HUMANS, LIKE OSTRICHES.
TRY TO COVER THEIR Sins
Or. Erwin Declares Repentance and
Full Restitution Essential 10
Moral Well Being.

Attendance at the DR.. Erwin
evangeIistic meetings at the First
Presbyterian church in Fargo is in
creasing, and last evening the meet
ing was very well attended.
DIR. Erwin took his text from
Proverbs 28-13. He that covereth
his sins shall not prosper; but whose
confesseth and forsaketh them shall
have mercy.
DR.. Erwin said that it was a well
known fact that when an ostrich is
pursued, he sticks his head in the
sand and thinks ii is hidden. He said
that many people are very much like
ostriches in that they try to cover
up their sins and think that they are
not known. People should not only
repent, but they should make restitu-
ton so far as is in their power. If
you have offended your neighbor, go
to him and make 1t right. Pay your
debts. DR.. Erwin said that many
merchants did not go to church for
much OF their goods that was not
paid for.
Sin Is very much like cancer. There
are only two ways Of treating it. It
can be cut out or It can be covered
UP. To cure it you must cut 1t out
for il you cover it up it will eat you
UP and destroy you. He told the
story Of Zacheus who told Jesus that
he gave half of his goods to the poor
and If he robbed anyone, he repaid
it four fold. He said some people
would not have anything left IL they
did this. This is the reason they do
not repent. He told the story of
David's and Peters repentance and
also told stories of recent occurrences
when men not only repented but re-
paid for stolen property. There are
only two ways: play the ostrich or
heed Gods call, confess and forsake.
Paul Erwin the pianist Of the party
entertained the congregation by play
ing My Jesus I Love You, The
at the Door, and Home,
Sweet Home on the grand piano at
the same time,
DR., Erwin will preach on Self
Destruction or Moral and Spiritual
Suicide tonight. Services begin at
1880 o'clock. As there is no school
Saturday it is hoped that there will
be a large number Of students pres
ent.

CHILDREN TAKE
DEEP INTEREST
IN R. c. WO[ X
Gardner Teacher Tells
County Superintendent
About ''Her Flock"

Red Cross work has made one
North Dakota school a community
center"
Miss Eva Barry of Gardner. is so
delighted because OF the interest be-
ing shown by her children that she
has addressed a letter to J. w. Riley,
superintendent of the Cass. county
schools, telling him "all about it"
Il called you on the telephone
about six weeks ago about forming a
Red Cross organization in our school,
and l promised then that l would let
you know how we got started"
writes Miss Barry.
Il found the children very anxious
to take up the work and rather than
have a branch Of our own in
which the children would lose inter-
est after school, we decided to pay
one dollar each and join the local
branch of the Cass county chapter.
ITO raise funds we had Professor
Roy A. Corbett Of the North Dakota
Agricultural college here and he gave
a splendid moving picture enter
tainment.
THE boxes sold very well. We took
in $50, that being enough to enroll
thirty three pupils and make a
splendid donation to the branch, be-
sides. / wish could tell you how
much interest it has created in re-
gard to our school.
Before this we were not looked
to for help, and from now on our
school house is to be a real COM
munity CENTER and know viii Gre
ate interest in the betterment Of the
school.

ed to get into the office soon to tell
YOU ali about it, but cannot, so must
hope to tell you part of the good we
have already derived"

MARTIAL Law PREVAILS
IN THREE GERMAN CITIES

that the movement was doomed to
early failure.
The trades unions are declining to
pay out strike benefits. AS an indica-
ton Of the lack of centralized direc-
ton, 1t is said that only few Of the
big plants Of Berlin were forced to
suspend operations completely.
The government board of the Social
Democratic party announced that it
had not taken over the management
of the strike. The trades unions
thought the general commission also
disclaimed responsibility, and the
strike appears consequently to have
been orphaned. so far as these two
authoritative bodies are concerned.
The part played by Philip Scheide-
mann. Friedrich Ebert and Herr
Braun, Socialist leaders, is explain
ed on the ground that they are
anxious to prevent the strike from
resulting in REORGANIZATION and riot
ing. While the party as such en-
dorses the political demands regard
ing domestic affairs which were made
by the strikers, it is generally be-
lieved that 1t definitely disapproves
the present strike as an instrument
for forcing the government to meet
these demands.
The Tageblatt warns Scheidemann
and Ebert against playing TrotzlSy's
game, and appeals to the radical
leaders to bring the outbreak to a
conciliatory conclusion, on account
Of the effect abroad and for the
sake of the future prospects for the
internal reforms championed by the
reichstaE majority parties.
The official bulletin Of the national
liberal party declares that the Berlin
strike leaders are playing into Trot-
zl5y's hands. Most Of the newspapers
OF the reichstag majority parties
continue their criticisms Of the
Socialist. The Germania says that
by associating themselves with the
strike both sections of the party have
very bad tactics, which
might well have consequences in
to themselves.
The Freisinige Zeitung says the
peoples party viii have
nothing to do with the latest acts of
the Social Democrats, on whom IL
throws full responsibility for all
of the strike.

