WORK OF DRAGGING
RIVER UNDER WAY
MR.. FLAHERTY GIVES FORUM
EXACT FACTS RE C ARDING
WHAT THEY KNOW or DlsAP-
PEARANcE or YOUNG STERN
KNOW HE WAS IN FARGO.

The systematic search for the body
OF Ed stern OF Cleveland, N, d.. which
is supposed to be I'm the Red river.
was begun this morning by w. A.
Blake of Jamestown, state humane
society officer for North Dakota, and
John F1aherty of Cleveland, ~. d., a
friend of the missing man. They are
being ably assisted by Sheriff Whaley,
who has placed his launch at their
disposal.
The search is being pursued near
the north side pier of the south bridge,
not particularly on account Of the
dog story" but upon the basis of
other information entirely. While the
body may not now be anywhere near
the site of the present search, the
friends of the missing man are reas-
onably certain that the body Of Ed
Stern entered the Red river at this
point, which was being vigorously
dragged this morning.
Messrs. Blake and Flaherty were
interviewed this morning by a repre-
sentative of The Forum. Mr.. Fla
herty, acting as spokesman, said:
81 want to deny fully the story
which was printed in the Fargo morn
ing paper today. The reports in the
Fargo and Moorhead evening papers,
last evening, were substantially cor
rect. Despite the statement in the
morning paper, the dates are fixed. Ed
Stern sold parcel Of land near Cleve-
land to John Ballinger, and received a
check for $3.50 on account Of purchase
price. That check was cashed Feb.
/. Mr.. Stern carried that money in
his pocket a day or two. Mr.. Stern
left Jamestown on train No. 16, Feb.
8, for Minneapolis, to be gone day.
He travelled with, friends as far as
Valley city and alone from there to
Fargo and we have established mis- ar
rival in Fargo and know he went
over to Moorhead. stern was seen
by William Higgins in Fargo, who
says he had dog with him and the
dog was seen later on the river more
than once in tine vicinity of the site
i'm the river which we are now drag
ging.
"At present we are not interested
in the actions Of the dog, we are
working according to entirely differ
ent evidence altogether. We have not
censured anyone in Fargo and Moor
head. Ed stern we know had been
drinking and it is very possible that
he wandered about, lost his way and
walked into the river, as to that NJ
man can tell. All we want now Is
the body of MIR. Stern, and we have
reason to feel sure that 1t is in the
Red river and that it entered neal
where we are now working. We ap.
preciate greatly ths assistance giveT

NATION DOESN'T GO TO CHURCH
Chrictian Organizations and Cults
Taking Place of Pew Worship.

Chrictian Organizations and Cults
Taking Place of Pew Worship.
We are a religious nation although
our church attendance may be low
asserts Rheta Childe Dorr in the De-
lineator for April. There never was
time when moral and ethical stand
ards were higher, when public con-
science was more accurate. when
philanthropy was more openhanded
when The desire tor social justice
was more apparent. We are nearer
to being religious nation than ever
before.
Being a religious nation, why don't
we go to church? The answer is in
dicated in the remarkable growth OF
ethical culture societies, socialistic
groups, Christian Science, the New
Thought movement, the Emmanuel
movement and other modern cults.
These have not developed as the result
of accident or blind chance Still less
are they indications of a decline of
the religious or devotional spirit. They
have appeared in answer to an irresis-
tible cry of the human soul, in re-
sponse go necessities which the church
seemed powerless to crafty.
For a long period the church stood
apart, watching its congregations
dwindle, its influence decline, its popu-
lar contributions fall off, its attend
ance' become a class attendance, with
the largest class OF all, the working
class practically left out. Nothing
was done about it. "The churches are
open; let the people come in" was the
answer.
But the people would not come in
Not because the religious impulse had
declined, but because It had changed
its direction. The good man and wom-
of the present are different from the
good man and woman of the fifties
The modern Christnian is moved to
translate his prayer into deed, his
religion into action The old-time piety
has given place to another variety i'm
finitely less selfish. Hundreds of young
men who generation ago would have
entered theological seminaries are now
engaged i'm scientific phiIanthropiC
work and in public reform movements;
young women, whose former ambition
would have been the missionary field
today are doing settlement work, dis
| trict nursing, factory and tenement
inspecting, and social Investigations.

Shearson, Hammill e. Co.-For the
