POINTS IN SUNDAY SERMONS.

The Rev Lee 8. McCollester, in his
Sunday morning sermon on The OPP
timist's definition of the Judgment
day" said: Among the phrases that
have enslaved mems minds is that OF
the great judgment day study Of
history shows this TO be a doctrine OF
paganism, grated into Christianity. II
was made realistic in the early church
by Dante's Divine Comedy and An.
gelo's painting Of the Last Judgment
AS a work of art, Angeles fresco Is
worth all the admiration II receives,
but II is false teacher OF religion. II
Is the voice OF unreason and un-Chris-
tianity. The church cannot prove a
great judgment day, a final dividing of
good and evil, but experience proves
to all OF us the underlying principle
OF accounting for good and evil. There
is not one far of judgment day, but
every day is Judgment day"

deliver a number Of addresses In diff

J.HADLEY HEARD FROM
Studebaker Man Who Recently
Stopped Council From Street Clean
- ing Purchase, at Mankato.
IN NEW TANGLE OVER FLUsHER

The following from the Mankato
Daily Free Press will be read with
special interest in Bemidji because
L. j. Hadley of the Studebaker COM
pany recently appeared before the
council here in an effort to sell street
sweeping machinery to the city and
as a. result of his agitation caused
previous bids of the Austin Manu-
featuring company Of Chicago to be
thrown out and new bids asked. At
present Bemidji is delaying purchase
Of street cleaning machinery pending
an Investigation of work done in 9TH
er cities. The Free Press says:
SsL. ]. Had1ey of Minneapolis, rep
resenting the Studebaker company,
appeared before the city council at
its meeting this morning to take up
the matter of street flushing. Some
time ago the Studebaker company
sold to the city street fusher with
a guarantee of one year. During the
course of the year $50 has been paid
out for repairs, and as the company
guaranteed the fusher, the city
sought to have this money refunded
There was balance of $5S due the
Studebaker company on this machine
and after Commissioner Humiston
had taken the matter up, compro-
mise was agreed upon, whereby the
bill for $50 would be cancelled and
the company's bill of $50 would be
cancelled, thus making both bills
cancelled. Some complaint has been
made of late by the citizens and of
icials about the fiusher, claiming
that the force of the water wears
away the brick and the cement be-
tween the brick.
Mr.. Hadley then gave little talk
about the success of the dusher in
other cities where it is used on brick
pavement. He stated that Faribault
has a fusher and after using it for
some time, thought SO well of it,
that the mayor would not resort to
the old time method of sweeping the
streets, and SO we'll satisfied were
the council that the mayor wrote a
letter to the mayor of Bemidji rec
ommending the fusher as the only
sanitary and economic method OF
sweeping the streets Fargo also
seems well satisfied with the fusher
It reduces the sprinkling cost and
does the work better, so it is claim

letter to the company, stated that SC
