The custom of decorating the house
with greens at Christmas Is derived
from the religion of the ancient Drulds.
The good spirits of the woods were
supposed to fee from the winter cold

A Really Great Organ.


What 1t is claimed wiz be the largest
organ in the world will be fitted in the
new St. Michaers church, at Hamburg
which is being erected on the site and
according to the original plans Of the
edifice totally destroyed by FIRE in July,
1905, says The London Telegraph.
This colossal instrument, which is be-
ing built by a Ludwigsburg firm, COM
prises 40 registers and 1900 pipes,
the largest OF which in itself weighs
close on half a ton. There are Ave
manuals, and the pedal has q. compass
Of thirty-two notes. The necessary
wind will be supplied by two fans, each
driven by motor OF horsepower.
Electricity will be employed for oper-
ating the stops. A wealthy founda-
ton has supplied the funds required
for the purpose. 1t is expected that
the fitting of the organ will be COM
pleted and the church opened for pub
nc worship in the spring OF 1919.

The forthcoming production Of The
Third Degree, Charles Klein's latest
play. which will be given in this city
at the Fargo operahouse fresh from q
run of seven months at the Hudson
theatre, New York, on next Friday eve
ming by Henry B. Harris, will serve to
remind the theatre going public that
the author Of The Lion and the Mouse
has again given to them an interesting
play OF a most virile character This
time instead of attacking financial and
political conditions. Mr.. Klein has
seen fit to go to Fifth avenue for his
characters, bringing to light a condi-
ton that exists in that social strata
and reveals II in a manner most allur-
ing.
1t has been a matter Of universal
knowledge that birth knowledge that
birth, coupled with money, regardless
of mental capacity, fills the list OF
society's eligibles. In The Third De-
gree, Mr.. Klein has seen fit to attack
this policy.
The son of a member of an old
Knickerbocker family has married a
girl who by reason Of her strength OF
character and natural mental force, is
as good as any lady in the land, but
on account of her parentage causes her
husband to be disowned by his father.
The youth, not being of strong mental
calibre, plunges into dissipation and
debt. A death occurring under strange

Thorns and Orange Blossoms Is un-
derlined at the Fargo operahouse for
this afternoon and evening. The play
is bright, sparkling, funny, interesting
and as thoroughly enjoyable as any
comedy drama of recent years. The
cast is Of uniform excellence and in
the costuming are found some of the
most stunning gowns Of the period,

situation that for tensity OF interest
has never been equalled on the Amer
lean stage. The struggle Of woman
to save her husband from the clutches
OF a merciless gang OF torturers clothed
In judicial authority adds such strength
as to make Of the Third Degree q play
that will more than duplicate the sue
cess Of Mr.. Klein's The Lion and the
Mouse.

Fully 500 people packed the Baptist

elton. Not siuce the days OF the great
revival IL years ago have the people
locked TO hear the gospel as they have
been doing tnis week
The service was perhaps the most i'm
pressivs one Of the meeting. For 40
minutes Evangelist ,,arlanu b. bis plain
aid pointed references held the vast au-
deuce with increasing attention. At
times the interest was Intense as Mr..
Garland would point some truth with a
thrilling Incident taken from his own ex-
perience.
There will be- no interruption In the
service this week. The evangelist expects
10 hold service on Saturday night lust
the same as other nights This will be a
departure from the usual methods but
many Will come on Saturday night
that do not come at other services, es-
pecially men. So look out for the Satur-
day night service.
On sunday afternoon at $3.50 D. m. he
Will hold great mems meeting. Every
man will be urged to come to this IN add
ton to the other services on Sunday. Mr..
Garland Is especially interested ia men
and noticing 80 many last night who
stood up during the entire hour he
desires to make arrangements to reserve
certain seats for them.
Promptly ct 7:45 the song service
commenced. This is ALWAYS &, terestinp.
for there is nothing so inspiring as a
g eat crowd joining in some soul-stirring
song. Mr.. Wright sang with good effect
The Sparrow song" one OF the Chap
man solos, with the choir coming in on
the chorus. Mrs. A Z Rowe sang that
beautiful song, Jesus, Savior, Pilot
Ne, and she sang it with wonderful
sweetness. The meeting is greatly helped
IN having so many splendid and willing
singers.
Rev. Mr.. Williams made public &C.
acknowledgement of the action of the man.

during the meeting and expressed the ap-
probation OF his people for their act,
MT. Garland took as his text, Rev. 20:
~, And another book was opened
which is the book OF life," and in his
opening remarks he called attention to
the TACT that every man and woman.
every husband and wife, every father
AND mother was writing daily the pages
OF lie. The speaker would constantly
back up his remarks with Scripture quo
tations and would clinch the matter by
saying. the Book said 1t; didn't"
de then launched into the duties OF
husbands and wives, fathers and moth
ers, and before he was through he had
many father and mother In tear.
Sometimes he vas sarcastic with the
husbands and there seemed to be a migbtv
shrinking ofthe husbands as they tried to
dodge.
1t was a powerful appeal and IL is sale
to say shat many husband made love
to bis wife this morning like he did in
old days, and many father asked God
to help him to be a better and truer and
more faithful parent.
Mr.. GARLAND told one Incident which
melted the great crowd In moment.
