D. M. Stearns.
This miracle of the feeding Of 5000
men, besides women and children, with
a few loaves and fishes is the only
miracle recorded in each Of the four
gospels and seems to me to set before
us the one thing which believers ought
to be doing, and that is to give the
bread Of life to every creature, for the
gospel Of God concerning Bis Son Ia
q trust committed to us to use for the
benefit Of others, and If we are not
faithful I'm the ministration Of the trust
it will prove O serious matter for be-
levers at the judgment seat Of Christ.
If any should ask, What can I do about
it? let such remember that the bread
and fish Of this miracle came from O
little boy and was possibly his lunch
which his mother had given hina, but
it came into the hands Of the Lord
Jesus, and He multiplied it and used
it. I believe these facts are the rea-
son why Of all that has been wrought
in and through my church and Bible
classes for over twenty-five years. for
! asked Him to let me be like one Of
the boys loaves, in His hands to be
blessed and broken and passed on to
help feed hungry thousands. And has
He not wrought wondrously?
Any one who is willing He viii &C
cept and use as He shall see at. The
second part of our lesson, the toiling
disciples In the dark night with con-
trary wind and He on the mountain

age during which we are In the con-
fiict with the world, the flesh and the
devil, but He Is at the right hand Of
the Father for Us. He sees us toiling,
and In the morning watch He win
come, and we win be suddenly at our
destination, forever with the Lord. 1t
was Passover time, great feast of
the Lord to commemorate their deliv-
erance from Egypt, but 1t had become
merely feast of the Jews. Not until
Israel shall be delivered the second
time and the nation be reborn and the
Passover be fulfilled in the kingdom
shall the whole world hear Of the Liv-
ing Bread, for then shall Israel bios
som and. bud and ill the face Of the
earth with fruit lisa. xvii, 81.
In the meantime We who are re-
deemed should be wholly occupied in
giving the Bread of Life as far and as
fast as possible to complete His church
and bring the morning Of His return.
He is, as then, full Of compassion to-
ward the mulhtudes and is saying to
us, "Give We them to eat (Matt. xiv,
Is; Mark vi, 81: Luke tx, 49,; but, like
the disciples, many prefer to send them
away as If it was no concern OF ours,
Some, like Philip and Andrew, talk OF
what might be done If we had the
money or speak of what is in sight as
wholly insufficient TO accomplish any
thing, forgetting that the silver and
the gold are His, and He always knows
what He intends to do and how He Is
going to do IL, and He cannot fail nor
be discouraged, for He shall see OF
the travail of His soul and shall be
satisfied lisa. xii, 4; lis. III. He did

terms of appointment six years. In
an opinion furnished the governor by
Attorney General LANCER it is held
that Lewis nomination was illegal, in
that it was sent to the senate before
the act under which it was made was
approved. and that therefore Lewis
office becomes vacant in June, when
his original two-years' term expires.
The situation is similar to that in the
board of regents, deposed entirely on
the same grounds by Governor Frazier,
but which holds over because Of the
senate's refusal to confirm Frazier S
five appointees.
The governor also has sent to the
senate nominations for appointive
members of the state board of educa-
ton, who are President Crane of the
Minot normal. President Smith of the
Bottineau school Of forestry, f. G.
Gazette, superintendent of Ransom
county schools, and DR.. w. G. White
more of Bowman county.
DR.. A. G. McGurren of Devils Lake
has been nominated to succeed self
as superintendent of public health and
secretary of the state board of health.
The index of appropriation bills
introduced during the present session,
prepared by the budget board and filed
with the legislature yesterday, shows
that a total of $10,025,000 has been
called for in appropriation measures.
The total requests considered by the
budget board aggregated $685., 900,
and the board recommended to cover
these totals $5,423,000
The total assessed valuation of the
state in 1915 was $354,O00,0 900, from
which total state tax at four mills,
the maximum levy for-s state general
fund purposes, would yield $1,416, 900
per annum, or $2.S32,O00 for the
biennium. The miscellaneous income
from fees collected by departments

