God calls men into service from dit
ferent stations OF life. Paul, who was
originally Saul OF Tarsus, was one of
the most learned men of his day, and
had countless number of university
degrees after his name, When God
calls man he calls strong one,
not weakling. Peter was the ex-
ample of the man who had no college
degrees. and yet proved himself true
disciple.
Closing remarks.
Last OF all I bring you to our elder
brother, Jesus Christ, the most loving

Cedar Rapids Attorney Spoke in a
ForcefuI Manner Before Y. NJ. c.
a. Mems Meeting Yester-
day Afternoon.
SUBJECT MAN WANTED"
To-day the Call for Men is Greater
Than Ever He Said, And
God Wants Man for
a Mans Job.

Attorney Max j. Randall, Esq, SEN
ior member of the law firm of Randall,
Courtney and Harding, of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, was the speaker at the
Sunday afternoon Young Mems Chris
ton Association meeting. His subject
was MAN Wanted"
The speaker stated that this sign
was often displayed in windows
even in saloon windows, but the in
depreciation he desired to give it was
along another line. He referred to the
beginning of the world and mans Gre
alton. Man is the compliment of God.
Man, however, has turned himself
from God Man used the power that
God gave him turning away from God.

Speaker Refers to Dam.

Il notice that you are about to
construct a dam across the Father of
Waters In considering this project
it was necessary to make borings to
test the soil and find out where the
solid rock laid. The speed and strength
of the current and the materials to
be used in the construction and the
estimated amount of horse power
which can be produced. In the service
of God it is also necessary to look at
the materials. We have to control
our passions, keep our brain clear and
active and the virility of strong man
hood. No one would think of putting
the sword of giant in the hands OF
a baby. 1t takes Goliath to do this
The service OF God is unlimited w
are building not for life but countless
ages in eternity.
Business Methods In the Church.
"For too long a time the church has
been left to old women's clubs and
babies, while man has stood on the
outside, as they though the Job was
not big enough for them. If men
protesting to be christians run their
business in the same way they lend
their efforts in christian service. most
of them would be bankrupt in sixty
days. BY service do not mean punch
ing the clock or drawing salary.
Every man owes duty to God, the
same duty to himself, but do mean
that while We are doing christian SER
vice We should be as enthusiastic
about it as we are in our business.
God gives us every joy, what do we
give in return?
Good Comes From God.
Our worldly assets we take care Of
pay the rent, buy the fuel.
etc. How different life would be if
we had the same interest in taking
care of things belonging to God; then
would result in poverty being swept
away The saloon. "red light" dis
tricts, gambling and civic righteous
ness would rule. This is mans job
and he is daily coming 10 realize it
All the good in the world has come
down from God. Many man used
to think that he was all right if he
had college diploma or his name on
some church register, but now the
question for every man is-what can
you do?

The speakers for the MooO1ead school

term may be pardoned, was the GIN
ger of the team. He had the words
and knew how to use them and he was
remarkably good in grammatical ex-

fault on the part of the visitors. For
the Crookston school the speakers

u. S. DEPUTY FOR
N. D. not NAMED
UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS AS.
sIsTANT HAS NOT BEEN NAMED
WILL BE SELECTED BY THE
ATTORNEY cENERAL-ENGER-
I'd HAS NO SUGGESTIONS.

THE United States assistant attor-
ney for the district of North Dakota
has not been named" said Judge Ed
ward Engerud today in an interview
with representative Of, The Forum.
Continuing, Mr.. Engerud said, II
have not discussed the question of my
assistant with anyone, nor have /
made any suggestions regarding whom
would prefer for a deputy. The mat
ter of the deputy's appointment rests
entirely with the attorney general, and
know no more about who, will be Sc
lected than you do.
AS to when the assistant United
States attorney will be named, / cam
not say, for have never been given
any information on this subject All
know is that the attorney general is
the person who names my assistant,
but who he will select and when he
will name the man, has never been
mentioned to me-
The newly appointed U. S. attorney
for the flickertail state said that it
was mistaken idea that the power
Of naming the assistant rested with
him. He also stated that the rumor
to the effect that he would name any
certain attorney In the state, was false
and groundless. as he neither had the
right to do this, and furthermore he
had never proposed the name of any
one.

JOS. '. GODFREY.
DIES SUDDENLY
MooRHEAD SHOCKED WHEN
NEWS OF HIS DEATH WAS RE-
PORTED - END CAME AFTER
ONLY FEW DAYS OF SICKNESS
WILL BE GREATLY MISSED.

