Rev. Neil's address at the morning
service follows:
Text, Psalm 126, 8: THE Lord hath
done great things for us whereof we
ara glad"
I'VE never look twice on the same
river, is an old proverb. The stretch
OF water at which we gaze has passed
ere VIC look again. So, is it with the
stream of the world life; it is never
the same. New floods pour through
the channels. Though the current may
appear to be very much the same, 1t
has received its newness and strange
stream goes by with a perpetual
mingling OF the waters behind and be-
fore that prevents ANY definite ident-
ification of its own self. 1t is new
world on which we look today. We
never saw the world as II now Is; we
never shall see just such world
again.
THE world OF humanity offers us
many types of study. It is a sugges-
ton often made that there are no two
faces in the world that are precisely
alike No two persons think just
alike. As it is with individual men,
so 1t is with larger human movements.
We wake up every morning to new
day in the worlds history. Every
morning God gives us a chance to
know more, the book Of life opens to
another page, and II. is our privilege
to srell out some new lesson. The an

why Is Our Nation Great?

Ask the statesman what makes us
mighty nation, and he will say it is
because such men as Washington and
Webster and Clay, and men of their
strength and courage built themselves
into the very fabric of our land, and
dared to stand by the convictions that
prompted them to action.
Scholars will say that culture has
peen the great source of strength to
help bring us to our present field OF
usefulness. and true it Is that this
principle of free education, suppla-
mented by the college and the uni
versity have been great factors in
bringing about our present achieve
ments.

the rast year we have been most
wonderfully blessed, in that while
war has hung as a dark cloud over
such vast portion of the world, we
have been permitted to enjoy peace.
And while our nearest neighbors have
been in state of turmoil, it has been
orr good fortune to have a president
who has guided the ship of state
with such care and fortitude, that we
have great reasons to thank God.
How significant that our secretary Of

our History Began at church.


1T may be profitable on this
Thanksgiving day to draw a parallel
between the Israelitish nation and our
own-between the Jews and Puritans.
Both revolted against what they DEEM
ed slavery; both sought a strange
land; both supplanted native people;
both lahored under the profound sense
of God; both were the means of
matchless blessings to the world. mas
much as both nations came to their
separateness by way Of spiritual
conviction, it was natural that the de-
vout among both people should relate
the beginnings of the land to the good
ness of God and the continuance of
the land to His purpose. The text
we have chosen carries both mean,
ings. The acknowledgement Of the
goodness Of the Lord in giving us
such heritage, and the continual
through the years of our history, in
the language Of the Psalmist should
bring forth declaration of earnest
praise. Take out of our land what has
come into 1t because of the God-fear.
ing spirit of our people, and you
mutilate splendid world. National
life is deeper than territory, and
broader than constitution.
"A land is not made UP of merely
its valleys and mountains and prair-
les, and rivers and lakes and CULTS;
nor is 1t merely bundle Of laws and
codes. Territory and constitution get
their national meaning only in souls.
Leave out God, and you have no May
flower to launch. The breezes that
pushed that ship over the sea came
from God; and the impulse that was
from God. Our history took its first
steps at the door of the church. The
Declaration Of Independence puts
the name OF God into its preamble;
and in closing declares "a firm reliance
on the protection of divine provi-
dence.' AS the Jewish people had
festal days in which they acknowledge
ed the goodness, and mercies of AL
mighty God: SO also did our forefath-
ers institute a day of public thanks
giving.
Lincoln Gives Proclamation.
President Lincoln gave out the
first presidential proclamation for
national observance of the last Thurs
day in November as day of thanks
giving. This proclamation was dated
October 20, 1864, and from that time
to the present the annual return OF
such proclamation, by our chief Of
ficer is expected with anticipation.
AS we remember the New England
colonists in 1921. answered to the
call of Governor bradford, after the
first harvest was gathered. and pro-
vided for day of praise; it should
give us courage.
Their loved ones had been stricken
with disease; their number had been
decreased by death: their safety had
been threatened by the Indians; and
the year had in many ways been one
of struggle. Yet they thanked God
and took courage. And in the Ian
guage of our text they acknowledged
the great things God had done for
them. May we not today in like man.

