About 1900 young people, delegates
from three church societies of Cleveland,
Ohio, representing 1000 people, under
the direction of Rev. F. B. Wallace of
the East End Baptist church, pledged
themselves to live for at least two weeks
as they believed Jesus would live in their
respective positions were He on earth.
The advice given by the pastor was as
follows: B honest in your religion and
in your business n social relations.
Jesus was a manly man. When you meet
a friend shake hands like a man, not
like a giraffe. Jesus allowed no shoddy
work in his carpenter shop. Allow none
in your business. Be gentlemen and la
dies. Do not be ~loafers. Get to work.
Get to work on time. Read the Bible.
Pray. Be sunny. Bring sunshine into
the lives of others"
Rev. C. w. Heller of the Ithaca IN.

rHrY xrrw How 70 WORK,

Dut Donst Need TO work 20 Hard
New in Westera Canada.
The experience Of the Blaser broth
ers In Western Canada Is similar to
that reported to every agent Of the Ca
madam Government, whose advertise
ment appears elsewhere.
Wheatwyr, sask., NOV. 9. 1903,
To the Commissioner Of immigration,
winnipeg, Manitoba:
Dear Sir-I, in company with my
brother and other relations, arrived In
this country in the spring OF 1888. At
the time we got or the train at Wolse-
ley, Sask., we had only . few dollars.
not enough to start farming on our
own account, SO we were compelled to
work out for a considerable time In or
der to make sufficient money to enable
us to establish ourselves. When we
thought we had money enough to start
with, I and my brother took up one
quarter-section Geo acres) land each
In the Loon Greek district. In 1900
we moved on our homesteads with n
team of horses and one walking pillow.
While I was engaged with the work In
the field, my brother built a shack and
barn Of logs, which we had hauled DUR
ing the time we were not able to work
in the field. We were certainly work
ing very hard, but I am glad to say
that we made our fortune In this cou
try. To-day we do not need to work
10 hard as we used to do, as we have
three hired men steady, for whom we
pay 5000 to $4,000 a month, besides
board and lodging during the summer
time. l am also glad to tell you that
to-day w are owners of a section and
three-quarters Of the best land, with
frst-class buildings thereon, besides
having all the necessary machinery.
We always do our own t%hreshing, for
we have a 22-horse-power threshlng
outfit.
Our success in farming In this u
try also enabled US to get rid OF a
number of horses of less value, and In
stead we bought ten pure-bred mares,
representing a value In the n%eighbor-
hood Of 5000.
Regarding raising grain, which Is the
main factor In our district, | an proud
to say that we have always had good
success. We have raised wheat as high as
t%hirty-fve bushels to the acre /; and this
year, although we suffered from lack
OF sufficient rain, our wheat went tweu-
ty-seven bushels to the acre, and We
had 900 acres In crop. We have broken
this year about 100 acres new land,
and by next year we will have about
LILO acres In crop. For one carload
of wheat which we have shipped a few
weeks ago we got a price OF o. cents
per bushel, and 1t was graded as No.
2 Northern. although we have a guam
tity OF wheat watch will surely so ms
No. I Northern. During the six years
have been farming for ourselves, we
have never had one frost around here.
30 that we always had a good crop
I. for myself, feel compelled to say
that our Great West Is the land where
a person who Is willing to work and
turn his hands to anything can make a
fortune, and a comfortable living. Our
Is a thoroughly free country,
we have a good Government; and.
is long as we have good crops and a
good Government. we are satisfied, and
think hat IL nil we want.
Yours very truly,
