on every side, What is the matter
with the church?
"The great underlying thought of all
religions is how to get to heaven, or
how to obtain Gods favor. Some say,
join the church; others say, be. bap-
tized; others say, learn the catechism,
and these are only a few of the many
ways whereby men have been taught
they cou.d please God and obtain His
iavo.-.
The Acid Test Is Purity
But this Psalm declares, He that
hath clean hands and a pure heart
shall receive the blessing from the
Lord and our Master on one occasion
said, Blessed are the pure in heart
for they shall see God In the years
gone by churches have spent much
time in splitting hairs about Adams
sin and who made the devil and where
God came from, but the days Of these
discussions are nearly past. Purity
is now the acii test of u sonshil
and the keynote of our present civil
cation. Pure food, pure water, pure
milk and pure politics are the themes
OF our discussions.
$50 we longer wrangle about pre-
destination or REORGANIZATION or hell
and. damnation, but ask the question,
Can a maj be a Christian and spit
the sidewalk i say no, when to
do so means to- spread disease. Can
4 woman be a Christian and have her
house filled with filthy flies that carry
disease and death? Certainly not.
Can a farmer be a Christian and take
no care Of his drains, so that the mix
he sells becomes polluted and carries
death.dealing germs to helpless little
infants? No, not when he knows that
thousands of babies die every year
from impure milk, Purity is the
watchword; he. that hath clean hands
and a pure heart shall receive the
blessing rom the Lord?'"

''T,le earth is the Lords and the

by Evangelist Jones Friday night,
taken from the first verse OF the oath
Psalm. The speaker said in part:
Fundamental 40 the Asonement.
"The Fatherhood of God and the
brotherhood Of Man is clearly taught
in this Psalm, and this vital truth is
as fundamental as the ~atonement; no
correct solution of life's problems can
be obtained if this fact be disregard
ed. In mathematics, i a mistake is
made of n figure, it is impossible
to obtain the correct answer, and so
in the problems of life we may never
expect to obtain the right results it
we begin with the wrong premies.
I'm the years gone by theol0gians

IA thousand reasons have been Civ.

now going on between the nations Of
Europe, and while many contributOry
influences have helped to bring about
this dreadful slaughter, the church
and theology cannot escape their
share Of blame. God is our Father
and we are all brethren, and to over
look this great fact is to disregard
one Of the basic principles Of life.

with Mr.. Basford in politics for years,
has said many things which might
have been conc:dered rather tough
on him, but we have also said many
things about him and his work as
insurance commissioner which were
honest expressions. In our opinion
he is one of the best insurance men,
thoroughly conversant with every de-
tail, that there is in the country, and
gave the state Of South Dakota a

LAST SERMONS
HERE TOMORROW
GUY WILSON WILL CLOSE
HIS SERIES OF MEETINGS Fl
81 IS !. ~ ...,
AT METHODIST CHURCH ,

The sermons of the Evangelis: Guy
l. Wilson, at the Methodist church
for three weeks past have been list
ened to by large numbers of people
and much good has been accomplished,
Tomorrow ends his labors here and
the subjects of the two sermons to be
preached, as previously announced,
will be for She morning service, The
Secret Of the Lord, and the evening
service, profit and Loss" Both
services should be we'll attended and
those interested should attend both
services if convenient as persons
hearing these will be we'll repaid for
the time SO spent.
10 The singing has been excellent and
the solo and duets have given great
satisfaction and have been very i'm
pressive. The members of the regti-
lar morning choir have for years been
doing a work that has been noted for
it's exceIlency and the instrumental
accompaniment by Mrs. Arnot has
given comfort to many that never go
to that church without being thankful
for the music and who many times
have SO expressed themselves. This
church has been fortunate in the
faithfulness of it's choir and its sbil-
ity is unquestionable.
The evening choir, composed OF
some of the best singers OF the city,
have been regarded for a long time as
one o the best chorus choirs In the
state. Both of these choirs are pre-
pairing special music for future occa'
sions an da great treat is in store for
members of this congregation and
visitors who may be present. The
duet Thursday evening by MI. J. A.
Yarson and Mr.. A. ]. Arnot, was con-
sidered by many as exceptional.
The text or the sermon was the last
clause of the 23rd verse Of the 32nd
chapter Of Numbers and the sermon
was one OF the greatest intellectual
efforts o the series.
Tomorrow should witness crowded
attendance for all services.

the march, rather, as we expected to
leave trails behind us and strike across
country to the base of Mount Clark.
Hot Rocks to Warm Cold Beds.
We held it to be but tribute to our
skill as mountaineers, however, when
we found an old sheep trail following
the very route we had planned to take.
For many miles we followed it through
the rolling forest east of Mount Starr
King, through Starr King meadow, and
out near the crest of a granite ridge
near Clark Fork. Here we left it be-
hind and struck across the open coun-
try, over ridge after ridge, across
stream after stream, until we came to
the northerly fork of Gray creek.
where we made camp. We had
reached the altitude of about $500
feet, and snowdrifts lay deep all about
us. But firewood was abundant and
our little nook among the tall frs
promised every comfort that KNAPP
sacker need expect.
In default of extra bedding we took
hot rocks to bed with US.
Inc nlSuL passed comfortably anu
we were up at dawn ready for the as
sault on Mount Clark, confident also
of success. AS we climbed the snow
lay even deeper about US. The forest
of fir and mountain pine gave way to
the harder white-bark pine, the tree
of timberline. Up to the top of the
ridge it crept, at the top mere shrub,
bent and twisted beneath the winters
weight of snow.
AS we climbed, our horizon to the
south and west widened. We were
looking across the valley of the Illilou-
cite toward the snowy divide separat-
ing US from the south fork of the Mer-
ced where lies Wawona and the splen-
did Mariposa grove of seQuoias. Yo-
semitic valley was but blue rift in the
forest with only its great domes, Half
Dome, Sentinel Dome and Starr King,
rising into any prominence.
Far different was our view to east
ward from the crest. Our ridge ended
on the east in an abrupt precipice.

