SUGGESTIVE QUESTIONS NO THE SUNDAY SCHOOL
LESSON BY REV. DR. LINSCOTT FOR THE INTER-
NATIONAL NEWSPAPER BIBLE STUDY CLUB

4 If man SAY he hath faith" wha
is the test of whether he is tellin,
the truth?
1 Are there those today, who say
and probably think, they have faith
but lacking loving hearts, and tn,
4 fruits of love, are deceiving them
selves?
i What is a Christians proof to him
self, that he Is not deceived mar
in claiming to be in the favor Of
God?
i Verses Is, 16-How do you class
those who see people | nned Of food
and clothing, and do not do all they
can to supply the need?
Which person more nearly resem.
bles Jesus, the one who talks very
piously, and prays with the needy, bu,
giving them no help, or the one who
generously supplies the need without
Iany religious pretentions?
| II q man helps the needy to supply
their own need, is that as we'll or
better. than supplying the needs d.
rect?
Is 1t possible for a church to be
doing it's full Christian service which
is not helping the needy, either in its
own. or some other community?
Verses II, Isis it possible to
show faith without works?
Have all those who, with loving
hearts, are engaged in good works,
also got saving faith, whether they
profess to have it or not, and whether
they are members of the church or
not, and whether or not they are even
orthodox in their views?
Have any, who attend church regu-
larly and profess to be religious, but
are harsh with the poor, give nothing
to charity, and care nothing for the
needy, got saving faith?
Have those got saving faith who
pray for the poor and needy, and for
the sick and suffering, and yet do
nothing to feed the poor or comfort
the sick?
Verses 10, 20-Is there any moral
merit in mere orthodoxy, or is there
any essential moral blame in mere,
heterodoxy?
Granted a man with the spirit of
Jesus, engaged in good works, what
does he lose by being heterodox, and
what does he gain by being orthodox?
Verses 21-2S-When God told
Abraham to leave his own country
and start for another that God would
show him, was there any other way
that he could have faith in God, but
by actually starting on the journey?
What is the meaning of, "and
Abraham believed God and 1t was
imputed unto him for righteous
ness?"
Love is an essential part of faith,
and love implies action, or good
works, hence is it at all possible for
person to have faith who is not en-
gagged in good works? This question
must be answered in writing by menu

GOVERNORS MEET AT BOISE.

One of the most notable events for
| the yeav in Boise will be the meeting
| of all the governors of states in the
northwest on or about August /, a
movement in which Governor Brady
Of Idaho and Governor Spry of Utah
have been leaders and in which CO.
operation has been assured by the
chief executives of Wyoming, Mon
tana, Washington and Oregon. The
object of this proposed conference is
to discuss legislation and admins
tration of existing laws with view
to inaugurating a system which shall
eventually result in uniform statutes.
Although it is reasonably certain
the meeting will be held in Boise
owing to the advantage of city
centrally located among the states to
be represented, Governor Brady last
night stated that he was not prepared
to make such a statement, but that
he was doing everything in his power
to bring the governors to this city
and had hopes of success
Salt Lake Competitor.
The only other city now being con-
sidered is Salt Lake and this Is out
of courtesy to Governor Spry who
has manifested much enthusiasm
over the suggestion for a convention
of governors from the northwestern
states.
Governor Brady has repeatedly ex-
pressed himself as wishing ito make
the state not only great within itself
but with other states" and believes
the visiting executives would be the
proper persons on whom to impress
Idaho's Importance by an actual visit
within it's borders.

NEE PERCEs REVIVAL.

On several of the Indian reserva
lions in Idaho and Washington re
ligious reyivals are being held thi,
year, the services being conducted BY
five or six Indians and white men Of
the Presbyterian denomination. Ser.

of Blackfoot, with the following nam.
ed gentlemen in charge. Rev. j. G.
Dickson, Nez Perez Indian who Is
permanently located at this mission
Rev. j. NJ. Cornelison, a white man
who is the successor OF Marcus Whit
man, and has taken up the work
which Whitman and wife were doing
at the time OF the Whitman massacre
in 1916; the location of the mis-
sion is on the Umatilla reservation
near Pendleton, Oregon. Rev. VIM.

there were ninety two converts dur

The Nez Perces and Flatheads have
shown considerable religious tendency
ever since Lewis and Clarke we're
among them, and it was the Flat
heads that sent four braves to st.
Louis in 1882 to get copy OF the
white mans book of Heaven. Capt.
Bonneville wintered among the Up
per Nez Perces near the present site
OF Salmon City in 1888, and at that
time they observed the Sabbath, save
thanks at the beginning Of each meal
and observed religious rites in crude
form, which they had learned from
Catholic traders and trappers. A
year later Capt. Bonneville was
among the lower Nez Perces in east
ern Oregon, and found them even
more religious and hospitable than
their cousins on the upper river. In
1S34-5, Capt Bonneville succeeded
In patching up truce between The
ohoshones and the Blackfeet SO that |
they encamped together for the Win
ter in Bear river, but he could not
induce the Blackfeet and the Nez
Perces to bury the Ratchet.

