Gould, being the head
of the new lumber company, is
always in good condition. Ill., e
City Clerk Maloy will probably
not play, but he will undoubtedly be
present to lend his usual moral sup
port to Mayor Pogue.

decided that total abstinence are at
least forty percent better than
moderate drinkers. Medical science
is with US, tor it is now determined
that alcohol has not food value.
1t will not sustain the body and as
medicine there are many better
substitutes. Alcohol depresses
rather than stimulates. a. ...
Patent nostrums containing alco-
hal should be carefully avoided by
the people. If anyone is sick he
should secure the services of a
reputable physician. There are
many organizations to fight this
evil, and their work has been greatly
blessed, so that at least forty five
per cent of the territory of the
United States is now prohibition.
There are four stages in every great
moral reform. First, when it is
ignored and dispised, second, when
it is denounced, third, when it is
acknowledged as theoretically right
but impractical, fourth, when it is
accepted, adopted and applied.
Temperance agitation has gained the
first three of these. Il
DR.. Luccock. People of Power"
Text, Dan. 11-32.
Every christian man and woman
should desire this essential quality,
that they may be better able to
bless the world. knowledge is not
necessarily power, for to be powerful
we must have the knowledge of
God. Mass and muscle alone do
not make power. We are heirs of
the ages in progress of righteous
ness. The nation that has done
most for US is the one whose God is
the Lord. Isreal, as long as the
true God was worshipped, was in
mighty power. The laws of Isreal
and IsreaPs God have made nations
what they are.
In the field of nature we know
more. than the ancients. One by
one the powers of nature have been
subdued and brought under the
dominion of man. People studying
nature and Harvesting her powers
are merely seeing God at work in
his world. The difference between
what the ancients did and what we
can do is as nothing compared with
our ability and what Jesus can do,
and it is largely a difference in
knowledge of God. The church has
not all the power it should have and
will doubtless make great progress in
the future.
Faith is power, and not the things
that people do by faith, but faith
itself. In the instance of the three
Hebrew children cast into the fiery
furnace we miss the central point in
attaching so much Significance in
the rescue. The chief point in the
story is that they refuse to do the
thing that would exempt them from
the punishment. They stood BY
their faith.

Wednesday Afternoon Session.

At o'clock Rev. L. F. Badger of
Mankato delivered a very strong
address on the theme Soul Win
ning," which condensed is as fol-
lows:
The crime of the church today is
unconcern for the salvation of the
souls of men. Indifference and
inability of pastors and people to
to win souls is one of the marked
characteristics of too many of the
churches. Preparation for the work
of soul winning, however thorough,
is not sufficient. To be sure, per.

practiced, the membership of the
church can do this work as effec
lively as the preacher, and in many
instances even more so. There is q
feeling in the world that nobody
cares for my SOUL" while this is moi
strictly true, yet the prevailing
indifference affords at least some
warrant for the assertion. 1t is moi
surprising that the world does not
believe in our religion to the extent
of which it is worthy.
Our in difference to- the spiritual
welfare of the people is the reason
for it. The church has apparently
lost S omething of it's faith in prayer,
and consequently with a lessoned
faith there has come lesSoned
effort. It is true that men out of
Christ are lost. God longs for the
salvation and he depends upon his
people to work with him for the
saving Of the lost ones.
Rev. George Saltou. Theme
The Enduement of Power"
This is a most important fact in
Christian experience, for it is i'm
possible to do any work for God
without this enduement. The
sample of power with which we are
to be endued is that which raised up
Christ from the dead. This not
only raised Him from the dead but
also gave Him a new place and
authority.
The power came down on Penta.
cost and has been manifest in the
world since that time. How can we
receive it? The Lord cometh.
"Ye shall be enmantled with power ~
and this promise is founded on old
testament prophecy and illustrated
in old testement incident, partic.

ter, where Elijah is separated from
Elisha and taken to heaven in a
whirlwind, leaving his mantle to his
successor.
-Four places in the old testament
history connected with this incident
have special spiritual significance fol-
all ages. They are Gilgal, Bethel
Jericho and Jordan.

of the elder son, which was double
portion was to be lis as he was tc
be Elisha's successor in the prophetic
office. The promise was IF thou
shalt see Me when | am taken up it
shall be as thou desirest." And the
promise was fulfilled, for Elisha
allowed nothing to divert his attention
or take his eyes from the person of
Elijah. -.
When the. time of separation
really came and Elijah was taken
up in chariotof fire his mantle
descended upon Elisha.
The old English word MANTLE
means habit" Elisha tore his
habit in, two parts and put on the
habit of Elijah. We need to tear
old habits in two and put on the
habit of the master. !, With new
responsibilities Elisha met the diff
culties that confronted him, just as
his master had done. He smote
Joadan with the mantle in the faith
of God and crossed over.
The portion of the first born is for
every member of the true church of
God. This is the birthright. Many
a child of God has sold his birth
right for less than a mess of pottage.
Salvation is one thing, but enmant-
ling power is another. The church
is for men and women to attain to
stature and strength. Selfish and
lazy and indulgent habits stop with
enmantling power. Paul says
perilous times will come," we need
the power which God alone can
give US, to enable us to overcome.

BUSINESS. In part, he spoke as
follows:
In all ages great truths have
dawned slowly. It took long time
for the world to see that slavery was
a sin. Now it is beginning to see
that the liquor traffic is. also a sin
and a curse, and this is shown by
the fact that the trendxof humanity
is always upward, andsWhile sins OF
various kinds abound, it has always
been so.
The difference between the past
and the present is indicated in three
particulars; first we know much
more now than formerly; second.
the standards of intelligence are
higher and third, vice is apt to be
more noisy than virtue. .
OF the nine great historic evils all
but three have gone their way. Il
we have conquered. SO many evils
we will yet conquer the great evil
of temperance, for the kingdoms of
this world will surely become the
kingdom of our Lord. H..
In this great movement, fol
eradication Of this evil education is
with US. For temperance is laugh,
in the public school of today, possibly
not as thoroughly as we desire, but
it is still mighty power.

institutions have taken decided
stands on this question. Life

AUSTRALIAN STONE FOREST.

In Albany. Australia, is TO be seen a
stone forest-in other words, petriied
trees. The trees are of gray stone. It
is suggested as an explanation of the
strange phenomenon that in the depths
of past ages the forest was in full
vegetation. and then through some up
heaVal Of the earth il was buried in
the sand Little by little the water
acting on the sand penetrated the
branches and sOlidified. The wood
gradually disappeared under the layer
OF stone and in time took its form. Then
in succeeding years the winds again
carried away the sand. and the forest
appeared anew. but Of stone.
