the equity OF an 5 per cent return on

Closing Address
of Mems Assn.
Miss Sanford of Minneapolis Gives Fine
Talk on ''The Beauty of the BibIe.''

Miss Maria Sanford, for many
years professor of English in
the University of Minnesota,
gave splendid address at the
New Grand, Sunday evening, un.
der the auspices of the Mems
Christian and Civic Association.
Miss Sanford is a grand old
woman whose life been one of
noble service, and thousands of
students and individuals all over
this country who have been
helped by her, bear witness of
the wonderful influence and in.
spiration her kindly words,
deeds and acts have had upon
their lives. The Mems Associ-
alton feels proud of being able to
secure for the citizens of this
city the opportunity of listening
to the inspiring words of this
noble woman whose beautiful
face and voice are the index of
her character.
Miss Bonnie Andrews intro
duced Miss Sanford to the audi
ence and in a few We'll chosen
words paid a glowing tribute to
her former instructor.
Before beginning her address
on the subject "The Beauty of
the Bible" Miss Sanford con-
graduated the people and the
Mems Association on the work
they have undertaken during the
past winter for bettering social
and moral conditions in this
community. We must use our
brains and our energies, said
she, not only for our own per-
sonal advancement, but for civic
righteousness. The opportuni
ties presented by the Associa-
tion must be a great inspiration
to young people. The work un-
dertalen is the service of God
and in his service there is great
reward.
Turning her attention to the
subject of her address, Miss
Sanford said that we have grad
ually dropped the old reverence
for the printed pages and the
mere outer surface of the Book
of books, and at the same time
We have lost to some extent the
habit of reading the Bible and
cherishing it's words. She spoke
OF her early home training and
said she priced highly the devel-
opment of taste which the study
OF the Bible in her youth had
brought to her. Great writer's
OF the last century show the in
fuence of the bible on their high
thoughts and beautiful imagery.
We ought to take a part of each
day, not the time when we are
tired with the days toll, but the
best part of the day, to study
and read the bible and make our.
selves familiar with the thoughts
and glorious lessons of that book.
Read the authorized version, not
the new version. The men who
made this version during the
reign of King James have
brought out the poetic beauty of
the scriptures in their transla-
ten which the modern revisers
in their, attempts to make things
clear have taken out.
in reading and studying the
great characters of the bible we
must not lose sight of the fact
that they were subject to the
same human emotions and tenn.
tations that we are, and it is only
when we look at them in this way
that we are able to grasp the
true beauty in it. The first great
character mentioned by the

speaker was Moses, that won
derful man who was brought up
in the court of Seti I, a great
ruler in the highest monarchy of
the world at that time. Although
he was reared as one of the no.
bles, and had great influence in
the court, he did not forget the
religious teachings of his mother
nor lose sympathy for his own
people, the enslaved and op-
pressed children of Israel. FL
nally he Was chosen by God and
trained to become the leader of
the people who were destined to
play a great part in the worlds
progress, and the study of the
life of this great hero must nee.
essaily be of great value to US.
Miss Sanford next showed the
wonderful beauty in the story of
Ruth. and in the story of the
child Samuel's conservation to
the service of the Lord. She
then read a part of the story of
David and explained the lesson
OF courage and trust in God. Be
fore reading the story of how
Elijah's sacrifice to the true God
was consumed by the fire from
heaven, the speaker talked of the
Interpretation of the scriptures.
She told of her own early per-
sonal struggle to reconcile the
teachings of science with the
teachings of the bible. Finally
light came to her and she real
lied that the bible was not meant
to teach science but to guide us
in spiritual matters and to teach
US courage and morality. The
ignorant man who testifies in
prayer meeting often has mes
sage to give, and the inspiration
it contains is just as great as it
would be without his grammati.
cal errors. He who made the
law governing the universe is,
master of it. Modern inventions
would have seemed miracles to
past generations, and as for mir
acles today, who car find greater
miracles than the coming of
the blossoms each spring? OF the
origin and growth of the human
soul? The doctrine of evolution
is the true doctrine, and if we
have ouf eyes open to see and
our ears to hear, we shall learn
that "the Lord, he is Cod"
After reading the story of
Elijah, Miss Sanford spoke of the
wonderful passages in the book
of Job, which show that even
though those who serve the
Lord seem to experience trouble
and disappointment, yet they
have His everlasting strength to
lean upon; of the wealth of inspi-
ration, comfort and cheer in the
Psalms; of the glorious imagery
and surprising beauty of Isaiah.
Surely no one can afford to lose
from his life the inspiration, the
comfort and the courage he can
gain by reading the bible, that
book of books.
The special music of the even
ing consisted of a soprano solo
by Mrs. Jesse Cottingham, and
a duet by Rev. and Mrs. Field,
both musical numbers being
heartily enjoyed by the audience.
Miss Sanford's address closes
the highly interesting series of
special meetings begun last De-
cember by the Mems Associa
tion and held at the New Grand.
While Miss Sanford has the hon.
or of being the only lady speaker,
her address was among the very

Doings Are On
Class Play One of the Best Ever-Bac-
calaureate Address Next Sunday

The Senior Class of the Sisse-
ton High School gave their play,
"A College Town." Tuesday eve
ming under the direction of Miss
Ch unberlain and Mr.. DeArmet.
The opera house was we'll filled
and the audience showed most
hearty appreciation of the even
ing's entertainment. All the act
ors were stars and performed
their parts with much credit to
themselves. James Honeysett,
the negro servant, brought down
the house several times by his
witty remarks and the way he
ate his pie, and had he been a
"sure-enough" darlly he couldn't
have have used the negro dialect
any better. Margaret Otto made
a charming and vivacious college
widow; Ezra Lewis was a wild
college cut up, and a fine old
maid; Lydia Marvick an excel.
lent and motherly landlady
whose trials with the students
won the sympathy of all. Helen
Wolff, although suffering from a
very bad cold, did her parts per
fectly and won much applause.
Nora Babb, as Mrs. Cleopatra
Popp, displayed great talent and
managed the poor hen-pecked
husband, Prof. Senacharrib
Popp, or james Hanson as he is
known in private life, with much
adroitness, the poor man show
ing his fear on many occasions
and taking his medicine with
great meekness. Paul Linster,
with his straight military figure,
made a handsome Major, Kilpep-
per; and Alma Hend rickson, the
sweet, pretty little southern girl,
completely captivated the hearts
of the audience as we'll as the
college boys. Selmer Rask, as
Jimmie Cavendish, around whom
the entire play was centered, was
typical college rah-rah boy and
performed his part with great
credit, although he was suffering
with throat trouble. Anna Thur
ston played two parts creditably
and Ralph Thurston made stall
wart football captain. Gordon
Babcock and Severt Aas helped
create a great deal of amuse-
ment by their ingenuity in help.
ing others out of scrapes.
Miss Hannah Rask furnished
music preceding the play and
between the acts. Several
snatches of college songs, sung
by the actors, assisted by 0. V.
Dunn and Dewey Hadson, added
greatly to the pay.
Following is a complete cast of
characters and a synopsis of the
play:
