SUNDAY SUBJECTS.

"A careful search of most church
es," says the Continent (Pres.) OF
Chicago, would reveal that there are
unmustered forces which have never
been called upon Certainly it is true
in the church at large. We rejoice
in the assurance which our leaders
are giving us that the continual cry
for more ministers is being answered,
and our seminaries are increasing
their enrolment. 1t would be pity
however, if this should keep us from
calling out certain forces which we
have had all the time The Presby-
terrain church is not half using it's
laity. We have made almost a fetish
OF the presence of ordained ministers
If there is not pastor We take it for
granted that of course there will be
no marked growth in the church
There may be two or three elders
and as many deacOns and Sunday
school teachers, besides godly women
not a few, but we excuse all these
and explain that the people could not
have services since there was no
minister AS a matter of fact there
is no reason why our laymen should
not 60 into the pulpit and conduct
services, read sermons, or say what
is in their hearts to say"

{ One OF the most striking instances
of the worldwide progress OF the Sun
day school idea is found in the fact
that Tokyo, Japan, has invited the
Worlds Sunday School Convention to
meet there in 1916" says the Sunday

are keenly interested in the Sunday
school as an institution. Their inyi-
tation was unanimously accepted at
Zurich during the Worlds Convention
last July and this means that the rep
Iresentatives of Sunday school work in
many lands are gladly recognizing the
cordially and earnestness of this in
vitation, and many are looking for
ward with high expectations to the
Sun" ~ ...

probably right; but We think also
that in protesting against the slavery
of other peoples thinking some
preachers preach not what they think
but what they think they think; and
they think that thinking people can
not tell the difference between really
thinking and simply thinking that one
is thinking They'd better think
again!

BRUSH FIRE CAUSES ALARM
Frame Building in Danger-Children
are Warned.

Firemen were aroused at 1915 this
afternoon in response to an alarm sent
in from the vicinity of Mississippi
avenue and Tenth street where a
brush fire VISA rapidly spreading to-
wards some frame buildings. The
department made short work of ex-
tinguishing the blaze and no dam
age was done. Several accidents were
narrowly averted this noon when
small children were allowed to gather
in the streets and on the side walks
when teams, automobiles and bicycles
were rushing to the fire. These chill
dren do not appear to be aware of the
danger in which : they are placing
themselves and if the parents do not
keep them from : staying in the
streets and on the sidewalks at times
of fire soon some serious accident will
undoubtedly be the result. One small
boy was knocked down and slightly
scratched on Irvine avenue shortly
after the alarm sounded and it was
only by lucky incident that the
suits did not prove more serious.

Washington. June 23.-The marble
folks in the capitol statuary hall have
been having their petrified feelings
badly ruffled.
Statuary hall, as all visitors to
Washington know, is rather small in
dimensions, and as each state is al
lowed to place images of two of her
great men in this national hall of
fame, the space is getting pretty well
filled. -. -.
Having a limited space and q total
roster of SO marble people to dispose
of, the capitol employees could do
nothing else than place the statues
shoulder to shoulder around the en-
tire circumference of the room, so
that the general effect is that of a
giant ring of famous, dignified, heroic
size statesmen engaged in a perpetual
game Of drop the handkerchief.
But one day this week, to add to
the indignities that have already been
heaped upon the helpless images,
there was great creaking and pant
ing and heaving heard at the door,
and presently the new marble statue
of Zachariah Chandler, of Michigan,
inched it's way into the hall on rollers
urged by sweating men with crow
bars. The statue is to, be formally
dedicated this week. .-7 :, ~ t..-:.:
Once the big piece of stone was in
the hall, the question was where to
place it. The capitol workmen figured
it out. By changing statue or two
about, and tanning them all up a
little closer together, a space was
created for the late Mr.. Chandler

the group, but allowed him to glare
even more fiercely at Daniel Webster,
his old rival, across the hall. And

hero, who now stands little in front

LUMBERMEN BEAT BLACKDUCK

Adding a second defeat to their list
the big Bemidg" baseball team was
humbled by the fast Grand Rapids
nine yesterday afternoon by score
of Z to 4. 5...y [..a Ills -.
The game was one of the most
closely played by either team this
year and was featured with spectacu-
lar plays including a home run and
several double plays.
Bemidji led until the eighth in
ming when with three men on bases,
Bentz, pitcher for the. opponents,
tapped out four base hit over the
right fielder's head making the score
Z to 4 in their favor. No more scores
were made during the rest of the
game by either team although Benz
idji had three men on bases and only
one out. IT,.
By1clever work the pitched famed
one man and allowed the last batter
small infield grounder which was
quickly disposed of, ending the game.
Bailey brothers, Earl on third base
and Claude in left field, were in the
game all the time At fielding they
were not exceled by players on either
team and their batting was good.
Brandon and Howe did not play
/ the game they are eapabie of: and
errors on their part at critical mo-
ments proved serious for the local
team. q.
:, McKeig;> the Indian pitcher for Be-
midi pitched an excellent game but
the support rendered him wavered at
critical moments and as a result he
was not able to pitch a winning game.
One decision by the Grand Rapids
umpire was disputed by the Bemidji
players and the fans gathered in the
diamond and he was forced to with
draw the decision. With two men on
bases a Grand Rapids played knocked
a high ball out to left field and which
the local players and fans disputed
was on the left side of the foul line.
Without moving from his position be-
hind the pitcher the umpire called it
a hit and allowed the two men to
come home. Protests were Immediate
ly sounded and the decision was
withdrawn.