1t does seem strange from our stand
point that the multitudes should be
sent away in peace for night of rest
and those who had ministered to them
be sent out into a night Of tempest
and toll and perplexity while He who
knew all and did all and was fun OF
compassion for all was away in the
mountain alone talking over things

our next lesson (verse so, and we can
not call too much attention to IL, He

had sent Him, and we are not as right
as we might be in our daily life with
Him unless He is all in all to us, as
the Father was to Him (Col. iii, III.
His doings and leadings often cause US
fear, but His word to His disciples is
always: "Be of good cheer. 1t is 1; be

when we can truly say that we al
ways accept His viii concerning us as
perfect we shall walk on the waves Of
all circumstances without sinking, for

John, Nv, IS: II Tim. 1, q. Inwardly
we should always be saying, ''Not I,
but Christ" and concerning all things
outward, whether people or circum-
stances, we may have grace to say, as
Joseph did to His brethren, "It was
not you, but God" We may continual

Mr. Bentson will entirely remodel
the structure, putting it in first class
condition and arranging the lower
floor as a modern store room and the
second floor in suites, of offices. The
location is an excellent one.

total of $4,9O9,OOO available for the
ensuing two years.
OF the states total Of forty-four
and one-half million acres, nearly
forty million were on the tax lists in
1916. The balance is poor land, so
that little relief may be anticipated
from the addition of new taxable
property. The only alternative seems
to be a horizontal increase in the
assessed valuation. and in the estima-
ton of the budget board a fiat raise
of 20 per cent is necessary. This would
make the assessed valuation for the
next two years $425.O00.000 and would
increase possible revenue, including
fees, to $5,500,000.
Many appropriation bills have been
killed in both houses. but it remains
certain that the appropriations for the
coming biennium will exceed five mil
lion, the highest figure reached in the
history of the state.

The water" stock OF a corporation
is understood to be the difference be-
tween the cost of the property and
the amount of the capital stock. For
example: 1t would cost at this time
to build the New Orleans. Texas and
Mexico railroad $S,S65. 636. The orig
inal cost was $12,194,231. The capi-
tai stock OF the company is $4,000
600. At the lowest estimate there is
about $2S O00, 900 OF water stock.
The railroad must pay a dividend or
profit on the whole capital stock to
be spoken OF as on paying basis.

Have the men who have lived and
worked simply to acquire great for
tunes obtained peace Of mind, happi-
ness and honor2 How many of them
could answer Yes?
Has the country been benefited by
the course they have taken? A very
large majority of our countrymen
would answer mo"
On the whole, the individualistic
age has not been a success either for
the individual, or the community in
which he has lived. or the nation.
We are beyond question, entering
on period where the welfare of the
community takes precedence over the
interests of the individual and where
the liberty Of the individual will be
more and more circumscribed for the
benefit of the community as a whole.
Mans activities will hereafter be
required to be not only for himself
but for his fellowmen.
To my mind there is nothing In the
signs of the times so certain as this.
How the Rewards VIII Come.
Our only decoration--the almighty
dollar-is receding into the background.
The man of exceptional ability. Of
more than ordinary talent, will here
after look for his rewards, for his
honors, not In one direction but in
two:-First-an foremost-in some
public work accomplished, and, sec
ondarily, In wealth acquired
In place of having 1t said of him at
his death that he left SO many hundred
thousand dollars it will be said that he
rendered q certain amount Of public
service and, incidentally, left certain
amount Of money.
Such a goal will prove far greater
satisfaction to him, he will live more
rational, worth while life and he will
be doing his share to provide better
country In which to live
have two reasons for believing that
future conditions will be as ] have
briefly sketched them:
First because the world is being
drawn together in one centralized
community through the wonderful de-
velopment in science and the marvel
lous work of the inventor.
Second, because In our country
especially we are entering upon new
stage Of development, which calls
loudly for men who will render dis
interested public service.
We face new conditions, and in
order to survive and succeed we will
require a different spirit of public
service.
One reason why am strongly for
universal military training is that It
develops In the youth a sense Of all
around responsibility to his country,

