PICKED FROM THE
SUNDAY SERMONS

DR.. G. A. Cahoon, speaking at Cen
tenary Methodist church on the top
ic: High Prices and Big Values
said: Paying the price is not mere
~ a law of trade; 1t is the law OF
life. Paying high price for the sake
OF true values is at the very heart
Of Christianity; exemplified by the
Master; Illuminated by the martyrs;
Eracticed by the apostles, and lived
by holy men, women and youth in
all the generations of mankind. The
principle must still prevail"
A. J. Dahlstrcm, Pastor of Swedish
Baptist church. "If God is for us,
who can be against us?" Rom. S-31
A sirgle word is often the pivot on
With infinite and eternal issues turn
A single word might throw a clouI
cf uncertainty upon the title of an
estate Of millions of dollars, and rem
der the inheritance. worthless, and
so this little word eff would prac-
tically nullify the whole force of the
victorious challange of this text, for.
If there be a shadow of doubt of
Gods being for us, then the whole
superstiUcture of hone and promise
Is built upon sand. Thank God there
Is no such uncertainty in the word
used bv the Holy Ghost. Not If, but
since is Gods great assurance There
is no shadow of question about the
Promises. and there is no place fot
contingency in the conclusion who
can be against us?" II is better to
Rave q little with perfect title than
whole kingdom with a flaw in the
conveyance. God left no room for
doubt in his sure promises, and no
excerpts US to claim them with tire
same assurance with which he pro-
claims them.

uncomfortable house, apartment and
office shortage, from which this city
has been suffering for three years.
Unless American capital can be in

that building en- wholesale scale
will be started as soon as British and
French exchange once more approach

American capital will cut great
figure in the building drive" in

OPPOSED TO piTcHlNG.

Five thousand acres of swamp land

and south branches of the Waterman
river, hense into the Blue Earth river
above the Rapidan dam and called q
wealth and health scheme by the
promoters of same, is more likely to
be death ard destruction plan and
will cause those who these many
years have made homes in these val
leys greater loss of property. Mil
lions of dollars now invested by
those who have permanent right TO
exist in safety will be endangered.
The filth from the sewerage carried
by these streams will come down
with the food waters and back no in
all low places, causing contamina-
ton to water works and over flow to
the present sewerage systems. Then
the typhoid and liphtheria will rage
without doubt Those who dwell in
or near swamp lands have no right TO
ask relief at the expense of so much
loss as will be sure to come in con-
sequence of this meddling with ma
lures laws and individual rights.
Bridges not built to resist such a
quantity of water will go out and
taxes increase from damage suits and
to rebuild these BRIDGES and add an
other burden to the heavy war taxes
now in force.
Swamp lands have a work to do
also as reservoirs for moisture in
times of drouth. Take this source of
evaporation all away together with
the cultivation Of land and in time
we will have nothing but sand storms
when gentle showers are so much
needed to promote agricultural
growth. The loss of life and prop
erty caused by this extra flood OF
water never intended to be sent
through these river channels by an
All Wise Creator. Good fertile lands
and the ho-~es of those who have a
rlcht to exist in safety viii be dam

Fo~ these n:any reasons those in
