Work of a Waterman.

Little by little God taught Ezekiel the
best ways to fulfill his mission. He con-
tinued to warn the people Of the sure re-
suits of their continuing in sin. Some
listened to him: there are always some
who will listen to the warnings of the
wise, but most Of the people turned
carelesSly away. God will not destroy
u.s. they said. There are good men
among the people; He will save the ma
ton for their sake. The Jewish nation
is Gods chosen vine; He will protect it
and not Destroy"
Your hope is vain." Ezekiel cried.
God says: If the people OF the land
| sin, even though there live In the land
such righteous men as Noah or Daniel
or Job, they would not even deliver their
own families; they would save them
selves alone Neither can you find safe
| ty In claiming to be Jehovah's vine. The
| vine is unfruitful. half destroyed
Jehovah can only destroy the fragment
which remains"
| So for more than four years the
prophet stood as Waterman and faith
| fully preached the truth. But the peo-
pie would not repent. They would not
believe in the approaching doom; or, il
they believed at all. they soothed them
selves with the comforting hope that it
was yet long time until the prophe-
sled season of disaster. The vision is
yet for many days to come, and he proph-
esieth of the times that are far off,
But the day OF fulfilment came; the
day when acknowledgements began the
siege of Jerusalem. On that day Ezekiel
once more approached the people. BY
Gods command he revealed the impend-
ing fate of the city. THE people in
Jerusalem think themselves safe. They
liken their strong city to a kettle, which
would keep its contents from the fire
about them. But that kettle is unfit for
use, because 1t Is covered outside and in
with rust. Therefore, God will remove
the kettles contents, heap fuel on the
fire and heat the empty vessel until il is

rubies. A passion for exact
information, the acquisition
of facts about the universe
in which we live, the perse-
vering search for truth; ha-
tired or ignorance, superstition
and prejudice, are among the
noblest things in life. But
simply to amass snowy
knowledge for the sake of
vulgar display is detestable.
The man who is always
showing off his knowledge
is always intolerant; by no
possibility could anybody be
right unless. they agree with
him. If he knew as much as
he pretends, he would put
to shame Newton, Bacon,
Solomon and Socrates. All
his goods are in his show
window. There is never any
need of stock-taking, for it
can all be seen at a glance.
He shows off for applause,
for the qualification of the
cheapest vanity. Mentally
near bankruptcy, he makes
a good appearance to those
who know no better. He
never masters one real
science, never hungerss for
one great truth, never at
tains a standing among the
immortals; he is at best a
shooting. star" and never a
glowing sun.
No matter how wise a man
is. there is always some man
who is wiser. No matter how
much he knows, there is al
ways some one who knows
more. And those who are
wisest and know most do
not make a display of their
knowledge; they use it for
their own upbuilding and for
the common good.

association may be enlarged, and there
may be a movement for betterment, pos
sibly for protection. There is ample justi-
fication for this innovation in organza-
ton and there are a good many things
which might be attempted, which, per-
haps, will not. for the present anyhow be
touched. Perhaps they would not feel
warranted in going as far as they might
with their new organization. fearing that
too much independence on their part
might be somehow an Interference with
the ministerial work in which their hus-
bands are engaged. There is a great deal
which can be said for ministers wives,
even if they are not Wiling to say it for
themselves
There is wide range of definition as
to what constitutes the duties of a min
listers wife outside her own home, and
there are very many who will contend
that they have no outside duties different
from those whose husbands are otherwise
employed.

Call of a Prophet.

