trend Of the discussion. Of the: recall
movement, sentiment for the recau
has been aroused particularly by the
rnismanagement Of those business at-
uvittes which have been imposed on
the state by reeen legislation. specif-
icattN the Mill and Elevator assocla-
ton. the Homehuilders' association,
and the-Rank Of North Dakota, the
management Of which is ofsau ex
oncio character. -
There has been no investigation Of
the handling of the executive work
OF the state proper by the governor, Of
the department of agriculture and
labor by the commissioner of that de-
partment, or Of the attorney generals
department by Its present head. But
the Industrial commission is composed
Of theae three officers who are given
exclusive control over the entire bust
ness machinery OF the state III. Hddi.s
ton to the control owe the affairs Of
their respective departments as con-
templated in the constitution,
Under the present arrangement both
the work Of these three great departs
ments and the vast commercial and
industrial business involved in tha
new enterprises is vested IN the hands
Of three men whose departmental
duties are sufficient to require their
entire time and attention. The new
law imposes on that other duties fully
as important. and requiring like time
and effort, The law was badly
planned. ,
In the organization OF this work It
IL evident that there were at work
the same minds that created the ma

the various activities Of the Nonpart-

league organization is but one Of a
number Of separate and Subsidiary

seem to have been able to quell. Pet
rosrad has been the scene OF much
fighting. and Soviet control there
seems to be s~ertously naenaced. Krou-
stadt is In a state Of revolt. and thus
far expeditions for the suppression Of
the revolutionary movement have
failed. What Is regarded % a more
serious menac to Soviet control Is
found in the general antagonisnh to
Red domination which appears to be
in evidence throughout the country
districts. Siberia has ceased to send
food westward, ana the coercion which
has formerly been applied there fails
to produce results. The western Sit
suation is rendered more acute by the;
breaking down Of transportation. as
this renders it impossible to obtain
food even from the districts where
popular disanection has not reached
the point Of open revolt.
The assassination Of Premier Dato,
OF Spain. has thrown the political sit
uation in that country into confusion,
and the lack OF his strong guiding
hand seems likely to render the task
of government there unusually diff
cult for some time to come.
The movement for wage readjust-
ment, which has been in progress for
IN time in the manufacturing
works, has reached the railroads and
the packing companies. both very
large employers of labor. The prin-
cipal packing companies have ans
nounced their withdrawal from the
wartime agreement. with their EN-.
ployes. and their intention to demand
a downward readjustment Of wages
on a very considerable scale. This an
nouncenent has called forth from the
heads Of the unions affected the admis-
sion to their members OF a proposal
to authorize the calling Of . strike If
the employers persist in their pur-
pose.
Action looking in the Same ,direc-
tion has been taken by practically all
OF the railroads in the country. The
proposals OF the various roads vary
with the circumstances, as each road
is acting for itself. But the general
movement is In accordance with the
views of the associated railway ex-
e%cutives. and theee " few classes Of
employees whose rates of pay will not
be affected II the reductions are made.
One complaint that Is made quite gen
orally. by the road managers is that
the conditions governing pay for everi
time are such rs to result IN, gross .ex-'
travasances Of payment. This situa-
tion,' also, is being closely watched by
the labor organizations affected.
Prohibition enforcement officials
have been thrown into some con-
fusion by q ruling made by Attorney
General Palmer just before the close
of his term to the effect that the law
does not prohibit the manufacture or
sale of beer, wine or spirits for met4c.
inal purposes. On the strength of this
ruling one New York brewer has de-
clared his purpose to resume the man
ufacture Of ordinary beer. to be sold
strictly for medicinal purposes. Pro-
hibition officials assert that the laws
of all but nine states are sufficiently
prohibttive to- destroy the effect Of the
ruling. and they appeal for suitable
legislation in the other nine states, and
wall ask congress for appropriate
amendments to the volstead law.

In Loving Memory

On June 18th, 1921, death drew its
dark and gloomy folds around the
body CT j. w. Atwood and carried him
to the One that doeth all things we'll.
Mr.. John w. Atwood was born Oct.
Both, dS47. He was "a years months
and II days old. He was a devoted
father and husband and trusted in his
Saviour. He was married four times
and none of his wives survive him.
He leaves children, 10 grandchildren
and one great grandchild, one brother
and a number of friends to mourn
their loss. We all miss him very
much here but our loss is his gain /
would say to the bereaved to weep not
for he has gone where there is no
heartaches and no goodbyes. With all
loving hands could do to keep him
with US, God said: ''Come up here and
live" He is now basking in the heav-
emily sunshine; watching and waiting
our coming. He trusted his Saviour
many years ago and united with the
Missionary Baptist church at Brush
Creek, Tenn, where he lived most all
his life. He will be missed every
where. l would say to the youngest
girl, Ellen, who has forsaken lots of
this worlds pleasures, and stayed with
father to the end that there is crown
laid up for you.
He is gone but not forgotten,
Never will his memory fade,
Thoughts of him will ever linger
Round the grave where he was laid.
Watch and wait for US, beloved,
For we know it can't belong
Until we are again united
In land of sun and song.
After funeral services were con-
Quoted by Bro. Davenport the body
was laid to rest in the presence of a
large number of sorrowing friends in
the family graveyard.

