We Value
of Personal
Work q

K ACH n of us as a crea-
N. ture of God has a part to
MTEN do in life. Mine may be a
H#5MW much more obscure part
@ than yours. yet am ac-
" countable to God for my
part. God does not expect those with
one talent to do what those with hve
talents will accomplish. We are all
here for a purpose and II we will an
swer the purpose Of our creation we
must give God our hearts and make a
full and complete surrender to him,
for "out of the heart are the issues OF
life"
If we would have success in doing
personal work we must ourselves be
thoroughly converted. Jesus said to
Peter. when thou are converted,
strengthen thy brethren"
In doing personal work 1t is neces-
sary that we lay aside all sin and
worldliness and let God lead our way
If we will not let him have his own
way, our power will be crippled and
mel will be lost that we might have
been instrumental in saving.
We must have a working knowl-
edge of the Bible. For the word Of
God is quick, and powerful. and
sharper than any t~wo-edged sword.
piercing even to the dividing asunder
of soul and spirit. and of the joints
and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart"
(Heb. 4:12). In Jer. 1928 we read,
"Is not my word like as a fire? saith
the Lord; and like a hammer that
breaketh the rock in ~pieces?" 1t is
able to melt and break hearts. Oh,
Christian friends, how very essential
1t is to know the Word of God. 1t Is
the instrument upon which we must
rely in doing personal work.
Prayer Not AIi-Sufficient.
We will be prayerful. We may be
free from sin and we may have the
Bible knowledge. but, unless we are
closely connected with the power
house Of God, all our efforts will be
vain.
We must pray to God to lead us to
IQ0 TlSnL person u uO pSTSOudl WoIh.
1t would not be wise to speak to every
one we meet. We must pray to God
to show US just what to say to those
to whom he leads US. Study to show
myself approved unto God, a work
man that needeth mo- be ashamed,
rightly dividing the word of truth"
Gil Tim 2:15). After all when we
have studied the blessed word, we
need Gods guiding hand at all times.
We must pray God to give power to
that which he has given US to do. We
need not only a message from God but
power from him to send the message
home Sometimes In doing personal
work we reason and plead with men
and even give them the Word OF God,
but they will not be moved. Why?
Soon we will see that we are trying to
save them in our strength and as soon
as we see the wrong and look to God
with a sincere and prayerful heart
asking him to take all self away like
the song" the work will become light
and we can expect good results.

Prospects for a good crop of pota-

the prices will rule high. The crop
will be late, owing to the spring

potatoes were bringing $3.50 per
basket, and, with a large quantity
coming in, the price al stiI holding

BALLOTING IN MONTANA.
Little Change in Standing of tn
Senatorial Candidates.

Helena, Mont, Jan. 16.-There were no
general changes in to-day's balloting for
United States Senators. although the
joint assembly meeting was character
lied by two events out of the ordinary.
Representative Bnnard made a passion
ate appeal to his colleagues to end the
deadlock by voting for Lawyer Walsh.
whom he characterized as being eminent
" qualified for the high position.
Senator Cockrell. on the other hand,
took occasion to explain his vote for
Conrad, by saying that the millionaire
b. mixer of this city had been the most
consiSten contributor to Democratic
campaign funds, and that he was ma
tional figure for the same reason. as well
as being an empire builder He expressed
the utmost contempt for those persons
and newspapers who have circulated
stories concerning alleged corruption in