But back of this should we not re-
member that back of our national life
lies the sacredness of our homes, and
that no nation is stronger than its in
d1vidual citizenship Any attempt to
destroy the morality and gladness of
our hearthstones, Is a stab at the
heart OF our nation, and should be so
considered by every citizen Well it
Is That once year we can be remind
ed OF the days gone by, and no wonder
that the children and grandchild ZEN
love to return to the old fireside, and
listen to the measured tick-tock of the
old wooden clock on the mantel, the
clock that pointed to half past one the
night that little Willie died twenty
years ago. To lean on the old we'll
curb; recount those early school days,
and live again many happy days of
youth, while waiting for the turkey to
brown, and the festal board to be pre-
pared. Oh, the soften1ng blushing
memories that flood our souls on
such days as these. The years fol-
low each other in such hot pursuit that
we scarcely learn that we are young
till middle age has overtaken us, and
then we too are growing old, and are
reminded of the fact that we must do
our part to make the world better to-
day. All the realities of life are the
thoughts of God. Youth and age are
both alike to Film. Our bounties are
the crumbs from His eternal feast:
and our griafs are the heavenly bitters
which wean US from serious idolatory.

Should Raise FORAGE Crops

In formulating plans for diversity.
ing the farming of the state, and for
the work of the staff of extension
workers in the various Montana oun
ties, the forage problem is given great
prominence. Forage means stock.
The farmer with lots of feed can us
ually borrow money to buy stock. If
he is careful and understands stock
he a make money and stay safe.
Stock is necessary in a permanent ag-
r%icultural system for Montana.
The two most promising forage
crops are corn and alfalfa. Corn is
reasonably ure over most of Mon
tana at attitudes below 1000 feet. The
small flint varieties and the Gehu and
Triumph r safest. with Minnesota
%, Northwestern and Golden dent
good for the warmer valleys. Alfalfa
under irrigation is a good proposition,
but on unirrigated lands alfalfa in
rows and cultivated is growing in
favor. The best growth on dry land
comes from sowing one to four pounds
per acre.
Sweet clover is a promising forage
plant for dry lands. 1t has proved
very desirable for gumbo spots and
stands alkali better than most plants.

Trees on Dry Land Farms

The e%asterner misses the trees as
much as any n thing when he set
ties upon the benches of Montana.
Nothing indicates the faithful pur.
pose to establish a permanent home
more than tree planting and caring
for them.
Varieties should be selected with
reference to local conditions. Ma
tive trees and shrubs are best. Pop.
lars are very well suited to Montana
conditions. The Canadian poplar is
the favorite. The golden willow is
good in windbreak. Box elders are
the most hardy trees, but not of sy-
metrical shape. The green ash is a
beautiful native three, growing slowly
and very hardy. The cut leaved
white birch succeeds we'll in most
localities. Among hardy shrubs are
the lilac, Russian olive, mountain ash
spira and rosa rugosa.
There is no use planting in holes
on the proirie. Trees and shrubs so
planted will die. Land should be pre-
pared as carefully as for alfalfa or
potatoes of the best crop. A years
tillage before planting will save time.
Cultivate all the ground for a year
before planting and several years at.
ter. When you stop c%ultivating mulch
the ground between the trees with a
few inches of straw.-F. S. Cooley,
superintendent of Farm Institutes.

Asiatics Barred from Canada

Vancouver, B. c., April 3O.-Under
a new Interpretation of an order-in-
council, promulgated six months ago,
Asiatic laborers of all kinds are for
hidden to enter Canada. The new rul-
ing is supposed to have been brought
about by the sailing of a ship load of
Hindus from Hhanghai for Vancouver
recently. The order in council prohib-
tied the entry of laborers, skilled and
unskilled into British Columbia. There
has been uncertainty as to how the
order would affect Chinese, who are
prepared to pay the head tax of $500
and Hindus who comply with the i'm
migration law by coming directly from
India and possessing $3.50. The law
will be enforced against all Asiatics
except tourists, students and mer.
chants.
