"For God so loved the world that He
gave His only begotten Son, that who
soever believed in him might not per
ish, but have everlasting life"
Mr.. Gunten told in a striking way of
Gods gift, and sought to show how
many fail to believe and accept the
terms of the gospel because they dc
not comprehend who God is. This,
he said, was his trouble when boy
The purport of his sermon was to cleal
the way for those who heard to SCI
God as the divine loving Father.
The sermon at night was on the tex
I'd Corinthians 9:15, which reads
Thanks be unto God for His unspeak
able gift" The preacher strongly i'm
pressed the goodness of Christ. God'
greatest gift to man.

In the remarks from this writer in

his intention to convey the idea that !
he does not believe in agitation. The
fact is he does believe in it, and knows
as well as anybody that the agitation
of any subject Is necessary to the en-
lightment of those whose means and
activities must be employed before
success is possible. What he wishes
to have understood, is that agitation
alone is worthless, absolutely worth
less. 1t is notoriously true that we
have had just lots of diversified" agi-
tation and but very little else.
Let me emphasize the statement that
what is usually said about the favor
able conditions for successful farming
and stock growing in South Mississip-
ri is true. | have never heard state
ment that regarded as OVERRIDING the
facts. The truth is, all have ever
heard falls short of what can prove
to be true. So thoroughly am l con-
vinced of this that | affirm that there
is not an acre of tillable land in ten
miles of Hattiesburg that is not worth

stumps have been removed or whether

At Cannon Falls the two newspa-
pers have consolidated, the Beacon
being absorbed by the Ledger. Edi-
tor Apologize is one of the forceful
members of the Minnesota editorial
profession. If the extinguishing Of
the Beacon means his retirement, it
is to be regretted. This is, however,
a commercial age and it is not to be
wondered at that the leaves of the
ledger continue to be turned over,
while the rays of the beacon are no
more. j rdan Independent.
The Beacon was an ably-edited
newspaper, and Mr.. Apologize is a
forceful writer although somewhat
cratic and an extremist. But Can
non Falls could not support two
newspapers. More than one newspa-
per in small town is an unneces-
sary tax on the business men of the
place and on the people of the coun-
try adjacent thereto. One decently-
conducted, prosperous newspaper is
of benefit to any community. Two
or more newspapers struggling for an
existence are a positive detriment to
any tOwn-of no benefit to their pub
fishers or anybody else.

good roads day-the third Tuesday

nesota has more advanced road legis-

any of it's sister states. And yet we
have in almost every county of this

That is not the kind of a campaign
he is waging. The support he is re-
ceiving is voluntary. His friends
know that he is eminently qualified
to fill the position of state auditor
owing to his long service as county
auditor and his large experience of
state affairs acquired in his four

is an expert accountant and an au-