MAJESTY OF SEA REVEALED

sea, fiecked here and there with foam
and its blue expanse cut sometimes
by the ash Of seagulls wing (the
seagull itself far below was invisible,
but its wings flashed bright as they
caught the SUM, stretched out to a
horizon line which was a perfect Sec

Behind US, and ahead where the

posed and cut short our view in a
straight line.
The sensation was one of perfect
content mingled with solemn rev.

not sail in sight and nothing to divert
attention from our swift arrow-like
flight.
"The shadow Of the bag moved
lightly across the waves. There were
no varying air currents, and the air
ship kept smoothly on with an even
motion.
THE sea beneath gave an added
sense of security, as though, If need
were, 1t would break our fall.
Even the mechanics, men hardened

Our First Naval Hero.

The first naval hero of the United
States-now almost forgotten-was
jeremiah O'Brien, a Maine man,
whose racial descent is clearly indi-
Gated by his name. He commanded
an American vessel in the first naval
battle of the revolution, which was
fought near Machias, Me-, June IL,
ITS. Some little time before an Eng
lish schooner, the Margranetto, was
az Machias, and number of the peo-
pie of the town, led by jeremiah
O'Brien and Benjamin Foster, con-
spired to capture her The attempt
was successful, and with O'Brien in
command, the Margranetto made a
voyage to the Bay OF Enndy. An Eng
lish schooner and tender were sent
out to look for the Margranetto, and
when O'Brien returned to Machias he
found them awaiting him. The first
naval battle of the United States was
fought then and there, and O'Brien
and his men added the schooner and
tender to their prizes.

MEANING OF "HoRSE POWER"
Simple Manner by Which the Now Fa-
miIiar Term Was First Brought
Into Use.

The use of the horsepower" as a
measure of an engines work came
naturally from the fact that the first
engines were built to do work which
had formerly been performed by
horses. John Smeaton, who built at
mospheric engines before Bolton and
Watt placed their more complete ma
chine on the market, had valued the
work done by strong horse as equal
to lifting a weight of $4,000 pounds
one foot high minute. When Bolton
and Watt began to bid for public IA
vor, they agreed to place their en-
gines for "the value of one-third part
of the Goals which are saved in its
use." They also increased the value
of the horsepower to $4,000 foot
pounds, so that their engines were
half again as powerful for their rated
power as those of their competitors.
In this way they established the value
Of the horsepower. The following are
the various values of horsepower:
Thirty-three thousand foot-pounds a
minute, $50 foot-pounds a second, q
565 thermal units an hour, 42.75 Their
NAL units a minute. The horsepower
of boiler depends on its capacity for
evaporation. The evaporation of 80
pounds of water from 100 degrees
Fahrenheit into steam at seven pounds
gauge pressure equals 341s pounds.

Well for us that this glorious vision
was compensation for all the many
miles we had climbed, for we got no
farther that day-and Clark still re-
manned unconquered. For we had an
ticipated the season for mountain
climbing by fortnight or more, and
the slope that should have offered an
easy rock climb to the summit was
now a precipitous wall of treacherous
snow. We had no rope, no ice ak, not
even a knife with which we might
have cut steps, and the icy edge where
rock and snow met proved an irwin
chile barrier to the summit.
Up and down the ridge we prowled,
over every ledge, into every chimney,
only to admit ourselves defeated in the
end.
For an hour or more we remained
upon the ridge feasting our eyes on

~N JUNE, Yosemite valley is at the
very height of its beauty. The
deciduous trees are in new leaf
naples and dogwood in tenderest
brightest green, oaks tipped with
pastel shades of pink and red in
prophecy of their autumn glory, aza

ripping mass of exquisite grass bright

After a week or more in the valley

ting muscles in condition again after
city-bound days, we we're anxious to
see what spring was like in the snowy
upper country. Accordingly, as pack
animals were not to be obtained for
love or money, we prepared to make
pack animals of ourselves, and KNAPP
sack over to Mount Clark 500 feet
on the southwestern boundary Of the
park, the most prominent peak of the
MERGED group.
There were four of us in the party,
two men and two women, and we
planned to be out two nights with a
comfortable margin of provisions for a
third night, if necessary. Bacon, hard
tack and that blessing to mountaineers,
soup, made up the bulk of our COM
missary, REINFORCED, however, by
raisins, chocolate, dried fruit, beans,
spaghetti and cheese. Our personal
outfits, of course, were reduced to bare
essentials.
Share Alike With the Men.
We women who "knapsack" pride
ourselves on being able to do our
share, so, while we do not pretend to
carry such heavy packs as the men,
we carry our own outfits and a part,
at least, of the general commissary
