Q.-lf Christ was God the Father, and
God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit,
how could voice from heaven say,
when He was on earth, sThis is my be-
loved Son"7 IT. 81
Answer.-This is an age of general
enlightenment. Knowledge Is increas-
ing along all lines. and especially so
in regard to the teachings Of the Scrip
lures. The superstitions and theories
of the darker past are fading away In
the light that is gradually widening
out into the perfect day, The shadows
of ignorance and prejudice are still
lingering here and there; brt those
minds of bolder sway that have burst
the bonds and shackles of the creeds
and traditions of former times, are re
joicing in the glorious liberty that
comes to those who know the truth.
Gods Word has been woefully misrep-
resented both by friends and foes. and
because many have been taught TO be-
lieve that the absurd theories found
In the creeds are contained in the BIZ
bic; these in the light of our day are
rejecting the Bible as the inspired
Word of God in place Of studying the
Scriptures to ascertain what they real
ly teach. The expression OF the creeds.
contained in the question, is nowhere
found in the Bible. Our Lord Jesus
never claimed TO be "God the Father
but always said that He was the Son
of God 'sMy Father is greater than
l." "God sent His Son into the world
Our Lord Jesus was not His own Fa-
Their: but. as the Scriptures declare he
''was the beginning Of the creation OF
Cod" The voice from heaven to the
Son on earth proves absolutely. unless
we deny our reasoning faculties and
become unreasonable, that the Heav-
enly Father and our Lord Jesus are
fsoO distinct personalities

al would like to inquire about
"Pureatory" II there is such a place
where is II taught in the Scriptures?
tR. CO.
Answer.-The word "Purgatory" is
from the Latin, and signifies primarily
a place of'purifcation or making clean.
The thought usually involved in the
consideration of the term is that an in
termediate state or condition exists for
those who die, and who at the time of
death. while processing Christianity.
were not sufficiently cleansed from
their sins to Justify an immediate en-
trance into heaven, the abode OF the
pure and sanity ones. Hence they
must expiate their sins by enduring
intense suffering in flames and sor-
row for period Of time in proportion
to the amount of sin 10 be eradicated.
We are not aware that this view is set
forth in the Bible. There is, however.
a condition of purgatory presented in
the. teachings Of the Scriptures. 1t is
becoming clear to all enlightened BIZ
BILE scholars that the period Of Christ's
reign on earth for the space of a thou
sand years, when Satan is bound and
the knowledge OF the Lord is filing the
whole earth as the. waters cover the
great deep. that then the nations Of
earth will learn righteousness and
gradually be pnrQed Of all iniquity and
unrighteousness and in this way be
prepared to enter into the conditions
of eternal life. This. of course. will be.
after the second advent. The world is
not to be scorched and blistered in
vain attempt to make it ps,re and up
right. but the Lord win rule in right.
eousness and love end win the race by
His kindness and tender mercies.
Mankind will be purged from sin and
selfshness and prepared by Restitu-
ton for eternal life.

GIVES TEN FARMS AWAY.
Parents Present Each of Their Ten
Children With An Iowa
Farm.

Atlantic, Ia, Dec. 3.-The ten
children of Mr.. and Mrs L. P. Mel
son, living eight miles north of here
were each presented with a farm on
Thanksgiving day by their parents.
The gifts were made entirely with
out previous knowledge of the chill
dren and naturally created an air of
great JOY in the family, all of whom
were present at the old home for a
family gathering. The affair also
was in the nature of a reception 10
the daughter, Mrs. Harry Traum,
who was recently married.
The farms which made up this
magnificent gift are located in Cass
and Audubon counties. In making
the presentation after the dinner
hour, Mr.. Nelson called all Of the
children about him and told them it
had been his ambition to see the bulk
of his estate divided among the mem
bers of the family. He then asked
them to decide among themselves
what farms most met with Their
ideals and choice and an amicabie
agreement was easily reached among
them.
Mr.. Nelson came to this country
from Denmark in 1864. He first To-
Gated in Lacrosse, Wisconsin, and
came to Iowa IL 1870. He was a
passenger to Iowa on the first passen-
ger train which entered the state
over the Rock Island railroad from
Des Moines to Atlantic. After shar-
ing with his children he still has
property sufficient to furnish an am
pie income for the remainder of his
life.

INJURED MANY TINES.
Remarkable List of Injuries Suffer.
ed by GladbrOOk Man.

George w. Hvlse, of Gladbrook,
who is dangerously sick of pneumo-
mia at the Deaconess hospital has
had a most remarkable experience
with wounds and injuries.
Mr.. Hulse is ~ years of age. That
he has lived as long as he has is evil
dence of the unusual vitality of the
man, for he has sustained no less
than two wounds and five serious in
juries. Any one of two or three of
these misfortuncs might easily have
proved fatal.
Mr.. Hulse is veteran of the civil
war At the battle of Chickamauga
he was wounded in the abdomen and
within two hours he was wounded in
the head. He still carries the latter
bullet, that lies close to the brain.
Several years after the war closed
he suffered his first accident when he
lost a hand in the cogs of well
drilling machine. At one time later
he had two ribs fractured and still
later three other ribs were broken
in an accident.
About twelve years ago the load Of
hay he was riding on was blown
over, and one collar bone and one
shoulder were fractured. Last July
he was thrown out of buggy when
his horse ran away, and in this acc:-
dent two fingers injured in one of the
other accidents, and permantly s.if-
fened, were broken off and his shout
der and arm were fractured. But
he rallied from this severe injury,
and it was to repair the damage done
to the shoulder that he was operated
on at the Deaconess hospital ten days
ago. He was improving steadily
when pneumonia developed Wednes-
day night.

