Since to make disciples of the world
is the purpose of God, and the passion
of the Masters heart is that the word
n ay know the power Of the gospel to
save, such should be the purpose and
passion of the church. How shall we
awaken a conscious responsibility in
the the minds o. the church members
on the work of missions?
Recent history in Mexico has shown
one thing above all others That coun-
try's hope, and her only hope, is in the
education and evangelization of the
people. The door of opportunity will
swing wide open when peace is estaA-
lished, and our church should be pre-
pared to do something for the work
in Mexico. The discouragements are
great enough at all times, but become
doubly so when the worker sees that
lis efforts cannot count for what
they should
There is a group of churches in Rfri-
ca where one out of every ten members
is definitely set aside to carry the
gospel to others.

"human stuff as we now have on hands It tries
to set the crooked straight and to make dull eyes
to see But the aim of eugenics Is to produce bet
ter human stuff; not to improve what we al
ready have but TO secure materials out of which
men and women may grow
It finds the race stream like a river that has
become contaminated by sewage. All kinds OF
poisons have flowed into that stream and our in
sane asylums, homes for detectives, prisons and
graveyards are full Of the results. Just as SAM
tarians are learning how to purify the rivers that
flow by our towns, so eugenists hope to learn
how to purify the human stream.
Heredity was more or less matter of guess
work until in 1869 Gregor Mendel, Roman Cath
Ollie priest, discovered the method of heredity
which has come to be named after him the Men
delian law. By understanding this law, one is
able to know how the traits and characteristics
of the parents will be divided among the chill
dren. If black-eyed man marries a blue-eyed
woman the Mendelian can tell how many of the
children will have black eyes, how many blue eyes
and how many eyes of another color. And what
is true of the color of the eyes is true of all other
such physical characteristics.
Why does the eugenist bother himself about
the future? Simply because he feels his respon-
sibility to his children unborn as keenly as he
does to those about his knees. When he learns
how he can reach forward and bless or blight
babes of coming generations, he says to himself,
II am going to learn how to live in such way
that my posterty will be blessed by my life and
not cursed It is to teach how all may
| live in this way that eugenics has come into ex-
istence.

To make the high school newspaper

respect. more type has been ordered
and the additional sizes will brighten
the appearance. Primarily the print
ing department was organized TO teach
printing and TO do job work but since
1t has been decided to put out
was needed. The type which will be
used for heading the articles will cou-
sist of IA point, and the sub-hea1s
will be II, 10 and point The body
type will be S point. Only for adver-
tisements and special articles will 4
larger size be used. On account OF
special work which the printing de-
partment is required to get out. the
school paper will not be issued for
about two weeks. After the first is
sue IL will be published every three
weeks this term, but il will be the
aim next term to publish IL every

advantage of this size will be that
when the magazine edition is issued
all the numbers can be bound.

8. e. Nicholson, chairman of Citi-
zens' local option committee of One
Hundred, has received the following
letter from Governor l.. B. Hanna of
North Dakota. Governor Hanna is a
nephew of late Senator Mark Hanna
OF Ohio, and before his election as
governor served as a member of con-
gress for several terms. Mr.. Nichol-
son. who is acquainted with the gov
ernor, said today that he is a practi-
cal man of affairs who makes no pre-
tensions to being a reformer, and that
what he says about the value of the
prohibition law in North Dakota
should be taken at it's full face value
The letter is as follows
State of North Dakota
Office Of the Governor
Bismarck
L. B. Hanna, Governor.
Feb 20, 1914.
Mr.. S. E. Nicholson.
Richmond, Ind.
My dear Sir:
l have your letter of the 18th inst
asking as to the prohibition law of
North Dakota and wish to say with
out any qualifications that it has been
a wonderful success.
We have tried it here in North Da-
kOta for twenty-five years and as each
year goes by the law grows stronger
and the sentiment for it becomes
stronger among the people. Today we
have practically no trouble whatever
in enforcing the law. We have no
open saloons and there are only a few
drug stores in the state today that
sell liquor and they sell it under a per.
nit and doctors prescription system
The boys of the state are growing up
without knowing anything Of the sa
loon and there is no question what
ever but that it has been of infinite
value to them. Our people are pros
porous. The percentage of inmates in
our state penitentiary per thousand oil
population is about the lowest of any
state in the union and if it were not
for the fact that about sixty percent
of he inmates of the penitentiary are
not residents of the state, but are
men who came here during the harry
est and threshing and got into trouble
there would be no other state with sc
small percentage of criminals as
North Dakota and most of those who
are in the penitentiary are those who
are there by reason of committing
some crime while under the influence
of liquor, this liquor having beer
brought into the state by what we cal
"bootleggers," but we had very
stringent law passed a year ago as tC
/ them and we are now driving then
! from the state.
Thanking you for your letter, | am,
Sincerely,
l.. B. Hanna