Ezekiel was an exile. He was living
with some of the Jews who had been
taken to the vicinity Of Babylon, while
many of their countrymen were left in
Jerusalem. They were eager to return
TO their own land. and anxiously awaited
news of those dwelling at home They
seemed altogether unconscious of the
fact that they were in exile because they
had broken Gods commandments. And
God chose Ezekiel to declare his word
unto them.
The manner of Eek els call to his work
is worthy of note. Ezekiel had a vision
Of great cloud, rapidly approaching
driven by furious wind. The cloud was
surrounded by a splendid light, which
was produced by a fire that glowed like
polished metal Four strange creatures
were within the cloud. Supported by Their
heads and wings was an arch, clear as
crystal On this arch was throne. On
the throne was. Jehovah himself. When
Ezekiel realized that ne was in the very
presence of God. he reverenly fell on his
face and worshiped

"M LITTLE knowledge

for it may easily make a
man a great fool. He may
have all the DDS" so plenti-
fully sprinkled through our
honorary nomenclature asso-
ciated with learning and
still be a charlatan, a hum
bug and an ignoramus about
some of the finest and great
est things in life. The half
educated man is inclined to
show off; sometimes by a
pompous manner that would
bring ridicule on a genius
sometimes by swelling
words, whose meaning he
does not know; sometimes
by a supercilious manner
which suggests that every
body else is but one remove
from idiocy, and sometimes
by a contemptuous attitude
toward all those who are
outside the so-called learned
circles.
What is knowledge for?
For use, of course; for use
in making the world health
ier, happier and better. Pope
wrote of Bacon as "the
wisest, brightest and mean

temptible ways. "knowl-

- HE sailor collar, always a
standard pattern, is much
used in the fall as
decorative feature TO the
half-woolen dresses and smart
coats.
This design, which could be
made in all white, is not, how
ever, designed for that purpose.
1t is pattern for the employ
ment of silks and gold tinsel upon
silk or wooden fabric. Too, it
will be handsome in any develop
ment OF heavy cottons.
The original idea is to work
the fieur de lis with gold thread
and all minor details with color
to harmonic with the fabric on
which it is embroidered. The ex-
IRENE, or buttonhole. edge should
be neutral tone of silk. The
satin stitch is used. This pattern
when worked in vivid red and
Dutch blue makes a pretty linen
collar to wear with morning XII
monos or short waists. Its in
Vulnerable uses will suggest them
selves to those who fashion the
collars for gifts.
To Transfer This Design.
DUT cake of soap Qaundry
/ will do) in a pint of hot
water, stir vigorously and re-
move the soap. Saturate this de-
sign with the soap and water
mixture, then remove the excess
moisture by partially drying the
saturated design or by applying
a sheet of plotting paper. Place
the material or fabric to which
the design is to be transferred on
a hard, fiat surface, and lay the
design face down upon the mate
rial. Cover with a dry sheet of
thick paper or two folds of news
paper, and with the bowl of a
tablespoon rub, pressing hard,
until the design is entirely trans
ferred, being careful to rub from
rather than toward you.
When rubbing you can see
if enough pressure is being APP
piled by lifting the corner OF the
design, to note how we'll it is
taking. Do not wet the ma
terial nor rub the face of the de-
sign with damp fingers. To re-
move the design lines after the
article is completed, wash in warm
water with soap. The entire
process is very simple. and with a
little care you can easily make
perfect transfers to any kind Ct
goods.

Thus Ezekiel the Waterman, continued
his work. and thus the people continued
to resist his appeals. Ezekiel had done
his duty: God had shown His love ana
the people had shown the very hard
ness of heart that still keeps so many
from understanding that God is waiting

HOT CAMPAIGN At BRAIMERD
Socialists Import Several Speakers to

Brainerd, Mimi, March 2S.-This
springs mayoralty campaign at

.HlnN ron !! |! - SPEAK here
will Talk in Bemidji Early Next
Month on Commission Plan.

It is more than likely that John J.
Hamilton of Des Moines, who has
made study of the commission form
of municipal government, will ad-
dres the residents of Bemidji on or
about Sunday April g.. 49,
A letter has been received by Al
derman K. X. Roe to the effect that
Mr.. Hamilton was to start for the
coast about the eighth of next month
and that if it was agreeable to all
concerned he would be very much
plaased to talk upon the subject OF
commission form of government at
that time.
That Mr.. Hamilton understands
the commission plan thoroughly,
there is no doubt, as he has written
a book on the subject, and no citizen
of this city who is interested in a
better municipal government should
fail to here him when he talks here.
