VALUE or THE SABBATH


Those who do not read and study
the Bible have limited views Of the
value Of this divine institution. With
marriage II was ordained In the time
of mans innocency. AS soon as God
made man he gave him these two In
stitutions. God must have considered
them of the first Importance as they
we're his first mandates. The Sab
bath Is not q Jewish Institution. II
existed two thousand years before
Abraham. God gave man the Sabbath
because his nature demands 1t. He
made 1t for man. One day In seven
given to rest restores mans vigor and
gives him renewed strength and pow
er of endurance. A man can do more
and better work in six days than he
can in seven. This has been demon
strated by divers experiments. The
same is true of lower animals as has
been proven many times, therefore
God included beasts Of burden in the
day of rest. Again man has a spir-
itual nature that must be cultivated to
make him what God means for him to
be. He is a religious animal and
needs these facilities which will foster
and stimulate his spiritual nature. To
meet this want God has ordained that
one day in seven be given to religious
exercises. Man is prone to forget God,
and his dependence on him for every
blessing he enjoys. He needs to lay
aside the cares of the other six days
and give himself to meditation, pray
err, the study of Gods word. For that
purpose God instituted the church,
called men to preach the gospel and
ordained the sacraments, all of these
things are of divine appointment, and
are all designed for mans happiness
and we'll being.
In the laws of Moses God gave spe-
| cific directions for the observance of
| the Sabbath. All work was forbidden

opened and there was worship. The

GERMANY SEEKING
. AFTER-WAR DIPLOMATS
(ByJ United Press. !


Berlin, (By Mail. il.)-Finding men
who can satisfy the Entente capitols
as ambassadors is a problem perplex-
ing the German foreign office. The
Germans are anxious to get men who
will get as favorable standing as pos
sible with the Entente nations. The
question is to find Germans who are
not compromised in foreign eyes,
especially for England and America.
According to inside rumors from
the foreign office, Count. Bernstorfs
is to name his successor at Washing
ton. There -is no one in diplomatic
circles who is considered entirely
satisfactory. $ The radical elements
are boosting for Maximflian Harden,
but Harden has not the confidence cs
the foreign office, who say he is too
blunt.
Prince Lichnowski is not a pos
sibility, according to both the foreign
office and the prince, too, who says
he might go back to England, but
cannot 60 so tar as America where
<hs would be out Of touch with his
business Interests. Theodor Wolff,
newspaper owner. is talked of for
Paris.
Bernstorff will probably be sent to
Italy. according to rumors. since
Rome is the only capital that would
tolerate him, it is felt in Berlin.

FARMERS STATE BANK ! /
PLANS CONSTRUCTION :.
OF MODERN BUILDING
Plans Completed for Removal
of Institution From Nymore
Section to Business District

Farmers State bank, which opened
for business in the Fifth ward in Au-
gust, 1917, and which has developed
until it now has total resources Of
$150,O00, will soon move from the
Fifth ward to the business section
of Bemidji, and will be located at
2OS Third street, as was announced
in Thursdays Daily Pioneer.
1t will move to its new location as
soon as a fire-proo. vault can be con-
structed, which will be about June
/, but this location will be tempor-
ary, as the vacant corner at Fourth
street and Beltrami avenue, has been
purchased, and the erection Of mod
ern bank building next year is anti
cipated.
AT recent meeting of the board
Of directors 1t was decided unani-
mously to move the bank to the busi-
ness section of the city. At pre-
vious meeting, when vote was TAX
en-, the holders of only 35 shares
were opposed to moving the bank.
The moving proposition has been
under consideration by the anymore
bank since the annual meeting in
January, and the board Of directors,
after serious stady, arrived at the
conclusion that the interests Of the
stockholders would be best served by
the move, in view of the fact that
none of the Nymore buildings de-
stroyed by fire last September are to
be rebuilt.
The Farmers State bank opened
for business in the Fifth ward, Au-
gust 2S, 1917, and in spite Of their
comparative isolation from the busi-
ness section of the city proper, has
enjoyed a su su-stantial growth, now
having total resources approximate
ing $150,000.00. The capital stock
is $25, 900, and surplus $4,000. The
capital and surplus will be increased
before work is started on the new
building.
The personnel of the board of d.
rectors is as follows: H. r. Gillette,
Edward Paulson, August Jarchow,
August Burr, o. ]. Tagley, Quincy
Brooks, and J. Leroy Elwell.
The officers of the bank are, H. r.
Gillette, president: Edward Paulson,
yice-president; J. Leroy Elwell,
cashier; Earl A. Luke, assistant cash.
