An appeal TO the supreme court will

The object OF this act is neither to
take from the owner nor absolutely
to prohibit the use Of pipe lines here
tofore within mis- control. II does, how
ever, condition that use in interstate

use bv the general public on payment

new Conference
GRANTED CANADA
Thirty three Congreg a tons
Within Augustana Synod
to Be Organized.

A new conference will soon be form
ed within the Augustana synod. At
the session of the Minnesota confer
ence just finished, permission was
granted TO the congregations situated
in Canada to organize a conference TO
be known as the Canada conference.
A movement in this direction has been
on foot for some time, but lacked the
approval Of the Minnesota conference
until now.
The Minnesota conference not only
granted permission 10 the Canada con-
gregations to organize, but also voted
$1,000 to aid the new conference dur
ing It's first year The Minnesota con
ference also decided TO ask the Angus
tana synod to receive the new confer
I ence into its fellowship and to extend
aid 10 the movement.
The meeting Of the organizati ton will be
held in Stockholm. Saskatchewan. Can
ada, the date to be decided by the
executive committee of the Minnesota
+ conference. The president of the Min
neEota conference will preside.
There are now 80 congregations IN
Canada. There are 10 in Alberta. in
Manitoba, in Ontario and 20 in Sas-
katchewan. The Canada district is in
the nature OF q mission field. and many
more Lutheran churches ara needed IN
various places. II is believed that
with the organization Of q Canada con.
ference this work will progress more
rapidly.

PR0DIGAL SON Is
DR.. REDDING'S THEME

The Prodigal Son" was Dr. J. c.
Redding's theme at Central Presbyter-
ian church last evening and those who
were present received a new vision of
that most familiar of texts. The solo,
Look Unto Him and Be True" was a
sermon in itself as DR.. Redding sang
it. He stated before singing that this
song was his honest, true convictions
of the greatest need OF this world"
DR. Redding has been told that his
power is greater for saving those who
are lost because he has been down
himself, but very emphatically he does
not believe it. He said: mo fruit
keeps any better by being half rotten
before you put it away" The address
was in part as follows:

BOMB. NO. z FIRED
AT DU PREF JOINT
Hart Continues Fight Against
Dive-Information Filed in
County Court.

Bomb No. 2 in the war against the
infamous DuPrez dive was fired by
Commissioner Archie Hart today when
he appeared before States Attorney
Floyd E. Thompson and filed informa-
ton in the county court, setting forth
that the hole in the WALL is a COM
mon, ill-governed and disorderly house
and asking that the proprietor be
hailed before the county tribunal TO
show cause why the joint should not
be closed
Tuesday morning DuPrez threw
down the gauntlet to Commissioner
Hart and in heated argument threat
ened TO get out his hammer against
the administration and show it up"
after he had been warned that he
must discontinue his business. DuPrez
asked that he be allowed a period Of
80 days to dispose of his place, but
this request was denied by Hart, who
stated that immediate action would
be instituted to put the dive out Of
the running forever. DuPreZ had been
notified TO cease operations some time
ago. and the matter was brought to
head by a recent stabbing ARRAY
which had its incipiency in the place.
The DuPrez joint has been an eye
sore for over a year. Lewd women
have frequented the place at all hours
of the night, and patrons have repeat
eddy reported to the police Of having
been robbed. Commissioner Hart is
determined TO wipe the place off the
city map and this morning announced
that he was going TO push the matter

Luke 1911. There are two of every
thing; heat and cold, light and dark
ness. God and the devil. He had two
sons, the Jew (the elder brother and
the Gentle (the younger brother. The
father divided all he had. the Gentle
wasted his substance, but the Jew
kept his and gave It to US, our bible;
there is only one Gentle author in
the whole book, Or. Luke The key
TO the whole parable is And when he
came to himself
Friends, did you ever get q good
look at yourself? Down there among
those swine he had a vision Of him
self. He had vision OF his fathers
house. That should be the preaching
for today, fathers house, fathers love,
fathers power, life eternal, resurrec-
ton"
DR.. Redding gave very graphic pic
ture Of the sinner going home. He
had disgraced his fathers name, he
had disgraced his brothers name, but
his father ran to meet him. God is
angry when we sin, but There is JOY
in the presence Of the angels OF God
over one sinner that repenteth."
Teachers in public schools Judge
the homes from which the children
come very largely by the children.
People judge God by US. The world
is condemning God and Gods house
because Of us.
The fatted calf belonged to the Jew.
the elder brother. He was in his field
where he had been these many years
serving his father. When the Gentle
church came in 1000 years ago what
did the Jewish church do? The Gen
tile church has not done one thing
for the Jew.
DR.. Redding ever holds before Chris
tains that our Master was a Jew and
that we are taking the wrong attitude
toward His nation.
The sermon for this evening is one
of DR.. Redding's strongest, God or
the Devil. which,"
