rom the love of God which i

Christ Jesus our Lord.
This passage Of scripture was the
embodiment other creed. This was
the anchor of her soul, the love that
would not let her go. The love that
she could not let go, for when she
came to know Christ, she loved Him.
And though the reaper called death
has come he cannot part them. Meth
er death nor life, nor angels, nor
things present nor things to come can
separate them. Oh, blessed union!
oh happy love where love like this is
found! This trust cannot be mistak-
en- it is founded upon the love of God
and manifest in the gift of His son
and avails for our salvation through
the blood of His cross. l know that
lit was the parting wish Of Sister
Jones that you should listen to these
words that expressed her assurance
of forgiveness acceptance of love and
immortality and heaven, when the
grave is open and the garment OF
flesh is being put away and the spir-
it has taken it's flight to be with those
she loved once more" 1t may be
true still that in many things we diff
fer. Gifts differ, we are not in
tended just to be alike either in mind
or body. Our training and oppor-
tunitjes for service differ, and opin-
ions differ, but our need Of God is tn?
same. The desire for knowledge and
love and fellowship, are the everyday
|hungerings of the soul. Surely in this
solemn service today we are more
sensitive than ever Of the need Of a
life that overcomes death, of the clasp
of hand that can hold us safely when
all things material are vanishing from
our sight and the judgment day draws
near
The opinions you hold may have
been different from those, formerly
expressed by Sister Jones, but that

every bill endorsed by the labor I'M
ions; that he had voted for the Work
mems Compensation Law the Eighl
Hours Work for Women Law, and the
Minimum Wage for Women Law, and
said unqualifedly that these laws were
favored by the best sentiment in all
parties, and were on the statute book
to stay. He said there was undoubt-
prices received by the producer and
those paid by the consumer, and fav-
ored cooperative marketing as rem
edy. Asking that the people Of the
state stop hating each other and get
to work to solve their problems to-
gether, he said in substance: "Dem-
agogues shout about the evils against
which we have to contend. and Just
there people are supposed to get mad
while as matter Of fact that is
just the time when they ought to keep
their head and begin to THINK. In
stead Of abusing each other for what
is wrong, let's get together and solve
our problems.
O'Connor's address was very fav-
oramly received, and the impression
was general that he gained votes by
his gentlemanly, fair and straight
forward presentation of the issues.
Johnson Of Alkabo made a brief ad-
dress recounting some of his cam
paign experiences. Mr.. johnson made
a very favorable impression upon his
hearers and there is no question but
he will give Congressman Sinclair Of
Kenmare close run at the forthcom-
ing election.
Mrs. Kara A. Dickinson, chairwonl-
an of the local women's committee,
was the first speaker. Her address
was replete with facts and figures
showing plainly that the women of to-
day are well~versed upon the issues
confronting the public.

need be no barrier to your acceptance
of the Grace of God. The word Of
the Master is plain, Him that cometh
to sme. I will in no-wise cast out. +"
Opinions should not stand in the way
Of the acceptance of so great saliva
ton. There is no reason why you
should doubt the power or mercy Of
God in Christ Jesus. Grandma Jones
had opinions differing from mine in
some ways, but we were both sure
that we were of the household Of faith
and of the family Of God and that
nothing could separate US from His
love. In that assurance and inspir-
alton we worked for the advancement
of His kingdom. Men usually strive
for what they believe to be of value
Things that bring comfort and joy.
Yet they are often slow to be persuad-
ed that the great facts of the Gospel
are true. Yet no one can be truly
happy without this assurance. There
is no real progress in life without
faith in a supreme being who is both
mighty and merciful and who is in
terested in all His creatures. And
it should be our constant aim to please
Him. Yet, without faith this is i'm
possible. 1t is hard for us to be-
lieve that some sins can be blotted
out. or that sinners Of the Bird degree
can be forgiven yet. Sister Jones was
persuaded that there was nothing too
hard for the Lord. That His tender
mercies are over all His work. That
the Heavenly Father never left Him
self without witnesses. That He
sends His rain upon the just and the
unjust. That His sunshine is free
for all. That every flower that
grows is token of His love, and a
manifestation of His power. But
some may say if this be so why does
God permit death to continue. Why
should the good, the true, the trust
full in common with the rebellious and

}. +. T. O'Connor, fusion candidate
for governor, spoke at the auditorium
Thursday night to an audience Of
about 1000 people, many Of whom
were women. 1t is the first time this
year that we have seen the ladies so
interested in politics, and we predict
that the interest will continue and in
crease from now on till election. At
the same hour Townley was talking
to an audience at the opera house,
and the comment we heard from a
number who listened to parts of both
speeches was that Townley was
prea ching the gospel Of hate, while
OConnonr preached that of good will
and cooperation.
O'Connor went to some extent into
the doings of leaders Of the Nonpar-
tisan League, and commented on the
fact that many Of the league sup
porters and state officials had become
dissatisfied with Townley's methods
and had refused to support him longer
He showed how the Townley press
constantly abused those who showed
any tendency to think for themselves,
and tried by the method of browbeat-
ing to stifle any expression of ind,
vidual opinion. In this he compared
the methods of the League to those
used NV the car. He told how, II
former leaders of the League are to
be believed, Townley really owned the
majority of the stock of the famous
sisal trust, although he swore in his
bankruptcy proceedings that ne mao
no such property, and had bought land
in Florida out of moneys IN the league
treasury. He stated frankly that
this rested upon the statements OF
Waters and Brinton, and he would not
vouch for it's truth. Turning ttc
things which do not rest upon inside
testimony, he told how Governor FRA,
zier vetoed the Terminal Elevator bill
in 1917, after it had been passed al
most unanimously by votes OF both
leaguers and non-leaguers, giving as
reason for the veto that he wanted
the elevator built by the proceeds OF
bonds and not by direct taxation. Their
he went on to tell how Frazier hac
approved bill in the 1919 legislature
to raise the same amount of money
bv direct taxation for immigration
and asked whether the farmers o:
North Dakota had ever asked for i'm
migration with the same decision tina
they had asked for terminal ele
yator. Going on to the initiated
laws, O'Connor asked his audience tt
vote for or against them as the!
thought best, explaining their mean
ing. On the initiated law to restor'
to the superintendent of education tn
mowers taken fro mher by the last leg
islature, he urged their vote in favo
of the law to. right the great wrons
done Miss Nelson.
Turning to problems Of labor, o.
Conner stated that he had WORKED
hard for the Full Crew Bill, as TO