ouist on American Front.

With the American Army in
France. Thursday, Jan. S1.-Condi-
tions were quiet on the American
sector all day today because OF the
fog, which tonight showed no signs
Of abating. Beyond a few shots from
both sides at registered targets
there was little artillery firing. There
was virtually no infantry activity.
Additional details of yesterday
raid show that only the heroism or
the platoon in the trenches nearest
the listening post raided prevented
the enemy from entering the trenches
and, perhaps, capturing prisoners.
AS soon as the barrage FIRE lifted
the platoon came out Of its dugouts
and stepped to the firing platforms.
Their rifle fire held on superior
number of Germans who tried TO ap-
proach. When the enemy saw that
the Americans were determined 20
hold the position they withdrew into
the fog. Later a number or bloody
enemy rifles and other equipment
were found beyond the American
position.

with the American Army in

ing with equal regularity. So If the

The mail service has been arranged

n that the coming letters get TO
those TO whom thew are addressed
ana the outgoing mail gets to the
army postofice as soon as possible.
The army censors say that for the
most part the men now In the
trenches write to their mothers. The
general tone Of all such letters.
which indicates the high morale OF
the men in the line, is;
Don't worry about me-Im all
right. Food is good and ! am feeling
The censors say that there has
been a remarkable change in some
OF the letters of the men who the
first time they were In the line
wrote home:
sThis may be the last letter you
receive from me-"
Commenting on this, one Of the
censors said:

z. c. Fisher, superintendent OF

having much trouble in keeping the
children in school.
Because the factories and other
lines of business are paying large
sums of money the school children
of a low age are going to work,
breaking tho state laws OF employ
ment and IN the future will have
no education and their only salts
faction from not finishing school
probably will be a few dollars and
the fact within them that they wish
they would have finished school.
When children between IA and l6
years of age leave school TO look
for work they should know what
the law OF the state of Illinois re-
quires in such cases.
The law requires that before the
child can legally be employed there
must be issued an employment Ger
tificate. Before the employment
certificate can be issued the law re-
uuires of the child three important
things: a written statement from
an employer that he viii employ
the child stating the kind Of en-
ployment, the number Of hoers
each day, and the number of days
per week: school record signed
by the principal of the school. WhIcn
certifies that the child has COM
pleted at least the fifth grade, and
has attended at least 1870 days eth
er between his 18th and 14th birth
day, or during the year preceding
his application for an employment
certificate: and proof that the child
is at least "A years of age.
Many of the delays and troubles
in securing employment certificates
result from delays in getting the
proof of the age. There are three
ways that the officials have in find
ing out the age of the child; bap-
tismal certificate; a passport show
ing the age of the minor. No
will not be taken unless No. 1 can
not be secured.
Specify Work.
When the pupil asks for his Ger.
tificate he must have with him =
statement CT the kind of work to
be performed and the hours per
day he shall work The statement
will not be accepted if it merely
states factory work" or states
that the child will be employed
week days" but it must state the
kind of work such as "pasting Ia
bells" and the hours, for example.
eight hours per day. six days Il
week, according to law"
People desiring TO have their
children work during the summer
must confer with the employment

son Of this country, lies in a hospital
behind the French battle front, "get-

who Is a member of the 16Sth infantry,

Private Heintz writes his sister I'M

word received from him. His wounds
were received from shrapnel, one piece
Of which bored hole thru his left leg,
and another took off all but one of the
fingers of his left hand The piece of
shapnel that tore the hole thru Heintz' $
leg shattered the bone, causing a
compound fracture. Heintz writes that
he is getting along fine" altho he
still is in the hospital 1t is quite
natural to assume that his injuries will
prove such that ne will be discharged
as UNIT for further military service.
