In j. 1928 we read, "And he
said unto them, Ye are from beneath;
I am from above; ye are of this world;
I am not of this world"
In j. s:42, we read, eff God

He proceeds in VS.. 56-58, "Your
father Abraham rejoiced to see my
day; and he saw it and was glad. The
Jews therefore said unto him, Thou
art not yet so years old, and has thou
seen Abraham?
Jesus said unto them, Verify, verify,
I say unto you, Before Abraham was
born, I am"
Think Of his claiming to have come
from above while all others are of
earthly origin, and that he came forth
from God, and that he is the Great I
Am, who appeared unto Moses at the
burning bush.
It is little wonder that the Jews who
thought him to be only a man should
have taken up stones to hurl at him
as a wicked blasphemer and pretend

Scholars universally acknowledge
that 1900 years ago Jesus Christ lived
In Palestine. This is as fully attest
ed by reliable history as is the fact
that about fifty years ago Abraham
Lincoln was a notable parsonage in
America.
And no one who is at all acquainted
with the development or growth Of the
worlds thinking about God and about
human duty can fail to see that the
teachings of Jesus Christ have largely
prevailed.
The. rational ideas of a good and
Fatherly God and of right human re-
lations Of brotherliness which men to-
day accept as ideally excellent, are ex-
actly what Jesus Christ proclaimed
1900 years ago; and it was His pro-
clamation of them which has made
them the common ideas Of today, how
ever far short men may come of re-
alizing these ideals in their own lives
and practices.
Jesus said, "One is your Master, and
all ye are brethren"
All these ages Of the increasing in
huence of, Christ over human life unite
with Pilot in his judgment of Jesus
who was and who is on trial and with
one voice they confess, "I find no fault
In Him."
This cannot be said of the character
conduct or teachings of any merely
human being who has ever lived.
The twelve apostles who lived with
Jesus and heard his teachings fol
three years certainly had an opportu,
nifty to discover any defects if there
had been any; but the conviction grew
upon them and expressed itself in the
: great confession, "Thou are the Christ
the Son of the Living God"
Let US open the Bible and see just
what Jesus really taught concerning
himself.
In J 8:12, we read, "Agair
therefore Jesus spake unto them, an
the Light Of the World; he that fol
loweth me shall not walk in the dark

on the lips of any one except the di-
vine Son of God?

on the lips OF any one except the dl-
vine Son Of God?
How can an intelligent person call
Jesus the greatest teacher and the
most perfect character and yet deny
his essential deity?
If he were merely a man and yet
made such stupendous claims for him
self, where was his reliability and wis
dom as a teacher and what becomes of
his character of sincerity and truth?
Beyond question he claimed for him
self what no sane and good man could
ever claim; and If these high claims
were untrue, he knew it or he was very
unwise and an unreliable teacher.
If he made such high claims for him
self knowing they were untrue, he was
a deceiver and not good.
If we admit that he was good and
wise, there is no other reasonable and
consistent course left us but to admit
that he was divine and the Son of God
from heaven just as he claimed
The whole New Testament as we'll
as the words of Jesus himself is very
orthodox in the teaching of the essen
tial deity of Jesus Christ.
If one were to give all the texts
which teach this truth, he would have
to quote practically the whole new tes-
lament, for this is the permeating es-
sence of the whole collection of writ
ings.
After his resurrection Jesus said to
his apostles, "All authority hath been
given unto me in heaven and on earth.
Go ye, therefore, and make disciples
Of all the nations baptizing them into
the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them
to observe all things whatsoever I com
mand you; and 10, am with you al
way, even unto the end of the world"
All authority in heaven and on
earth given unto mere man! what
insanity!
Baptize all nations into the name
which unites the God of theuniverse
and his everpresent spirit, with that
of mere man! Perish the idea!
This and much more is the testi.
mony Of Jesus himself as to his char.
acter and personality; but the apostles
did the utmost which their language
could express to emphasize the same
truths.
The apostle Paul speaking to the
elders of the church in Ephesis said
"Take heed unto yourselves and to al
the flock, in which the Holy Spirit
has made you overseers, to feed the
church of God which he purchased
Devils Lake world., 1914-12-10
with his own blood" (Acts 2o-2s.)

