supporters of the original proposition

The trial by Curtiss was unan-

BRAVED The RAIN.
Two Hundred People Hear DR.. Sco-
vile in Spite of Storm.

Although the rain came down in
sheets and the conditions were dis
agreeable, 200 people were present at
the Auditorium Thursday night to hear
the sermon of DR.. Charles Reign
Scoville.
E. Rockwell, musical director,
opened the service of the evening with
an old time song, that put enthusiasm
into the hearts of everyone present.
DR.. Scoville took for his text, 'Fa-
ther the hour has come" and
preached a sermon to church mem
bers He asked his audience if the
time had ever come to them when
everything in their life depended on
one act they should perform.
He said he once heard the descrip-
ton of the Battle of the Wilderness
and before the climax came the COM
on" and that this statement had done
him a world of good, that in the fight
for right and the cause of Christ, all
one can do is to hold their place and
march on.
He said to those who might be dis
couraged by the condition of the at
mosphere, that the rain that was
gently falling outside was worth
S5,0O0,0O0 to the state OF Kansas and
that after it had cleared away more
than twice the work car be done in a
single day than through all the murky
weather.
He said he believed a great spiritual
harvest was at hand and that the hour
had come for every Christian to be up
and doing He told of the board of
trade of the samples of grain they
had in their building, and yet behind
that sample was millions of bushels,
that even the waving fields backed up
that sample, and so with the work of
the church. In Topeka, he believed a
genuine revival, a spiritual harvest of
souls is at hand.
He said Lincoln's plea was Union
and Liberty" and so is the plea of
the Christian church. 'FUnion" in
Christ, and Liberty to win our fell
low men for Christ. He said too many
times, when the hour had come. and
the time to show faith in our fellow
men, We failed. Jesus Christ never
failed in His faith in men, Dr. SEQ
VILE said there was nothing on earth
that he hated any worse than the be-
trayal of a friend, that it was his pol
icy to be kind to everyone and en-
phasize the fact that Jesus came to
seek and save. That there is nothing
In the world like Christianity; that
he loves advancement, and that it was
the only thing that can change any
one radically wrong to one radically
good.
There are no second hand crowns
for rent in Heaven; no rooms for rent
on the golden streets; each one had to
do his own work; that Go ye' meant
each and every one, and that to trust
in God was the one way to accom-
plish the task. To pray without ceas-
ing, but not prayer alone, to work
without ceasing also.
He urged the people to get in to
service, to do and be for Jesus.
At the invitation CALL four persons
made the confession.
Dr. Scoville's subject for tonight will
be, Eye Must Be Born Again" Bap-
tismal services will be held preced-
ing the sermon.

Britain Is Agitated.
London. Feb. 17.-Whether as is sus-

Bennett of New York had no more

there is no room for doubt that this
Canadian annexation resolution intro

puRANp DEFENDS IOWA.

E. Dana Durand. director of the
census, has an article in the current
number of Worlds Work on why Iowa
suffered a slight loss in population
during the past decade. Comment.
ing upon the fact that in Indiana. Iowa
and Michigan more than half the
counties decreased in population. he
says that this decline in rural popu.
lation is very far from being due to
lack of prosperity On the contrary
the agricultural statistics collected by
the census bureau show an enormous
increase In the value OF farm property
in this great territory since 1900, and
show also that the yield of the princi-
pal crops was at least as great in
1909 as in 1899 and the value of that
tics for dairy and other similar pro-
ducts and for minor crops are tabulat.
ed, it is expected that they will show
an even more striking increase in the
Director Durand continues:
Particularly remarkable are the
agricultural statistics for Iowa in com
parison with the population statistics.
Despite a considerable decrease in
the rural population, the value of
farms Cincluding buildings) increased
during the ten wears no less than
1873 per cent The average value OF
farm land per ace increased about two
and one-third times during this short
period. Every one knows that the
farmers in this north central section
have been growing srich. that their
homes are more comfortable. and that
they have more conyeniences than
ever before. Why. then, Is the rural
population decreasing?
Perhaps 1t may be that this very
prosperity OF the farmers accounts
for the decline in population. With
the higher prices which they have
received for their products, they could
afford TO buy better machinery, which
reduced the need for labor. Again
it is likely that many farmers have
felt unwilling to divide up their land
among their sons, reducing each OF
them TO smaller farm than his
father had enjoyed: instead they have
been able, BY reason of their pros.
perity, to, send their sons to newly
opened agricultural territory in the
west or southwest or Canada and
furnish thenA the means to start for
themselves on a larger scale than
would have bAen possible at home.
