Another r. r. Graft
(From the Cooperative Herald. Fargo)


The farmers out in the country south of Beach and
Sentinel Butte in Golden Valley county, N. d. seem
to be tumbng over themselves to furnish the money
with which to build electric railroad and when it is
built, give bunch of fellows the privilege Of slinnng
them on freight and passenger rates to queens TASTE
If recent dispatch dated from Beach is to be relied
on According to this report the farmers within GER
tain distance of the line to 81 OO an acre. those
little farther away to pay 75c an scre and those
still farther away put up SOC an acre. Now isn't
that the limit.
= = *If Mr. Golden Valley Farmers. you are going
to furnish the bulk Of the money to build the
road, why don't you build yourselves on truly CO.
operative plan9 =
T. The fellows who promoting the project
will certainly not put dollar Of their own money into
it, for they will bond their company for what you farm
ers do not put up and very likely sell stock in the COM
pany for several times what it to build the road
and then expect you pay the bonds. besides oper
atng expenses You fellows out there away off from
the railroad are just about ripe to fall for such graft
Take our advise gentlemen and pay dividends to your
selves on capitalization representing the actual cost of
your enterprise There ought to be some fellows at
Beach, too who would be willing, for the sake of home
pride if nothing else help put the road
upon truly cooperative plan and honest bust
ness basis. (.

By Elder c. r. Viking

church; | ask, Are you saved? Are you
absolutely sure that you are saved? Are
you satisfied in your heart that all is well
with you?
If not, plead with you to attend to that
thing Immediately. The outcome is in your
own hands God cannot save you by force.
If you continue in your old, selfish, sinful,
worldly way, and allow day after day to
pass by without seriously considering this
question, then you are your own worst en-
envy.
Are you ready to meet the coming Christ
today tonight, tomorrow Remember the
time of this is near That we live in the
last times of this age, Immediately before
the coming back again of the Christ, is abb
solutely clear. The signs Of the time give
solid proof thereof
God demands of you that you without de-
lay repent and confess and turn away from
sin and give your whole heart to Him Who
is able to save.
'And the times of this ignorance God
winked at, but now commandeth all men
everywhere to repent" Acts 80
The Way of Salvation is very plain and
clear. There is nothing clearer Much
praying and weeping and waiting does not
help matters. You do not need to imagine
that you are saved. You need not
work up an overhowing feeling of ecstacy
sol - e
does not come that way
You have been misled in the past. Others
have told you: believe, believe only believe
and you will be saved" But such teaching
is wrong. If you believed yourself black
in the face, you could not thereby be saved.
can hear you say: "But what about the
Philippian jailor to whom the apostle Paul
said: believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved was not the mes
sage to him, Believe, believe only believe::"
Yes it was, but the jailor had cried out !:
"Sirs, what must l do to be saved?" He
had already been convicted of sin. | am
fully persuaded that the Holy Spirit of
God had showed the jailor his own wicked
heart and terrible condition; he was in
agony and despair over his sins, and his
loud cry from the heart in the dark night
was from the heart of penitent sinner,
from a man who wanted freedom from the
devil and pardon for his terrible sins. 1t
was not necessary to tell him to repent.
That would have been mockery in his case.
AS sinking man in the sea he cried out
louder and louder: Save me, save me, | am
sinking, I am sinking into hell, save me !:
'Sirs, what must [ do to be saved?'
And his cry was answered: Believe on
the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be
saved
The lifeline of faith through Christ was
thrown out to him by Paul, whose heart
was full of joy and desire to rescue him
and the jailor grasped it.
1t was absolutely important that the man
should have the right message at the right
moment. It would have been Of no use to
have given him that message earlier in the
evening. 1t would have meant nothing to

