Wilkinson of Burlington, president OF
the Upper Mississippi River Improve
ment association, embodied in an ad-
dress, the suggestion, that the big
dam, one of the greatest monuments
of modern skill and science be named
after its builder Cooper Dam" The

and no doubt, all that remains to be
done is to ues that name, says the
Burlington Hawk-Eye.
Once started, nothing can stop 1t
and If some more or less prominent

Prophet, priest, preacher and seer
are in way synonymous terms.
David, King of Israel, was prophet
and seer, having risen from the
humble state of a shepherd boy who
Played his harp on the hillside in the
moonlight King David was guilty OF
an offense that has become more or
SIS typical of preachers and proph-

lips, when he said in his haste, all

A new prophet, priest and seer OF
the present day, Rev. Elmer Y. HUI
fer. pastor of the First Christian
church OF Grand Junction, Colo, has
continued the type by speaking very
'unadvisedly with his lips" and there
by committing graver offense than
to call "all men liars" Indeed. Da-
vid's offense had been condoned in al
least one instance when the Scotch
preacher quoted the psalmist's words
for his text and then folding his arms
over the pulpit looked down at his
&
congregation with the opening re
mark, 1T was in your haste We sale