When the flock of laying hens are

ventilated quarters, there is no rea-
son why every hen on the place will
not lay an average of four dozen eggs

then the girls parents give be-
trothal pledge to those of the bride
groom, who soon after offer the pur-
chase price for the bride in silver,
jewels, stuffs, food, and SO on. Each
of the girls parents also receives
some special personal gift.
On the day when the presents are
delivered all the relatives and friends
on both sides are invited to a series
of festivities and banquets, which last
several days, being furnished first by
one side and then by the other. The
eve of the actual wedding, which usu-
ally takes place week later, is spent
by the future husband and wife in
vigil, without which it is thought that
great ill-fortune would follow
Next day the happy couple, with
their parents and friends, appear be-
fore the priest, who duly unites them.
The procession then returns to the
house Of the bride, where another big
feast is held At the close of the
day two old women conduct the BRIDE
groom to the bridal-room, where, on
a huge bedstead, amid multitude Of
pillows, holsters and coverlets, sits
the bride. For three days and three
nights the old women stay with them.
The couple are hardly allowed to
speak, and any advances the BRIDE
groom make make are, according to
etiquette, left unnoticed by the coy
bride.
After this somewhat trying ordeal
the old women discreetly retire, and
the happy pair are left alone to take
up the threads OF their new life.

TO MOVE MISSION COLLEGE
Sheboygan Secures Reformed Church
School Located at Franklin
Since 1860.

Sheboyg The Mission House
college, the oldest and largest educa-
tional institution of the Reformed
church of the United States, will be
removed to Sheboygan from Frank
lin, an unincorporated village twelve
miles northwest of here, where it has
been located for the last> fifty-four
years. This decision, just made by
the board of trustees of the institu-
ton ends a controversy which has
been waged for over three years.
The Mission House college was
established Dec. 6, 1860. The insti-
tuition is under the control of the
three synods of the Reformed church
of the United States. the northwest
synod, the central synod and the
German synod of the east, but is
supported by the German Reformed
church throughout the United States.

ANNUAL MAY FETE is HELD
University of Wisconsin Goods Wei
come Spring With Exercises
on Campus at Madison.

Madison.-The green of the upper
campus was fairyland when the Uni
versity of Wisconsin women held their
annual May fete. A class march, led
by the seniors in cap and gown, be-
gan the festivities. Celebrating the
triumph of spring the next group of
dances suggested the gradual change
from the dull browns and soft greens
of early spring to the bright hues of
the long, warm days. The closing
maypole dance, belonging by tradition
to the freshmen, was a joyful, weaving
mass of bright color. And the pole
about which the gay dancers reveled
was taken from the first tree cut down
when clearing the ground for Lathrop
hall. The presentation, given under
the direction of Miss Blanche M.
Trilling, director of the women's gym
nasium, was prepared for in regular
class pericAs No extra practice was
required of the participants. The cos
tunes, planned and made by the de-
partment of home economics, were fur
nished without cost to the girls.
The May fete celebration was first
held at the University of Wisconsin
in 1905 and has now become regu-
lar university function. Added inter-
est was given last year by developing
a connected theme in the groups of
dances.

SALOON RULING MADE
NoN-UsE OF BUILDING FOR s
YEARS BARS NEW LICENSE.
State Supreme Court Rules That
Where Baker Law Ratio Is Ex-
ceeded Surrender Is Final.

K1adison-When property used
for saloon purposes is abandoned for
three years, an attempt is made>s to
again use it as saloon and there is
already an excess of the number of
saloons in that locality allowed by the
Baker law, no license may legally be
issued, even if on the date when the
ises we're devoted to saloon purposes,
according to a decision of the Wis
consin supreme court.
The case arose in the town of Wa
beno, Forest county. The town board
granted William Koch a license for
the year beginning July I, 1913, and
the validity of that license was at
tackled. At the trial it was shown
that the premises occupied by Koch
were used for saloon purposes on
June 80, 1907, when the Baker law,
limiting the number of saloons in any
inhabitants or fraction thereof, but
permitting existing saloon locations
to be relicensed as long as used for
saloon purposes, went into effect. The
Koch premises were not used for sa-
loon purposes from July l, 1907, until
Jan. "a, 1911, when the town board
again granted a license for a saloon
there. When the Baker law went in
to effect there were ten saloons in the
town of Wabeno, but when Koch was
arrested there were eleven saloons
there. The population of the town is
1,S77.
The court holds that the nonuse of
the building for saloon purposes for
three years is a virtual abandonment
of the building for the purpose and
hence the village board could not law
fully relicense it.