with his own blood" (Acts 20-28.)
John says, "And we know that the
Son of God is come, and hath given
US an understanding, that We know
him that is true, and we are in him
that is true, even in his Son Jesus
Christ. Il j. 5:20) This is the true
God and eternal life"
How could Paul say this truth more
strongly than he has said it in Col.
1:12-23?
On Pentecost the apostles proclaim
ed his exaltation as no mere man
could be exalted, saying: "This Jesus
did God raise up, whereof We all are
witnesses. Being therefore by the
right hand of God exalted, and hav-
ing received of the Father the promise
of the Holy Spirit, he hath poured
forth this which we see and hear"
And when these apostles were forbid
den to preach and heal in the name of
Christ, they answered. "The God of
our fathers raised up Jesus whom ye
slew, hanging him on tree. Him did
God exalt with his right hand to be a
prince and a savior, to give repentance
to Israel and forgiveness Of SINS" GA.
5:31.)
They preached forgiveness of sins
through him; they baptized in the
name of the Father, and of the Christ
and of the Holy Spirit"
That such are some Of the many
claims of Jesus himself and that such
is the refrain of the apostles through
out the whole New Testament no in
telligent and we'll informed man will
question.
But the worst man and the most un-
christian man in the world might ad-
init all this; and yet he might be
wholly unprofited by his admission.
What must one do to derive the
benefits which are offered in this COS.
pei message?
! He must in addition to admitting il
accept Christ as his personal savior
and his Lord to whom he surrenders
himself in obedience and trust.
"If thou shalt confess with thy
mouth Jesus as Lord, and shalt believe
in thine heart that God hath raisec
him from the dead, thou shalt be saw
ed" (Rom. 1922
And the other alternative is thus
stated in John 1886, "He that believ
eth on the Son hath eternal life; bu
he that obeyeth not the Son shall mo-
see life, but the wrath of God abidetl
on him."
eff ye know these things, happy ar.
We if We do them"
A man might admit that the soil il
good, he might admit that the rail-
helps to produce a crop, he might ad
NIT that the seed is excellent, and We
if he does not act upon his knowledg
his knowledge will not only be of n,
benefit but it will make him altogethe
inexcusable.
Therefore the apostle asks, "Hov
shall we escape if we neglect so grea
Devils Lake world., 1914-12-10
salvation ?" (Heb. 2:3.)

Jesus who we admit was wise and
truthful says Everyone therefore who
shall confess me before men, him will
l also confess before my Father who
is in heaven. But whosoever shall
deny me before men, him will I also
deny before my Father who is in
heaven. (Matt. 1898.
Everything depends upon what you
are going to do about it. To neglect
to do anything, is to let the ifeboat
sent for your salvation be sent in vain.
If you are reasonable person, you
will lay hold on eternal life offered in
mercy.

STORE IS GREAT
ESTABLISHMENT

Gilbertson's annual opening took
place Tuesday Of this week and hun
dreds Of people thronged the store all
day to inspect the mammoth stock of
furniture, house furnishing goods and
undertaking department. One of the
leading features of the whole establish
ment is the casket room, and truly it
is wonder. We do not believe that
it has an equal in the whole north
west. This room has been equipped
at an expense Of several thousand dol
lars, and people who visited it during
the day were astonished at it's magni-
tude. There was an orchestra dispens-
! ing music, and the horde of clerks
were busy waiting on the many Gus
toners and showing them about the
various departments Of the building.
Many out of town people who visited
this establishment for the first time
were astonished at the mammoth stock
and variety Of goods. Mr.. and Mrs.
Gilbertson did their best to make it
pleasant for the large crowd as did al
so the clerks, and none were too busy
to greet the visitors, and express their
pleasure in seeing them present. Each
lady was presented with a beautiful
silver bon bon dish filled with delicious
bon bons. The gentlemen were treat
ed to Robert Burns cigars.
To give one an adequate idea of the
size and completeness of this great
wholesale and retail establishment,
it is necessary to visit the store. TO
say the least it is a great establish
ment and credit to city many times
the size of Devils Lake.

Thinks He Knows
Why Cost Is High
A Farmer Reader Wants to Wipe Out
All the Tobacco Factories and
the Breweries.
To the Editor:

L IL ~ -..EGH.
Nearly every magazine one picks
up nowadays has an article bearing
more or less on the subject of the
high cost of living. Every writer has
his own idea as to the III But
none has so far touched the main
reason.
Go anywhere in town or city, farm
or factory and you cannot help seeing
the large number of youths, as well
as older men, who smoke, chew and
drink. Everyone must see that one
cause lies there. Take any n hun
dred of the unemployed, and ninety
of them will be smokers, chewers or
drinkers and most of them are all
three. Have them examined and you
will find they are physically unable
to work as men of a generation ago
did. Tobacco has deadened their
minds, and, with drink, has destroyed
their stomachs, until they are without
ambition to do more than satisfy that

they can find to do.
There would be less drinking and
| smoking If the government condemn
ed the tobacco factories and the brew
cries and distilleries. There would
be less swarming to the cities of there
were nc saloons to go to and no
doped tobacco or cigarettes to buy.
Every month sees new favored tobac-
co advertised to attract the user OF
it, which may entice him to strong
drink, Turing him on to his W des-
truction.
If tobacco and drink were out OF he
way it would not be SO hard for the
farmer to get help who could earn
their wage even though high and
make a profit on the money invested
does not pay a farmer now to put in
a larger crop than his own family
can take care of at a pinch.
We all know that quantity has a
good deal to do with the cost; If more
were raised there would be more to
sell, making the cost less. More land
is left untitled every year because
it cannot be cultivated on a paying
basis.
So long as the average farmer raises
