car load of fish in the Iowa river west
of here. near Alden, the state fish car
made practically it's last trip for this
season, only one other shipment being
made, and that to the Cedar river near
Cedar Rapids. The weather this fall
has been very favorable for the dis
tribution of fish from the bayous Of
the Mississippi river to the inland
rivers and lakes of the state.
While in the city. State Game War
den George A. Lincoln stated that
thirteen trips had been made with fish
this fall and that it was estimated that
100000 fish had been transported from
the Mississippi at Sabula to the riv-
ers of the state. These are all game
fish and promise TO afford the fisher.
men of the state some good sport in
coming years. Among the species dis
tributed were black rock and silver
bass, crappies. pike, pickerel, catfish,
perch and blue gilled sunfish
The rivers and lakes and the points
at which the fish were deposited are
as follows: In the Volga river at West
Union, Storm Lake, Medium Lake at
Emmetsburg. Clear Lake, Shell Rock
river at Green, in the Wapsit river al

transported will spawn and propagate
next year.

scheme of government. The need OF
the times is not so much for increased
government regulation as 1t Is for a
new grip on the ancient verities of the
Gospel. Society needs preaching more
than it needs law making. The pulpit
has a larger part to play than the
legislature, in shilling the present un,
rest. The world sorely needs to come
under the dominion Of the teaching OF
Christ. More of the old-fashioned
gospel of mans responsibility, first to
God and then to his neighbor, is what
will set these things right. The true
preacher, Gods sent man, has the
answer to all our questionings in his
keeping.
The Time of Itching Ears.
II present-day minister's meeting
were to have an address from the
Apostle Paul, he would perhaps talk
to them somewhat in this strain, being
fond of colloquialisms: Brethren,
don't forget that you are preachers.
God called you to preach. That is your
business: attending afternoon teas,
gossiping around book rooms on Mon
day morning, pulling wires for election
to the next conference, or to better
church, cultivating the reporters for
the sake of newspaper puffery, editor
ializing in your pulpits upon the days
sensations-all this is aside from the
mark Preach the Gospel. If you
haven't gospel to preach, scrape ac-
quaintance with your own manhood
and quit the ministry; or else get a
message. Don't be a phonograph or a
manikin. Preach patiently. pleading
ly, fearlessly, personally. Make your
own chances to deliver the Evangel.
That is what the world needs. more
than it needs anything else. solemn
ly charge you, by your vows, and as
you will one day answer to God,
preach his pure word"
Most enthusiasts are carried away
by their own interest; they think all
things are coming their way. When
an evangelist stirs up a little excite
ment, he is sure that great revival
is about sweep over the world. Not
SO Paul He saw straight He warn
ed Timothy that the time was coming
it is always coming, and it is always
here-when men would not endure
sound doctrine. In one of his word
pictures, he describes them as having
itching ears; and he intimated, what
contemporaneous records would seem
to prove, that itching ears are related
to evil desires. This restless seeking
after new truth" and strange gods is
perilous trait OF our times. There
are probably more cults and isms in
the new Athens of the west than Paul
found in the old Athens. The spice
of variety is craved by the jaded taste
of the day. Everywhere and any
where men are going in pursuit OF
rest and peace. Whereas their need
is for the simple truth preached OF
Paul The greatest want Of the
twentieth century is for greater pre-
sentation and acceptation OF the

THE EMS OF THE JOURNEY.
Terse Comments Upon the Christian
Endeavcr Topic for December IL
"Crossing tho River" Cor. IS: 81
80; Hob. 2: 1913.
BY WILLIAM T. ELLIS.

For year the Christian Endeavor-
ers of the world have followed Bun
vans Christian in his Pilgrims Pro-
gress' Now they see him to his jour
ney's end. He has come to the, dark
river that flows before the Celestial
City-and crossed it. The passage con-
tains some of the finest thought and
language in Bunyans immortal work.
1t is a good center for thoughts con-
corning the inevitable experience of
everybody. Death is one of the ines
capable things; to prepare for 1t Is
matter of common prudence.
Amos r. Wells paragraphs some
points on the topic thus:
AS the Christian approaches death,
ne sees what he thought to be the
darkest of experiences is SO bright that
he cannot look fairly upon it.
The Pilgrim has vast host that are
going toward death with him, but not
one of them can bring him into the
City: only his own faith, and He on
whom that faith is reposed.
For no one except Elijah, not even
Christ, has a bridge been provided
over the river Of death.
| AS the Red Sea and the Jordan be-
came easily fordable when attacked BY
faith, so the river of death.
| Even Christian, after all his ex-
periences, sank in deep waters as he
came to die: but he pressed on.
| When the thought of his sins UNI
nerved Christian, the thought of his
Savior buoyed him up.
! ,rhe Shining Ones attend us all tht
way, but we cannot see them until We
approach the light in which they dwell
The city's foundation is higher thar
the clouds. above all sorrows and
tempests.

shall desire to have passed away; but
all beautiful things will remain.
The converse of heaven will be one
of it's chief joys,-to have free inter-
course with all the wise and lovely
ones of all time.
Heaven is place of rewards; and
the rewards, we are glad to know, Will
be far beyond our deserts.
Heaven is a place Of service, which
is the chief joy of earth and there 1t
will be unimpaired by any imperfec-
ton
One of heavens happinesses will be
receiving the throngs of happy spirits
continually arriving from earth; nay,
from all earths.
One of heavens chief satisfactions
will be in the thought that it's joys are
eyerla sting.
Bunyan saw that it was all a dream;
and yet his dream is among the per-
manent realities of all time.
There is no bridge over the river of
death. King Edward might have a
royal road built for him from Carlo to
the Pyramids, and Emperor William
might have a road built to Jerusalem,
but no king on earth can have a bridge
built over deaths dark, sullen
stream" All must undergo that exper-
fence. Even for faithful disciples 1T is
sometimes hard, or it was for Christ
ian but the other shore justifies every
thing.
Heavens gate may be entered only
through the narrow outer portal Of the
tomb.
In the midst of his struggle with the
dark waters of death, Pilgrim heard
his Lord say, when thou passeth
through the waters I will be with
thee, and through the rivers, they shall
not overflow thee" That word, and its
companion assurance, 10, / am with
you Away, even unto the end" has
been the solace Of many Christian.
One of the sublimest passages in
| Bunyan's great book, and, indeed, in
all the rich literature upon the subject
is his description of the Pilgrims APP
proach to heaven and entrance there
| in. 1t should be read in every Christ
ian Endeavor meeting. The most elo-
quent pens of all time have been
turned to the theme of eternity. For
centuries the lines of an ancient monk
have brought comfort to pilgrims:
Social problems perplex most earn
est persons today But there are nc
social problems in heaven.