camels and they had good supply of pro-
visions and water. The most important
thing was water An oversupply, calculated
to last through till a certain river was
reached, had been taken along After a
few days in the desert a headstorm arose
and beat down upon the weary travellers
The sand swept up into the air and blew
like snow The storm increased in fury
ed in their path. They began to suffer ter
ribly from the fine sand which filled into
their noses and eyes and threats almost to
suffocation. The heavens were darkened by
the sand so that twilight reigned ii. the
middle of the day. The progress was
therefore extremely slow, far slower than
had been anticipated. A larger quantity of
water owing to increasing thirst and the
drying UP of everything by the sand, was
required. In few days more nothing
would be left. The camels began to show
fatigue One after another sank down
never to rise again. The men also dried up
and could hardly force down food. Their
tongues swelled, their blood thickened-
water, water, water! was their cry One
Finally there was only one man left
the discoverer. He was dying. All he
could do was to creep on hands and knees.
But he had reached dried up river. There
was hope in that river bed, somewhere,
there would be water
What did he care that last day, for gold,
for fame for the world He cared for
water, and as long as there was any life
left in his body, it cried out, water!
And he found it! A clear little pool smil-
ed towards him in that river bed and he
threw himself down to it and drank, drank,
drank life-giving water, until life began to
flow in his veins again, and he had strength
to rise and rejoice!
But there is still more wonderful water
of which Jesus speaks in the 4th chapter
of the Gospel of John, which He calls the
LHmg Water. Not the water that flowed
out from the dried up riverbed, nor the
water from father Jacobs well, but the
Water 5v]lich floaos out from God.
Repentance does not bring it, but re-
pentance brings you to the well. Faith does
not create that Water, but faith receives
it from Him who gives it freely to all
who hunbly ask.
"But whosoever drinketh of the water
that | shall give him shall never thirst;
but the water that shall give him shall be
in him we'll of water springing up into
everlasting life John Ala.
@ how wonderful that is! You yourself
will become we'll of water! From your
self will flow living water You will be
a well in the desert from which God the
Living Water will flow out to mankind
Life is worth living in that way! Come, Q
come to day!
God is calling yet, oh, hear Him,
God is calling yet, oh, hear Him,
God is calling yet, oh, hear Him,
Calling, calling:
Come, oh come to Me. -. Come, oh
come to Me-. $500.

against God, but you have sinned also a
gainst your fellowmen. Go to the one you
have wronged and confess your sin. Go
to your wife or husband as the case may
be and confess your sin. If you have sto-
len, confess to the person from whom you
have stolen. If you have killed, give your
self up to the police and confess 1t is
Better to go to prison than to go to hell.
1t is not enough to tell 1T to God. If you
have no one else to open your heart to,
speak to some one in ZION and seek advice
and prayer.
1t is better to confess your secret sins
to your nearest than to carry them If
you are preacher, it makes no difference,
confess. If you are in the employ of the
State, it makes no difference, confess. If
you are in prison, it makes no difference,
confess 1t is dangerous to delay confes-
sion. Confess to the person you have
wronged, and if you cannot find that per-
son, then confess to your nearest or to
some one in ZION.
0 my friend, you who are bound with
terrible chains of sin and lust, and pressed
down into the dust, you who are unclean
and have soiled yourself in lustful mire,
come and confess.
" If we confess our sins, God is faith
full and just to forgive us Our sins, and to
cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
John | g.
Begin at once to destroy your idols, no
matter if others look upon you as insane
If you have tobacco, destroy it; swine, des-
troy them medicine and alcohol, destroy
them. Say farewell to comrades of sin
and come. Fall on your knees in your
corner, and confess to God, Who will be a
Father to you, Who will receive you with
open arms, and pour into your dry,shrunk-
en-, heavy laden heart life and power through
His Holy Spirit.
God our Heavenly Father sent His Son
into this world to save sinners, to heal the
sick, and to cast out demons.
"For God so loved the world, that He
gave His Only Begotten Son, that whose
ever believeth in Him, should not perish
but have everlasting life" John 3:16.
When you have truly repented and con-
fessed then you can believe with your
whole heart, and put your whole weight on
God, and trust in His Word. I say to
you, whoever you may be, come to ZION
and be saved God uses human agencies in
saving human beings. God used Paul in
saving the Philippian jailor. know of
TO place on earth where the way of saliva
ton is made so clear and plain and true
as in ZION. [ know of no place where
the ministers, yea, even the people, can be
of such help in saving sinners as in Zion.
| know of no place like ZION! This is no
boast, it is a fact, which it is valuable for
YOU to know. In ZION you will have an
honest deal.
O what warmth and power and joy
there is in ZION! Everything is real in
ZION. There are no shams. God is a
real, personal, loving Father; Jesus Christ
is not dead man on a cruciflx, but real,
personal, wonderful Saviour and Healer
The Holy Spirit is a real, personal, ever
present Comforter and Guide. The King

then: "Only believe it would have been
right to have said to him: Repent. Now
in the black night he needed faith.
Your past religious life, maybe, has been
made up of experiences of feelings, and SO
today you have no power over sin; you
lack desire to read the Bible; you find no
feast in the Word of God; you prefer every
time to read other books you have no hun
ger to commune with God in prayer; you
have no JOY in your heart you feel like a
coward you find that to be so-called
Christian is not what you expected; you
are Just as lazy and worldly and unwilling
to obey and serve God, if not worse, than
you were before; you get revived period
ically but it does not last, the feeling passes
away. You are good in spots. You try to
look like Christian, but in your heart you
have hell

