Giles lone-handed, reflects a veritable
sunburst of that optimism which MOTH
ing but the Gospel could have in
spired. when he exclaims: I'VE are
troubled on every side, yet not dis
tressed; we are perplexed, but not
in despair; cast down, but not de-
stroyed; for our light affiiction. which
is but for the moment, worketh for us
a far more exceeding and eternal
weight of glory" He who would
have the comfort and support of such
optimism, must arise to the conscious
ness that the law governing the re-
wards of faith is higher than himself.
and keep in remembrance that the
cause is Gods, and that fidelity to
him and his cause can never miss
the mark.

with this point he said: Round

a new spirit actuated them.
The whole northwest was awak-

little more to fan the passions of

TO STAND TODAY
Gives Expert Testimony in
international secur-
tiles Case.

8. Torgerson,. cashier of the Scan
dinavian American bank was exam
ined by w. A. Mcintyre. attorney for
the state in the district court this
morning in the International Securi-
ties company case
Mr.. Torgerson was summoned by
the state as an expert on financial
matters in an effort to show that the
'mortisement' plan of farm loans
which the company intended to put
into effect could not have been a
success.
Practically all Of the questions
which were asked the witness by Mr.
Mcintyre were objected to by MT.
Bangs, who declared that they were
devised to cause prejudice against his
clients, and had nothing to do with
the matter at issue.
Mr.. Torgerson's testimony was to
the effect that money could be secured
in the east for farm loans at six per
cent interest. but only by responsible
concerns. .
e. Sandlie, manager Of the Inter-
rational Securities company, had pre-
viously testified that he had told
some of his stockholders that the
company should be able to secure
money at that rate in the eastern
centers.
The hearing in the case probably
will be concluded this afternoon.
