hungry lives; full of the plnches OF
poverty, the WEAKNESS of toll, of rest

II So In any degree, because we are
not paying the debt of love and sym
pathy we owe. not only to our rela
tions and friends, but also In some
measure to our poorer neighbors, and
all our fellow creatures?
II our hearts are filed with the glo-
rious radiance of Gods love, we shall
most surely find all sorts of ways OF
manifesting IT, 1t will color all our
actions. down to the very touch of our
hand. or the smile we give to the
little stranger child in the street. And
II we dc but live In the consciousness
Of owing great debt of love, and
then strive day by day to discharge il.
we shall owe nothing else besides.
And only as we do this can we please
him and be like him, who, because
he had nothing to pay. has so freely
forgiven our great debt to him. and
who has said. "If ye love me. keep my
commandments, one of which is,

PARDEE IN BEmIDJl TODAY
Travelling Passenger Agent of North
Western Line Here.

E. L. Pardee, travelling passenger
agent of the Chicago, st. Paul, Min
neapolis and Omaha railroad, one of
the railroads which comprises the
North Western Line, is in Bemidji
today.
Mr.. Pardee is very much pleased
with Bemidji as city, and although
he has "never had the pleasure" as
he says, of visiting the city in the
summer, he thinks Bemidji has a
great future. Mr.. Pardee said this
morning:
"In my business relations with Be-
midi, I find that many people of
Missouri and Nebraska and other
states in this portion of the country
spend several of the summer months
here and at the other summer resorts
in this part of Minnesota. With its
superb summers and mild winters
together with its splendid railroad
advantages and other interests I
have much faith in the future of
your little city"
Mr.. Pardee says that his railroad
is at the present time arranging rates
for the several big conventions, such
as the National Educators Associa-
tion and international Sunday school
conventions, which are to be held in
San Francisco in June.
