The story of how Colonel Roose-

Employers of labor and their en-

Terse Comments on the Uniform
Prayer Meeting Topic of The Young
Peoples Societies - Christian En-
deavor, Etc.-For October 7;
"Christ's Yoke: What 1t Is and How
to Wear It."-Matt. 11:25-3O
God chastens to teach Every hard
ship that He sends is a message of
love. There is very sweet thought
in the Greek word that is translated
''chasten-" 1t primarily means to
teach to instruct, and it's root is the
word child" To chasten is to deal
with as a child. Thus Paul said IF
We endure Christening, God dealeth
with you as with sons" And remem-
Der. in this connection, that like as
father pitieth his children so the
Lord pitieth them that fear him For
he knoweth our frame; he remember
eth that we are dust"
1t is not possible for men or angels
to take a more solemn pledge than
that signed by every active member
of the Christian Endeavor Society
TO do whatever He would like to
have me do" When we come to sur
round the glorious throne of God, and
with unlimited powers. to serve Him
without ceasing. we shall not be able
to do one jot more than is compre-
hended in the sacred Christian En-
deavor vow The awefulness of this
pledge that we have taken should be
felt by all of us.
Religion is easy for most of us 1t
has brought to US respect and privi-
leges. In these times it is a correct
and honorable thing to be a Chris
tan. But we need to watch zealously,
lest we miss that sturdy fibre and
rugged character that belongs to the
early saints who had to endure hard
ness as good soldiers of jesus Christ
Their saintliness and strength came
to them by way OF stripes and sacri-
fees. We must tread the same path
if we would possess the same prize
Cheer and inspiration are in the
thought that each new hardship,
each new sorrow, that comes to the
Christian is but one more point of
Identification with Christ BY so
much is he nearer to Christlikeness
At the point of suffering he touches
the Saviour. We are made like Him
only as we endure His experiences and
duplicate His life. .,
The service of God is an unending
service. He accepts no short term
followers We are to be not only all
for Jesus but always for Jesus. as

WATCHING AND WAIT
ING FOR COLLINS

]. r. Collins, who came to this city
recently, making great ado about
opening a big office for the Inland
Oil Works Co., left the city about two
weeks ago and whether he will return
or not is problematical. A number
in this city hope that he will return
and square up some obligations or
use his influence in seeing that the
company, which is located in Ohio,
does so, if as he stated, they would
do, upon presenting bill.
Collins opened an office in the new
Jacobson block, bought some office
furniture, mostly con tick" rented a
type writer, hired a stenographer, an
office manager and field salesman.
He got out some attractive literature
at this office and ran an interesting
page advertisement in a recent issue
of this paper, informing the indie
pendent that the Inland Oil Works Co.
would pay for same. The company
writes that Collins had no authority
to contract bills in the company's
name. The day that Collins left, he
cashed a $25 check at the 500 depot
and this has been turned down by the
Inland Oil Works Co.
The office manager, one Johnson,
states that he was required to put up
cash bond for $500 before he Sc
cured his position and he hopes that
Collins will come back. Collins has
written Johnson that he will be back
in Minot soon and perhaps can give
a satisfactory explanation of his
strange actions.

P. w. Miller Home From Western Trip
P. w. Miller, president Of the Minot
Auto Co., who has been in California
for the past two months, returned
home Saturday. P. w. acquired
fine coat of tan during his sojourn in
the West but he is in the best Of
health and says he enjoyed the trip
immensely. Mrs. Miller will not re-
turn until the close of the present
school year. During his absence Mr..
Miller made side trip to Honolulu
and says the climate of the Islands
is ideal, but is rather too humid for
active labor of any kind. He says
the scenery is wonderful. Later he
went down into Old Mexico, and to-
gether with some capitalists from Los
Angeles invested in tract of 10000
acres of land. He says it is only a
question of time now before Carranza
will have quiet established in Mexico
and the country will again be in q
prosperous condition. He attended
the races at Tewana, the Monte Carlo
Of the Western Hemisphere. The eli
mate of California, he says, is very
uniform, ranging from IS to IS de-
erees right through the winter. Llv-
iLg expenses in California are much
cheaper than here, fruit being the
principal item of diet. Oranges sell
INC from 1Oc to 15c per dozen, bana-
mas at Sc, and the very best wine for
family use costs but SOC per gallon.