you Many have told you that ZION

find that it is not so. ZION breaches the
Full Gospel of Salvation for spirit, soul
and body.
John the Baptist said:
20 generation of vipers who hath warned
you to flee from the wrath to come?
Bring forth therefore fruits worthy of
repentance, and begin not to say within
yourselves, we have Abraham to Our father.
for I say unto you, That God is able of
these stones to raise up children unto Abra-
ham," Luke 81, 8.
John did not say, Most Excellent Phari-
sees and Sadducees, the Very Reverend the
High Priest of God, His Royal Highness
King Herod, Dearly Beloved Worshipful
Brothers-no: he said: 20 generation of
vipers" That was strong language in
deed. 1t would have been impossible for
John the Baptist to have occupied Bap-
fist pulpit in Chicago two Lords Days in
succession.
He was indignant with them He called
them by their right titles. It did not mat
ter what pedigree they had He spared
none, not even the rich and learned, not
even the king.
1t made no difference that Abraham was
their father. He simply ignored that. 1t
meant nothing to him that they were mem
bers of the highest order of worship in
jerusalem That thing did not save their
skins. And it makes no difference today
what church or assembly or society you
belong to, you must repent.
John did not say, believe, believe, only
believe; he said, repent, repent; but not
only repent, he said, show that you repent,
show it in your acts, bring forth fruits
meet for repentance, bring forth the stolen
goods.
Jesus said:
Repent ye and believe the Gospel. =
Mark is.
There were present at that season some
that told him of the Galilaeans, whose
blood Plate had mingled with their sacri-
fees.
''And Jesus answering said unto them,
Suppose We that these Galilaeans were sim
ners above all the Galilaeans, because they
suffered such things?
81 tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent
We shall all likewise perish" Luke 1913.

well"
''Yis, sor," muttered Flaherty, as
he made his way from the others
presence.
The thought of Donna's doom
weighed down his heart. He stood
before her cage that night after the
zoo had been closed and watched her
eating her supper. Donna put her
head against the bars and Flaherty
scratched it. Donna liked Flaherty to
be near her. In his cage adjoining
Jocko scolded and chartered. But
FlaheTty had no heart to pay him
any attention. On the ensuing Sun
day morning Donna was to give up
her life for the worthless Jocko.
That evening Flaherty paid visit
to the zoo doctor, an elderly German,
who attended all the animals.
Cant you save Donna's Iife?" he
asked.
The elderly German was an iras-
chile man, but he was as sentimental
as most Germans are, and he was
Ioucned by FlahertyS SO1c1tude.
There may be a chance" he an
swered. But I doubt it. It's those
fine, strong apes that generally go
off at the least thing. Now if it had
been the other way round, he'd live
through it and flourish. Why, he's
been living for years now with blood
that would kill you or me-"
Doctor" said Flaherty, els it true
that apes have the same blood as
men haVe?"
"Quite true" answered the doctor.
''The difference is, in fact, impercep-
tibly small"
"Then phwhy wouldn't a mans
blood do instead of Donna's?" asked
FlaheTty.
The old doctor looked at him
gravely. "It would" he answered.

lowed himself to be persuaded.
"You must be very fond of Jocko,"
he said.
"No!" cried Flaherty. But I'm not
going to let a lady like Donna be
killed for the sake Of a wretched,
measly, spindly craythUr like Jocko.'"
The operation had been performed
successfully. One Of the zoo employees
had given away the story, and it had
appeared in all the newspapers. Fla
herty and Jocko were depicted side
by side, in the cage and on the oper-
ating table. And Flaherty, pale and
weak, and nursing bandaged arm,
nursed his wrath also as a constant
stream of reporters and visitors who
had read of the affair came to see
him as he hmped about his work.
In Jocko's cage a new Jocko, much
more alert, much fatter, and much
angrier, sat, and he shook the bars
and chartered and swore in simian
language as Flaherty passed.
'He doesn't seem very fond of you,
in spite of what you did for him."
suggested lady visitor.
Look, mamma" exclaimed little
girl. "That is the monkey man who
loves Jocko. Does Jocko love the
monkey man as much as the monkey
man loves Jocko, mamma?"'
cit doesn't look like it." sneered
a fat man, as Jocko thrust his arm
through the bars and shook his fist
at his keeper.
Flaherty turned away, sick at
heart. He could have borne the
sneers and taunts and misunder-
standing, if-if Donna had known.
But she would never know that he
had saved her from death. When he
went back the house was nearly
empty. He passed Donna, who put
her head against the bars, and Fla
