The Experimental Wells.

The general appropriation BILL
passed last week by the first special
session OF th~ Second Legislature,
carried an appropriation of $4,000 for
the continuation of underground waite
development on the Colorado River
InCian reservation This is in addi-
ton to the $4,000 appropriation made
at the regular session OF the legisla-
ture early in the year. Active work
on the experimental wells is to be
resumed within the next week now
that the additional appropriation has
been secured. Only small portion
Of the first appropriation has been
used, but the state land commission
decided couple of weeks ago to tenn
porarily suspend operations until it
was known just how much money
could be secured for this work from
the legislature. The total aprOpria-
tions now on hand are expected to be
ample to demonstrate that suf-
ficient underground water supply eX-
lists throughout the reservation, which
information is desired by the interior
department prior to opening the sur
'lus- lands to settlement.

STRIKE PROBE COMPLETED

KANSAS CITY, MO, June l.
Every Indictment brought against the
Rockefellers by the bitterest agitators

proved, at the recent Washington
hearing before the industrial rela-
tions commission, according to Chair
man Frank P Walsh, in a statement
issued today The statement said:
with the close of the Washington
hearing the commission has practic-
ally completed its investigation of the
Colorado strike. The American peo-
PIE now have access to a public rec
ord, which, for the first time in the
history of the country, tells the whole
story of how great monopolistic
property interests go about it when
they wish to crush a revolt against
industrial despotism and thus retain
their arbitrary power over the lives

SHOULD BE UNIVERSITY OF RE.
LlGIOUS LEARNING.
Duty of Christianity to EvangeIze the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. a. Rice, .. y.
Pastor st. John NJ T.. Church. South,
ST. Louis. Mo.


ST. Louis. Mo.
Some years ago, the question was
asked: What is a college? L he at
tempt to answer it shook the educa-
tional world in America from center
to circumference. Another question is
now beginning to be asked: What is
a church? Without undertaking to
give a definition of it, let me ask, in
this initial paper, what the church
is for? The New Testament reveals
three distinct tasks to which it is
committed.
First, that of evangelization. The
church is divinely commissioned TO
reach for the lowest and the least
man IN the least land and offer him
sonship to the Eternal God; offer him
a divine power, which lifts him out
of the bog and places him upon the
highest levels Of human life, where
God and the soul are in fellowship.
This alone were an immense priv
ilege.

WHY NOT PLANT LOCUST?

In a country like this, where shade
is necessary the year around and
where dwellings. unless protected by
double roofs or some kind of shade,
time, it is surprising that more at
tention is not given to the matter
of planting shade trees instead of
building freakish window blinds, an
tique awnings and other outrageous
paraphernalia, which are at best only
poor substitutes. 1t is true that quite
number of people in this town have
come to realization of this fact and
have planted cottonwood trees, with
good results. These trees grow very
rapidly and give good shade, provided
they have pelnty of water and are
planted in fairly good grade of soil.
Aside from the benefit to be had
from it's shade, however, this wood
is of very little value either as build
ing material Or as fuel.
For the desert country like this
there is no wood that can equal the
common locust. No other tree is
easier or more quickly grown and but
few ii any kinds of timber are more
valuable to their owners at this time
of need in lumber that has a CONNER
cial value.
CuriOusly enough locust trees will
grow in any soil and need no water
once they have taken root. They are
easily started and can be transplant
ed without danger of loss. They also
may be grown in out of the way or
waste places where the soil is unfit
for cultivation, and they grow so
rapidly that in few years locust
grove will have trees that are large
enough to be made into posts for
fencing or lumber for other purposes
Locust posts have been known to re-
main in the ground for fencing for
period of sixty years, and when re-
moved the bark was not decayed, and
the wood was almost as solid -as iron
In the town of Blair, Nevada, some
years ago, number of people tried
to grow cOttonwoods and other kinds
of shade trees around their homes
but the attempt was failure, owing
principally to the poor quality of the
SOIL the lack of sufficient moisture
and the rayages of insect life during
certain seasons of the year Fin
a'y as a last attempt, a few locust
trees We're planted, and these did so
wei that before another year had
passed, over three hundred trees were
planted within the townsite, where
they may be seen to this day. This
only goes to prove the hardy nature
o. the tree.
Locusts bear the most honey laden
flower carried by any tree extensive
ly grown in America, and where
there are plenty of locusts and bees
in the same community there will be
a heavy yield of honey
The latest use for locust wood is
said to be i'll the manufacture of fine
furniture and interior finishing OF
fine residences. The wood has a
grain and color not found in any
other timber.

Teaching the Art of Living.

The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with it's evangelistic message.
The term, Religious Education, has
come to mean a specific thing in our
country namely, the training OF the
people in the local church in those
deep matters which pertain to the
art OF living [ am not now speaking
of the work Of education in schools,
colleges and universities, but the work
OF education at our doors, in the con
gregation. Every agency III reach
should be employed to the utmost in
this important mission. Indeed, the
local church could be made sort OF
university for all the people, in which
the simple, practical arts and virtues
OF everyday life should be taught and
enforced Only recently has this
special phase of the church's work re-
ceived anything like adequate Iatten'
ton. The New Testament WCrd for
it is Edification.

School of Religion Needed.

OF course, the Sunday School is the
center for all this work. although the
activities Of the church should extend
through the entire week and the Sun
day School should cease to be sc
named. 1t should be called the School
of Religion or the Church School OF
something else that indicates it to be
an all-the-week activity. During this
time various and sundry clubs, classes
musical organizations, culture courses
as well as distinctly religious meetings
should be held. Thickly settled neigh
borhoods, as we shall see, offer fine
opportunities for the development OF
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church
is committed is that of Christianizine
the social order; that of infusing the
spirit Of Jesus into every nook and
corner of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest of the church.

NeighborIy Love Essential.

II religion pervades and colors the
whole life then ours is serious busi
ness, for it will let no corner of the
world escape it's influence. The sooner
we learn that Christianity is not a
thing to be practiced in corner the
better for the world. The question of
the eighteenth century, touching Chris
t1anity, was, Can it be made to square
with the human reason? OF the nine
teenth, Can it be made to square with
the results of scientific research? OF
the twentieth, What can it do? We
must learn to enforce not only love OF
God, whom we cannot see, but love to
our neighbors, with whom we are living
In constant contact. Neither without
the other is Christianity whatever else
it may be. Everything that interests
his neighbors must interest him, IL he
is genuine follower of the Christ.
1t Is the mission of the church-the
rural as we'll as the city-to evange-
lize the whole world, to train to the
highest degree of efficiency those
whom it evangelizes and to seek to
make the spirit of Jesus the absolute
rule in all human relations.