| As matter of fact, when working
man strikes 1t Is not merely to obtain
an increase In his wage; that Is what
the papers tell lis the trouble is al
about and that is what he asks for; but
way down underneath what he Is really
striking for is larger percentage OF
the profits Of the business.
He may not realize this, but, sub
consciously. this Is precisely what he
is doing.
No mere increase In wages can ever
satisfactorily solve this problem. 1t
can be solved only on the basis OF
profit sharing.
BY profit sharing I do not mean
bonus giving. mean actual profit
sharing plans based on the earnings
of the business, with fair percentage
to capital and a fair percentage to
labor after ordinary wages and inter
est have been earned.
Profit sharing can be done salts
factorily only when the business con-
Germ makes public its transactions, SO
that the laborer and the stOckholder
can know as much about the business
as does the manager himself
In the adjustment Of difficulties be-
/
tween capital and labor l am conf
dent that open books will accomplish
much more than open shops.
These changes are far-reaching and
fundamental. What are we going to
do about it? What is to be our men
tai attitude2 How are we going to
handle these problemsf
Can we approach them from the
same point Of view as did our fathers,
who lived in a strictly individualistic
age? Can we approach them from the
knowledge we have gained from law
books which were written In the In
dividualistic agef If we do we will
be combating the mighty onward
rush of new thought and new condi-
tions, provided In large measure by
the scientist, the educator, the inven-
tor.
What the Future Holds Forth.
What is the outlookf Is 1t a SAD,
pessimistic future that unfolds? Does
life hardly seem worth living under
the new conditions or does it hold out
an optimistic future, with finer op-
portunities and more worth while
goals?
Let me see II can picture 1t as
see it. First. just a glance into the
past
About the only goal we have had
has been the almighty dollar. The
first question asked when a man dies
is, How much was he worth% with
scarcely thought as to how much
he did for his community or his cOuD-
try.
But what has 1t all amounted tci

that man could not whip his horse as
much as he pleased he would have been
ridiculed Indeed, in those days the
idea that man had not the right to
beat his own child as he pleased was
given little attention.
When we were all driving horses and
buggies there was no speed limit and
a man did not have to procure a
license to drive horse. With the ad-
vent of the automobile license has
become necessity. The public must
know that the man who operates an
automobile knows first how to operate
1t and, second, to control it.
Society is finding it necessary to take
away much Of what has hitherto been
called freedom of the individual" In
my judgment this process is only in its
infancy.
The freedom of the business man to
do as he pleases is now being seriously
challenged, and l most heartily agree
with what Mr.. John d. Rockefeller, Jr.,
said recently at Cornell University to
the effect that one Of the chief quail
fications for manager of large busi-
ness concern is rapidly coming to be
the human quality and ability to ad-
just differences between capitalist and
laborer and to understand their rela-
tionshlp.
Relation Of Capital and Labor.
Until recent years little broad think
ing was given to this problem and diff
ferences were settled on the basis Of
might makes right" All this is rap
idly changing and we are entering a,
period of new industrial relationships.
In the long ago the relationship be-
tweeeD capital and labor was that Of
owner and slave, then came the period
Of master and man, then the period Of
employer and employe, each period
being decided step forward
In my judgment we are just now en-
tering period Of copartnership,
where the tool user will be part tool
owner and where capital and labor will
share more equitably In the profits of
the business In which they are Jointly
engaged.
This advance is inevitable because Of
our educational system, which teaches
the workingman to think for himself.
II is inevitable because intercommuni-
cation has told the worlingman in one
community what the worklngman in
other communities are striving for and
achieving.
It Is inevitable, because strikes and
lockouts can never be settled satisfac-
torily or permanently by merely rails
ing mans wages. .
It Is inevitable because It gives sta
bility to business and because It is as
advantageous TO capital as to labor.
