May Retain Present School Building
In Ke0ta

MAoy Nesolu 1Ieoeut SCHOOL Oull0ln8
In Keota
Some of the Keota people who donated
money and work for the erection Of the
present school building in Keota, several
years ago, are advocating that it be re-
tanned here and not moved to another
location within the school district, as
voted at the school meeting. They take
the position that the only interest the
school district has in the building is the
expenditure it made for plaste-ing and
lapsiding, and that it would be better
to repay the district for this expenditure
and keep the building here for other
public use than to let it be moved away.
In this case a new building would be
erected where it was intended to take
the old one.

Prosperity of Dry Lands Astonishes

Prosperity of Dry Lands Astonishes
Development of the dry land country
northeast of here and the prosperity Of
the settlers is source Of great surprise
to oldtime residents of Greeley and vicin-
ity who knew the coutry in the early
days before the plow of the settler had
turned the sod and while the great plains
were the home of the buffalo and cattle.
Among this number are Moss Wyatt,
who rode the range in the early day all
over the country where now are pros
porous towns and progressive settlers
and Richard Patterson, who hunted
buffalo over the same ground. They
accompanied County Commissioner
Rowe on trip to the Coleman drstrict
last week to view some roads petitioned
for by the settlers and were almost
speechless at the appearance Of pros
perity and the beautiful crops that
abounded on all sides.
The old timers could hardly realize the
change that has come over the country
and were surprised beyond expression
at the signs of the times.
The party went over the line of the
proposed roads and were convinced of
the necessity of the highway for mark
eting the enormous crops to be harvest
ed this year. At Coleman, they were
served with one of the finest dinners
they ever sat down to, prepared by the
women of Coleman principally from
home raised products and the dinner
hour took on the nature of an expert
ence meeting in which tales of the pio-
neers of the cattle business and farmers
were recounted. Republican,
Greeley.

PROTECTED BY U. S. GlAG

New York, May 1S.-Aliens under
order of deportation to England and
France are to be sent through the
German war zone around Great Brit
ain only on ships flying the American
flag. according to instructions received
by immigration officials here from
the department at Washington.
This is a departure from the usual
rule that immigrants ordered deport-

same line that they arrived on.
1t is also advised from Washington
that the Russian port of Archangel
is now open and Russian aliens un-
der order of deportation may now be
returned to that port. According to
immigration officials there are few
aliens here at present awaiting de
portation to Russia, France or Eng

MISSION Of THE
RURAL CHURCH
SHOULD BE UNIVERSITY OF Re-
LIGlOUS LEARNING.
Duty of Christianity to EvangeIize the
World.
BY Rev. Jno. A. Rice, D. D.
Pastor St. John NJ. f. Church. South.
St. Louis. Mo.

Some years ago, the question was
asked: What is a college? The at
tempt to answer it shook the educa'
tonal 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.

Nelahborly Love Essential.

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

CARBONATED GAS TANK
EXPlODES IN WAGON

Pemeta, Okla, May 1S.-When a
tank of carbonated gas from a soda
water stand exploded here Monday
it caused four teams to run away
The tank was being hauled on a
dray wagon from the railroad station
to a store. The heat of the day had
affected the contents to some ex.

toppled over on the wagon there was
an instant explosion. Three other
teams, close by, in addition to the
one pulling the wagon, ran away
No serious results occurred, how

The cargoes handled in march

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 SO
named. 1t should be called the School
of Religion or the Church School OF
something else that indicates 1t 10 be
an all-theweek activity. During TINS
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 hne
opportunities for the development OF
things spiritual.
The third task to which the church
is committed is that of Christianizlne
the social order; that of infusing the
spirit of Jesus into every nook ano
corner of our life. Nothing is foreign
to the interest of the church.

Teaching the Art Of Living.

The church is commissioned also
to teach and train those who are
rich with its 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 in reach
should be employed to the utmost ID

local church could be made a sort OF

Of everyday life should be taught and