NO community was ever more
shocked than were the people of Moor
head when they heard of the demise,
about $3.50 yesterday afternoon, of
Joseph V. Godfrey. the well known
contractor and business man of Moor
mead Quite unexpectedly Mr.. Godfrey
suecumbed to pneumonia. Mr.. Godfrey
was about town last Tuesday-in fact,
he attended a meeting of the Masons
In the evening. He never, left the
house after returning from the meet
ing. The seriousness of his condition
became apparent yesterday morning,
and frequent inquiries began to be
made at noon and soon afterwards.
All members of his immediate fam
liy, In the city, were present when the
maj dissolution came and the circle
included DR.. and Mrs. e. M. barrow
OF Fargo. The bereaved wife is the
daughter of DR.. and Mrs. ID. c. OAR
row.
Mr.. Godfrey was SO years of ace. and
besides his family he is survived nv
father and mother and a brother who
are residents of Boston. The brother
A w. Godfrey left Boston this mornino
for Moorhead, to attend the funeral
which will be held on Tuesday. the
time and place to be announced later.
He was senior deacon in the local
lodge of A. F. & A. M, was a member
of the Congregational church of Moor
head and actively identified with it's
interests, and he had always been an
active member and worker in the com
mercial club, and always considered
1T a duty to be Identified with tbe
general affairs of the city and county.
Hardly will any one citizen of the city
be more missed than will Joseph v.
Godfrey, for he was always a familiar
figure in the every day life of the
city. Besides a wife he leaves two
small children. The passing away of
Mr.gGodfrey has created deep grief all
over the city.

Chicago Gossip,

Chicago, Ill, Jan. Elf the local
traders in wheat have been at sea
for time they were in a worse pre-
dictment last night and few of them
were willing to express any positive
opinion as to the immediate course of
values. The gossip was TO the effect
that the Armour Lichstern crowd had
bought more wheat than they sold but
that some of the longs had dumped
their lines on the advance.
G. w. Partridge was credited with
selling wheat, but there was some
reason to doubt this. Armour bought
a lot of wheat early, firming the mar
ket and later Chaplin bought about
100000, May forcing the price up to
1O1 Il. At this point there was veriable
deluge Of wheat. 1t came from all
sides of the pit and prices were off
half cent in short order. Later buying
rallied prices, but near the close, what
appeared to be long liquidation, start
ed in again and led to selling by the
local crowd There was some gossip
to the effect that the chief bulls had
tried to seel a little wheat and found
the market would not take it and that
they had tried to bolster it, as a re-
ult of the break sentiment was near
ly unanimous on the bear side among
the local traders, after the close.

FARMER TALKS OF

THOUSAND DOLLARS IF 1T

Valley City, N. D., Jan. 21.-Wil-
liam Larsman, the we'll known farm
er living down the river in this coun-
ty, was in the city yesterday and
was much pleased at the agitation
started for the extension of the Mil
waukee from Harlem to Valley City.
Mr. Larsman said: II have always
favored the extension of the Milwau-
kee to Valley City. So firmly am
convinced that it is a good thing for
the southern part of this county that I
will give a right of-way and $1,000
If the extension hits my farm.
cannot give the right of way IL it
does not strike the farm, but will
give $1,000 just the same If it comes
within six miles of my farm.
If the road is built north through
Lisbon, or Fort Ransom those towns
Will get busy with the farmers in their
sections. 1t appears to me the proper
way to get the road is to get the peo-
pie of the towns through which it goes
to sign up relative to what business
they viii give to it and what helm
they would extend to encourage If
The farmers should do the same thing
circulated petition last summer
and got farmers in my section not only
to agree to haul their grain to II but
to agree to subscribe so many shares
to an Independent elevator if located
within certain, distance.
Il believe the road can be secured
IL the business men of Valley Citv get
together and go after it."

EAST SIDE NOTES.

Fergus Falls Journal: The new
management Of the state fair promises
more space and attention for the ag-
ricultural features and less for the
vaudeville attractions. President Glot-
felter is also in favor of lower rates
for the grandstand so that the poor
can get chance to sit down.
. The board of education at Fergus
Falls have reelected Superintendent
Mclean as head of the public school
system for another year.
Mankato Free Press; Minneapolis
police officers are invited to read this
paragraph from The Journal of that
city: I'm the post-morten investiga-
ton of local robberies and burglaries,
one of the compelling features is the
superabundance Of the clues coupled
with the paucity of final results.
The dispatches say that Congress-
man STEVENSON has been having some
animated talks with Commissioner
Valentine of the interior department.
Bemidji is to have a new and very
spacious union depot.
Yes, there are going to be some
surprises on the stage of Moorhead's
city politics and they will make two
or three wrry faces, but there are
only few days to wait and then the
fun will be on.
Jack Erickson and liver Solem were
committed to the county Jail yester-
day for ninety days, for the theft of
a fur lined overcoat said to be worth
$95. The coat was found by the Far
go police in one Of the pawn shops
along Front street.
K. G. Wangrud of Litchville, N. d.,
a prominent farmer and business man,
was among the visitors in the city.
He was here in the interests of the
Farmers store of his town and was
comforting with +. H. Peterson.
Services will be held at the Congre-
gational church as usual tomorrow
morning and evening. During the
morning service the quartetLe choir
will sing the anthem, The Sun Shall
No More Go Down, by Brown, and also
one by Dudley Buck, Jesus Savior,
Pilot Me. The chorus choir will supply
the music for the evening service.
Seven different places of business
We're Sburglarized at GAINESVILLE last
Wednesday night, and it is stated that
the night police were wholly unaware
of what had been done until they were
old by the owners of the stores. Little
property was taken, the thieves seem
ingly looking for money only, an asset
not easily identified 1t is estimated
that only SIS in cash was rounded up.
The places visited were Ben Hollis,
T. Guinness Co.'s store, AL Robinson's
butcher shop; Thompson, Felde & Co 8
store, GAINESVILLE roller mills, Farmers
elevator, and G. A. Haagensons place
of business.

The girl who wears tortoise shell