be subjected to the seeming
Of death. There is moth
ing so solemn as death when taken
and viewed naked and alone. There
is no spot on earth so cold and dark as
the grave when mental clouds of doubt
and despair obscure it from the light
of Heaven. We need not, however,
remain in doubt. The light has come.
The scripture makes the difficulty dis
appear. ut is appointed unto men
once to die. It does not say, however,
that that is the end, that that is all.
We make great mistake if we take
death by itself as the supreme fact of
the world. 1t is only one link in the
great chain Of events in Gods great
universe from the cradle to the throne
The advent Of which is birth, the pass
ing to fuller and a more glorious
environment is at death and to the
holy fellowship Of the blessed, the
spiritual and immortal. The one
great thought that l wish to impress
upon your hearts today, is that God
loves you all, believe, that it is the
message Sister Jones gave me as her
parting word to you that God not only
loved Moses and the Prophets and the
Saints of all ages, but that He loves
the sinner too, and has sent His min
listers to preach the gospel of recon-
citation. The keys of the Kingdom
of Heaven, were given by the Master
not only to Peter and the IL Apos-
ties, but are as freely offered to you
today. For St. Paul says, "He that
spared not His own Son, but deliv-
cred Him up for us all, how shall He
not with Him also freely give US all
things" For those persuaded, the
trusting obedient and true, there is
also included in this comforting as
surance the gift Of the keys to Man
sions in the Fathers house.
Sister Jones was persuaded, she ha S
left His testimony to comfort and en-
courage US in our journey home. She
was spiritually minded woman,
many who met her but seldom took
knowledge of this, and those especial
ly in this vicinity have felt the inn
pact of her strong personality which
for long years has been moulding
influence for good, and now dear
friends and bereaved, our real comfort
is in the remembrance of her conf
dence in God.

AUNT BETSY JONES

The following comforting funeral
sermon was preached by the Rev. VIM.
C, Hunter of Minot, over the re-
mains of Mrs. Betsy Jones, pioneer
citizen Of Ward county, whose death
occurred recently at Sawyer:
MY Dear Friends, many of US were
looking forward to the 18th day of
October, with the expectation Of
spending the DIST anniversary with
Grandma Jones. But the Angel OF
Death has interposed to deprive us
of her presence and company, and to
permit her entering larger circle
and sweeter fellowship and 70 be with
those she loved long since aid lost
while We believe and are Ssured
that the change to her is for the bet
ter. She has gone home TO be for
ever with the Lord, to suffer no more
and to sorrow no more, for her life's
weary way of toll and care is ended.
Her day has dawned whose SIN shall
never 20 down. She rests from her
labors. Her work is done, and her re-
ward is sure. We would not seek to
call her back, for we know that the
God whom she served and loved ard
trusted, is able to deliver her soul
from death and to present her fault
less before HIS t.lr.ne with exceed:c:;
joy. Her hope was built on moth
ing less than Jesus Blood and 'ighte-
BUSINESS. Betsy Jones lived the life
of Christian, and precious in the
right of God is tie death of HIS
Saints, and glorious their immortal
ity. We have many grounds Of as

Those who knew her besl daring her
many years Of residence 1T Logan,
and in Sawyer, can testify Of her
active life of usefulness and intel
lectual vigor. Her kindly and ready
counsel to those perplexed and dis
appointed in the battle Of i,fe. Her
sympathy for the fallen ard the be-
reaved. Her home was by the way
side where many weary travellers
were made welcome to res and re-
fresh themselves and having thus
rlnstered to the needy in the name

Lose her reward. Many as we'll as
we will feel the loss Of true friend
and counsellor and have real cause
i Of sorrow, for we have sustained a
great loss. A great light has to us
become obscured But the great
er light of which she was but the re-

Righteousness has arisen with heal

lin His way with safety and comfort
The words of St. Paul, 81 know whom

that He is able to keep that which
III have committed unto Him against

faith in God also. If I can speak
word in season that shall be as good
seed sown in good and honest hearts
today, think that it must be as a
parting memory from Sister Jones
for she had previously made the re
quest that I should preach her fun

HIS own particular work TO do In

gcntial and that no one else can do
quite 20 well. Though sometime
this work may seem small in com

roles, {. is nevertheless fully as i'm
portant IN the eternal scheme OF
things. he said
Two quotations which he used
most effectively were as follows.
