African Diamond Jubilee.

Seventy-fve years has Christ been
proclaimed in Africa by the Metho-
dist Church. Bishop Hartzell calls
for 100000. in celebration sof the
event, and we do not doubt but
what it will be realized. The ball
was set rolling last February in
Washington. President and Mrs.
Roosevelt aiding in giving it mo-
mentum. The Methodist Sunday
school of this place added their quota
to it on Sunday, when a fine pro-
gram was rendered.
A member Of the Sunday school
who has lived in Africa described
the religious belief Of the natives.
We found that while they believe in
good spirit, they hold that he can
not aid them through life at all,
while the evil spirits are numerous
and bent on devouring them, They
use every means of bribery and chi
canery to circumvent the evil spirits.
It is a hard battle from the cradle
to the grave. At death comes the
last chance. They think the spirit
fingers in its home for eight days af.
! ter death and for that period both
day and night the friends of the
deceased make terrible uproar tc
keep the devils in allegiance, unit
the soul gains strength to evade
them. The African is in great need
of the gospel truths, and eager to
receive them.
Miss Edith Burmeister gave q
very telling chart exercise showing
the relatively small amount of mon
ey that America gives to Foreign
Missions compared with some Other
things. She had it ali down in fig
ures and also had it measured of
with ribbons of different lengths
For instance: Foreign Missions were
2 inches; chewing gum. a inches
milliners, 16 inches; church work al
home, so inches; tobacco, $50 inches

SIGHT Lost and Restored.

A farmers wife who had had much
trouble with her servants was accosted
by one Of them.
81 fear / shall not be able to work
much longer l think l am going
blind"
"Why, how is that? You seem to
get along pretty well with your work"
Yes, but l can no longer see any
meat on my plate at dinner"
The farmers wife understood, and
the next day the servants were served
with very large and very thin pieces of
meat
"How nice" the girl exclaimed. "My
sight has come back. / can see better
than ever"
''How is that, BellaY asked the mis-
tress.
"Why, at this moment" replied
Bella. 81 can see the plate through
the meat."-London Scraps.

Backache is only simple thing at

EVERY TUESDAY

On account of the ina migra-
ton from Illinois and Iowa the
Kerr Land Co. have been COM
PEELED to run the special land
excursions every Tuesday.
Now is the time to 50 if you
are looking that way.
There is no country like the
Lethbridge wheat district for a
man with a small capital. One
years crop will put you in a
better position financially than
you have ever been.
Remember you are not going
into a wild country when you
buy. You have neighbors all
around, and nearly all Ameri-
cans and they do enjoy life.
Wherever there are s children
or more, the government furn-
ishes a modern school house.
Don't put your trip off if you
are looking for an opportunity
to better your financial Condi-
ton, for you will pay 20 to sc
per cent more in short time

morgan Messenger: Inc y. n
Porter threshing rig threshed the
first Job in this vicinity on Wednes-
day of last week for Louis Steinhars.
Mr.. Steinhaus had an acre sowed to
barley which yielded 37a bushels.
Fairfax Standard: A Clarissa ba-
by that had been sick for a long
time. had been treated for every
thing from sore eyes to stomach
trouble. Finally the doctors re-
moved from the child's flesh a
needle that had evidently been i'm
bedded in the flesh for several years.
The child is getting better since the
needle was removed. When very
young the child had been in the hab-
it of sliding along the floor and not
creeping as most children do. 1t is
presumed that the needle entered
the child's body while it was sliding
along the floor.
Of all the curses that can be called
down upon helpless child, there is
none SO deadly as possession Of great
wealth. All that makes this life
worth living is created by conflict
with the actualities Of life, by strug-
gle to meet its necessities, by the
stern contest of man against man to
see which is the better. There has
never been any other school for
character. and so far as we can see,
there never will. To deprive a
child of this. to start him in life
with all that can minister to his ap-
petite and dwarf the development
OF his nobler powers, is as cruel as
to cut off an arm or leg and send
him out into the world thus manned
to compete with his more efficient
fellows. 1t passes comprehension
I that with this fact staring out at
them from every page of history of
thousands of years, parents and rel
atives can continue to reach hand
from behind the grave to visit this
curse upon the children. Judge
Wilson.
How times have changed, remarks
an exchange. When we were young
people had colds, soaked their feet
in hot water and got we'll. Now
they have grip, take quinine and are
sick all summer. Then they had sore
throat, wrapped a piece of fat pork
in an old sock, tied it around their
neck at night and went to work the
next morning; now they have tonsil-
tits, surgical operation and two
weeks in the house. Then they had
bellyache, took castor oil and recov-
cred; now they have appendicitis,
a week in the hospital and six feet
due east and west and six feet per-
pendicular. They worked then, now
they labor. In those days they wore
underclothes; now they wear hinge
rie. They went to restaurant for
dinner; now they go to cafe. Then
they broke a leg; now they fracture
limb. They went crazy then; now
they have brain storms. Ministers
preached hell fire straight from.the
shoulder then; now they read an es-
say on the flowers that bloom on
Mohammed's grave.

There hasn't been a time in
the last seven years that Red-
wood county farms could be
bought at as low figures as
they can right now.
| want to tell you if you are
able to purchase Redwood
county farm at present prices
in ten years you will look
hack and say, | did we'll when
L bought that farm.
1t makes no difference where
you buy land, if you hold ON to
it you will make money.
About the only difference in
Minnesota land and Canada
land is that Minnesota land is
fast becoming poor wheat
country and farmers are COM
PEELED to raise more stock and
tame grasses, which means a
large amount of capital.
In Canada or Alberta, the
best wheat and small grain
CO untry in the world, a man
does nicely with a small CAPT
tai. 4 good horses, pillow, disk
and binder are the principle
tools necessary to make money.
Remember, | am not knock
ing Redwood county land. as
Redwood county is all right
for man with capital.
If you are figuring on a Red
wood county farm call at my
Office and I can fit you out with
most any kind of farm and
any kind of terms.
You people who are renting
you homes in the city of Red
wood Falls, why don't you buy
and apply your rents as pay
ments? / have a number Of
nice homes that | can sell on
these terms.
Inside of 10 years, l predict
Redwood Falls a city of at
Least 5000 inhabitants.

crammed them each and al! into his

he was asked TO do was to criticise

Moses, good, bad, or Indifferent could
the unfortunate youth remember. so,
after much thought, he wrote as fol-

Moses; but, IL you would care to know