day divided their vote, Senator Carter

Special to The Washington Herald.
Des Moines. Iowa, Jan. 16.-At noon to-
morrow the legislature of the State OF
States Senator to fill the vacancy caused
by the death of Senator Dolliver.- Then
it will proceed to do something else. for
nobody in Des Moines tonight has the
slightest idea that to.morrows balloting
will result in anything more than an ex-
preston of opinion on the part of the
to what particular candidate they would
like to have elected or they say they
would like to have elected.
An election or anything looking like
an election is not expected. What is
more to the point. it looks like a per-
manent deadlock. There has been no
caucus of the Republican majority. nor
is there any promise of a caucus. There
is no serious suggestion that one should
be held; there is not even a probabil-
ity that the dominant faction in the
Republican party will get together and
decide which one of its many candi-
dates it should back. The minority fac
ton is solidly back of Senator Young.
but il is a minority
The Democrats will support Claude r
Porter, and he will have 81 votes in the
senate and house; Senator Young's
strength is declared to be Al in both
houses. Estimates indicate that other
candidates, all of whom are progressive,
will have approximately the following
votes: A. B. Funk. 10: Judge Kenyon,
Is: H. w. Byers, IL; ex-Gov. Garst, 10:
former Speaker Guy Feeley. s; Senator
L. A. Frank, 2.
The first joint ballot will be taken

tiOn on Minority Findings.

tiOn on Minority Findings.

the Interior Department, was reopened
yesterday in the Senate by Senator Pur
cell. Democrat. of North Dakota, who
offered a resolution affirming the findings
of the minority members of the Congress
sional investigating committee. censuring
the Secretary. Senator Purcell was one
OF the minority members of the inveSti-
eating committee. His resolution states
that the investigation was ordered by Lon-
gress and the committee has conduct ed
it and reported. but with division
among its members as to the findings
and conclusions which should be drawn
from the evidence, and concludes:
Resolved, That it is the sense Of the
Senate that the findings and conclusions
reported by certain of the members of
said committee, to the effect that Mr..
Richard A. Ballinger, Secretary of the
Interior, has not been true to the trust
reposed in him as such Secretary; that
his administration of that Office has been
marked by a lack of fidelity to the public
interests; that he is not deserving of
public confidence. and should no longer
be retained in that Office. are based upon
ard in substantial conformity with the
evidence reported by the committee"
Under the rules Of the Senate. the reso-
luton cannot be considered for at least
one day, except by unanimous consent
Senator Purcell has Indicated his pur-
pose to press the matter and bring about
a record vote in the Senate, either for
Or against Secretary Ballinger. The anti
Ballngerites hope to develop sufficient
opposition to the Secretary to force his
retirement from the Cabinet. and they
intend to make il clear that Mr.. Ballinger
is retiring under fire, II he does retire.

DU POINT Is CAUCUS NOMINEE.
Senator VIII No Doubt Be Elected
for Full Tern.

Senator Win No Doubt BE Elected
for Full Term.
Dover, Del. Jan. 16-Republican United
States Senator Du Pont was made the
caucus nominee for senator early this
evening. The Delaware Senatorship. for
years the cause of the fiercest political
warfare at Dover. has apparently been
settled so far as the senior Senatorship
Is concerned. and for a six-year term at
that. the first time the incumbent, Henry
A. Du Pont, who was to-day made the
caucus nominee in surprisingly short
time, has ever in his sixteen years OF
candidacy enjoyed an election for a full
term of six years.
At the caucus. which lasted less than
half an hour. and at which only one bal
lot was taken. the Republican members
gave Senator Du Pont twenty-eight votes.
and one vote for Pennewill and one was
blank. The nomination was made unani-
nous on motion Of State Senator Mar
Shall. The house and senate will ballot
and meet in joint session on
Wednesday. II necessary, another ballot
will be taken one week from tomorrow.

The country at large will be we'll repre-

a similar tribute of five years ago.
Uncle joe who will be seventy-five
years old on May Z. has never been in
better form than now. He is the youngest
old man in Congress by large odds. The
hard campaign through which he passed
last year. in which, Cannonism was the
issue. apparently did not affect him in
the least. Since the social season opened
he has attended dinners nightly. made
speech after speech. danced with the debu-
tantes. and ever been nit as fiddle for
any duty falling to his lot.
All he knows about the prospective
reception is that he was asked to hold
the date of February a. 1t will be

else going on in Washington that par
ticular evening. But it does not mean
his farewell He has already come back.
