why Were You Born?"
Is Question Asked
-. In Pastors Sermon

"Why were you born? 2" asked Rev.
/. II. Gallagher, pastor of the First
NJ. E-church in his sermon Sunday.
DR.: Gallagher said in part: ,

king Jesus replied, For this cause
into the world that I should bear wit
ness unto the truth
From the cradle to the grave men
and women are asked a long list of
questions. These. are difficult and
puzzling. Two men are grinding at
the mill, n is taken the other is left.
Why not both? The one left is not al
Ways the better one.
why were you born is a straight
question. The insurance agent asks
not why. but when. were you born.
The doctor asks not why. or when,
but how. were you born. If there is
anything abnormal about the way we
are born he wants the facts. The U.
s. government in building an army to
lick Germany asked not why but
where. were you born.
One wonders why some were ever
permitted to be born. What wrecks
them along the shores of life! These
wrecks represent men and women
with no purpose and no objective.
Like corks are they upon an unknown
sea. i &" 's.s~ .a4

make a partial success of life because
they tackle too many things. You can
do but a few things and succeed.
There is one thing you can do well.
We shall do we'll to discover that fact
before we go much falIher. Adjust
ments are more difficult as we ma
ture. Parents are often responsible for
insists in their children. Because no
one understands or cares very much,
many a mute inglorious Milton is
found boss of a shooting gallery or
selling hot dog at the county fair,
why were you born? You were
born for q great adventure. Now are
we the sons of God and it doth not
vet appear what we shall be- One
thing Is certain, we were never made
to sprawl in the gutter, nor eat dirt.
The sons of God do not reside there.
We are born for higher things. Judas
sold his Lord and thought he drove a
dandy bargain. He found out it was a
rotten bargain. Conscience smote him.
He became a suicide. He was ashamed
OF his dirty deed. Judas was born for
better things. The younger SON de-
manded his share of the estate. He
spent 1t IN a far country in riotOus
living. He got Disguised. Feeding
swine was low down business in that
day. I will arise and go home He
was never born to carry swill to slop
swine.
why were you born? You were
born to be kings and queens and not
slaves. You were born to wear crowns
of manhood and womanhood. Whose
crown is that in the dirt? Through sin
or evil habits many a crown falls
in the dusty way? In the name of
God, and in His power, grasp your
crown and once again place it where
it belongs. Art thou then a king? For
this cause was I BORN"

WINTER WHEAT
OUTLOOK GOOD
Foreign Crop Prospects Are
Fair According to Trade
Bulletin.

The probable wheat supply for 1871
Just now IL a subject OF primary i'm
portance to the farmers Of this com
munity. and the prospective winter
wheat crop in this section will no
doubt have much to do with the
sprlng wheat acreage for Grand
Forks county farmers, as we'll as
farmers throughout North Dakota.
The daily trade bulletin from Chicago,
which is received in the office Of Field
Agent "A. J. SurTatt, is quoted as show
N that the present growth Of winter
Wneat shows: prospects for a large
yie!d, and points to a yield Of from
E776,0o0.000 to $50, 1000. 900 bushels,
me bulletin continues to say that
garding the sowing of spring wheat,
ana that while the prospects favor an
increased area, it is doubtful if it will
be as large as was heretofore esti-
mated, before the passage of the
wheat distribution bull by congress.
Inc following facts taken from this
same bulletin give an approximate
ioea Of the supply OF wheat on hand
IN tnls country, and the probable dis
|posal of it before the q is over,
The article points out that the move
ment Of wheat to the primary mar
kets of the United States from july
!, 191S. to March l., 1919, was about
$4,000, 600 bushels, compared with
l51.O0O.00O bushels for the CORE
spending time in 1917-1918. The
statement SHOWS the government esti-
mate of. the United States wheat crop
to be 917. 900, 900 bushels. with a sur
p Ply IT from the previous year of 49,
100000 bushels, giving a total OF
945,000,0 600 bushels. Allowing from
this amount, $4,000. 900 bushels for
home consumption, 8 900, 900 bush.
els for seed. and 1000, 900 bushels
for export to March /. leaves a sup.
ply on hand for July J.. 1919, amount.
Ing to 1877, 000. 900 bushels.
MI. Surratt calls attention to anoth-
er statement of the Chicago daily
trade bulletin, which reports the for
eign wheat situation as fair. l nthe
United Kingdom, work is showing
rapid progress, though a great deal
of blowing and seeding remains to be
done. In France the weather is re.
~ported-as favorable to the new crop
and the conditions are satisfactory.
Crop. news, according to the bulletin,
is rather meagre, but the impression
is given that due to the unsettled
conditions the outlook is not too
promising, and the food supply will
probably be small. Reports from
Italy show a smaller acreage thar
last year, and Spain reports a favor
able outlook. The Russian situation
is characterized as desperate, and
the crop outlook in the north and
central regions decidedly poor.
