ing of society, but more than that
an active, energetic, potent force,
directed and governed by some in
tellectual power We have from
childhood heard this power of evil
called Satan or the Devil.
There are some people who say
there is no evil in the world That
God made all and God is good,
and therefore did not create cvil
and inasmuch as God created all
things and all things he called
good; therefore, there can be no
evil and there is no evil But We
know that such argument is fale
lacy. That evil by any recogniza
tion is not in harmony with good.
That it is not good 1t may be
overcome by good, but in itself
it is not good.
Though we cannot account Tor
the presence of evil. yet this we
know. Evil is here. Man is here.
Society is here. and society lives
by law. Without ii its life is
vague, incohate a hopeless
instability And in its every rN-
perincec society strives to express
itself by law. universal and imper
ative law. In its struggle 10 do
this, legal problems arise.
The first relation of the chnlrch
to legal problems is that of
supplying the sense of right and
wrong by which we distinguish
between actions as good and bad.
This is no ordinary task. The
average man is ready to say that
he can distinguish between tue
good and bad without the aid
of preacher or priest. He may
think so and no doubt. many men
can distinguish hut experience anc
history shows that it has taken Il
long time for society to arrive at
that point and it is very doubt

Milbank Ball Team
Sore Over Defeat
And Don't Want to Play Here
ANY More.

In the writc-up OF the recent
football game in this city in which
Mllbank suffered defeat for the
second time this season, the Re
view of that city contained an
awful tale of woe as to the treat.
ment accorded the visitors while
here. 1t says:
''Thc trouble started shortly
after the arrival of the local del.
egation in Sisseton. While the
Milbanll people were at dinner
bunch of Sisseton young ladies,
said to be teachers i'll the Sisse
ton school, appropriated the pcnt
nants of the local teachers and
high school girls and after con-
siderable trouble the same were
recovered. All through the
game the local teachers and high
school girls were annoyed and in
suited by Sisscton rooters, ac-
cording to reports brought home,
and after the game a Slsseton
supporter came up behind j.
MADEIRA, of tie MilbanS team,
and struck him without cause or
warning.
There is an old saying that there
arc two sides to every question.
The Standard has carefully inves-
tigatcd the matter and finds it
true of the above quotation.
The Strouble started Just a
trifle earlier than is indicated in
the above. While the Sisseton
teachers w1rc at dinner at The
hotel, the visiting Young ladies
left the dining room first and en-.
tered the parlor where thu former
had left their coats and other gar
ments. Shortly thereafter the
sSisseton gils found that their
belongings had been tampercd
: with and "A number OF tickets OF
admission to the game Were missing
from their coats. These teachers
are we'll behaved and us nice q

with a little retaliation, TO which
they had been invcd AS to the
I statement that ''aftcr the game d
Slsscon supporter came mp behind

i and struck him without cause, =
that also appears to be partly true
and partly false Investigation
shows that a man from another
n part of the county, but in no way
connected with Sisscton or the
school did strike someone, but tor

of the young ladies which he cen
Sidered insulting or annoying. II

visitors which We're not the direct
X result OF their own acts, it IS

full if the people down the line
would have made any fuss over
q these things had the game gone
the other way.

Football Boys Met Waterloo.

The local high-school football
boys were defeated by the strong
Aberdeen II last Saturday on the
local gridiron, by the score Of
38 too. The boys did the best
they could against the speedy Aber
deem team, which besides being
fast football players, averaged at
least ten pounds per man in
weight more than the locals. The
boys are not the least bit sorry
they met the Aberdeen eleven, but
woueld like another game in the
near future. They feel that they
have learnd something about foot
ball and would be able to play tn
game better than ever before.

is and always has been, there can
be nothing more fitted to the

Of the Golden Rule.