Lemert Case Continues.

The case OF State OF Indiana YER
sus Francis NJ Lemert for blackma =,
continues in the circuit court, and the
evidence OF witnesses will probably
be concluded this afternoon. The
contention OF Edward Brundage. the
prosecuting witness. Is that on April
20, 1908. the defendant came to the
Dome OF Brundage and by means of
threats OF arrest on fictitious charge
attempted to extort the sum of $50
from him. Lemert maintains that the
paper upon which he attempted to
collect the money was a judgment OF
$3.50, on note, and no affidavit
whatsoever. The preponderance Of
the evidence seems TO be in favor OF
the defendant All OF the parties live
in or about Teegarden. The penalty
in case of a conviction, is / to Il
years in the penitentiary.

APPROPRIATION
FOR ELECTIONS
COUNTY COUNCIL SETS ASIDE
SUM OF $4,000 FOR BOTH
ELECTIONS.
Two Members Voted Against County
Option neutrality-suspicious.
for c. H. Improvements.

At a special session of the county
council Wednesday af.ernoon,t the sum
Of $4,000 was appropriated for holding
the two special elections in Mar
Shall county. $500 was set aside for
each. The Special election to elect
a Representative to succeed the late
VIM l.. Sarber will be held tomorrow
and the County Local Option cleo
ton will be held on March 4th. In
regard to appropriating money for
the improvement OF the Court House
the council refused to make any adj
ditional appropriation to tle $4,000
which was set aside for that purpose
at the last session. 1t was necessary
for the council to amend the original
appropriation, to make it include pay
ment for the services of the architect
who prepared plans and specifications
for the proposed improvement, and
also to include the construction OF
three additional toilet rooms on the
second floor and the sum OF $500 for
rewriting the Court House for cleo
trio lights. The present wiring is said
not to conform with requirements OF
insurance companies

A Do Nothing Legislature.

IS TINS TO De do nothing leglSlat-
ure? The question grows out of the
impression that is rapidly gaining
ground that nothing can be done if
the assembly doesn't hurry. Thus far
the time OF tle session has been prac-
tically monopolized by two things,
the election or United States sena
tor and tle seeking OF ways and
means OF escape from the dilemma in
which the passage of the local option
law at the special session placed the
members OF the assembly. In the
matter OF tae senatcrship the legis-
lature did we'll, but as far as finding
a way out of the difficulties surround
ing the local option situation is con-
cerned the product is nil So that the
only really important thing accom-
plished thus far is the election of a
senator.
With the session more than half
over and nothing to show for it but
one United States senator and few
laws OF local application the exhibit
is hardly satisfactory to the people
who are paving the bills. The house
has passed no senate bills and the
senate has passed only three house
bills, willie in the senate there are
about 300 and in the house about 400
bills delayed in transmission. This
is not saying that some of them, per,
haps many OF them might be perpet-
ually delayed with benefit to the
state, but in the mass there ate some
deserving attention and mer;ting a
place among the statutes of Indiana.
In the few remaining days OF the ses-
sion it will be ncumbent upon he
members OF the legislature to give
more substantial evidence of an ex-
cuse for their official existence or go
home from Indianapolis On the night
trains and keep themselves in seclu-
sion until the incident rs forgotten
by the people in The press OF other
matters-Souhh Bend News.

Monday morning? Vita his force of

himself from his delightful slumbers
at ) o'clock Monday morning and pro-
ceeded to give the front OF the Neil
building on North Michigan street, a
much needed shave In fact the en-

Come to think it over, the law is a
terrible thing, isn't It? And further
more, wnen the city council tells you
to do thing it must be done, mustn't
it? EhIheh sometimes.
1t was indeed an amusing sight to
see the gang of workmen, engaged in
cutting off the front OF the Neil build
ing, which happened to extend three
feet on the sidewalk, on Michigan
street. Daniel Jacoby wore wor-
ried expression, and kept looking in
the direction from which Mrs. Clara
Neil, owner OF the building might
come Between the devil, and rhe
deep blue sea was he, not saying
however, who tie devil vas The
city council had said Mrs Clara
Neil. your building, comprising three
store rooms, projects three feet on
North Michigan street We will give
you just sixty days to get those three
feet off the sidewalk, for you are OBJ
structing the view OF the Chronicle
Office, and If you don't get it off in
sixty days, then you. Dan Jacoby, city
marshal. you get your saw and cut II
off," For sixty days the marshal was
in suspense. He wondered il the
council really meant what it had said.
He hoped that Mrs Neil would be
real good and move the old buildings
back, and save him from worry. Sum