In Loving Memory

On Sunday night, April "A, 1921, the
death angels took from US our darling
father, A. H. Law. Father, we miss
you SO much. We can't go to your
home here and see you but I am so
thankful that / am ready to come to
your heavenly home where you will
be waiting and watching at the beau
tiful gate for your children and our
dear mother. Yet a small number of
his children has not made peace
with God but we are still praying and
hoping and trusting and asking the
Christians who read this to help us
pray that they may before their call
comes.
The beautiful gates were opened,
A genie voice said Come"
And with farewells still unspoken
He calmnly entered home.
He said the day before he died that
he was ready to go but if it were the
Lords will he was willing to stay here
and suffer. He was sick two months
and 81 days. He was 70 years old.
He was laughing and talking with the
doctor about 8 o'clock and about he
had fallen asleep in the arms of Je-
sus from which none ever wakes to
weep but wakes to sing Gods holy
praise around His throne through end
less days. Pa, we will miss you so
much but God knows best. You are in
better home than we are, that home
not made with hands. What a happy
meeting it will be when we all get
there to join pa and our two sisters
and little brother that are gone on
before and /, too, will meet my pre-
cicus little darling girl that God call
ed from US years ago. Our earthly
homes are made sad but in heaven
they are made glad.
Pa is gone but not forgotten,
Never will his memory fade,
Loving thoughts will always linger
Round the grave where he was laid.
He left a wife, 10 children, boys
and 5 girls, and a host of friends to
mourn and grieve. Children, let's live
fer God and meet pa some sweet day
where parting viii be no more.

The death angel visited the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Jim Carter and took
from them their darling, Geraldine,
who was born March %, 1916. She
was five years old and was taken from
this world April IS, 1921. The pa
rents and two little sisters will miss
Geraldine so much but dear ones sub
nit yourself to the Dear Saviour Who

and for the best. We can't see why
it is that He takes our sweetest bios
SONS fom us and we miss them and
their little voices so much. Dear pa
rents, let US say that we will meet
Geraldine over there. Don't forget
your promise over little Geraldine's
angelic form that you would meet her

Love Lifted Me" and she sang it
often. can hear her sing that with
the angels in heaven just now.
The dear little sisters who are left

OF UNCLE RILEY RICHARDSON

One week ago this evening as the
sun was casting its last rays across
the western horizon, bringing the day
of July End, 1921 to a close, the home
of Uncle Riley was made sad for it
was at this time that God in His in
finite wisdom said to Uncle Riley,
"Wen done, thou good and faithful
servant, it is enough. Come up high
err" and his spirit took it's flight to
live with Jesus to forever bask in the
sunlight of eternal day where there is
no death, neither sorrow or pain and
all tears are wiped away. 1t seems
that we should still see the form, and
hear the sound of his voice, but his
eyes are closed in their last sleep, his
lips are silent, his hands, which were
always ready to help, are now folded,
their work all done, and he now sweet
ly awaits the first resurrection over
which the second will have no power.
a few days before Uncle Riley died
he called US all to his bed and told US
all goodbye and talked to US of heaven
and things that pertain to life ternal
He said he was only waiting for the
summons and expressed himself as
having a through ticket" and some
time as the railroad train would pass
by he would say 81 am only waiting.
My train hasn't come yet" But it f.

Fifty Years in the Ministry
No. "a.

1t is said politicians are at liberty
to take advantage of any situation
lettering their prospects for election
and that there is always policy in war.
Just how far this sort of procedure is
permissible in the ministry l do not
undertake to say but am tempted to
relate an incident in my ministry and
leave the reader to judge whether or
not my conduct was or was not JUS
tifiable. Several years ago / was in
vited to accept a challenge to debate
with a Mr. Tant of Texas, who was
an experienced debater among the
Disciples. He was at the time holding
a meeting, in West Nashville and had
been so severe in his criticisms of
other churches and denominations the
people were wrought up to believe he
needed attention. The Baptists and
Cumberland Presbyterians and others
consulted together and decided to ac-
cept Mr.. Tant's challenge. They Sc
Iected me as their representative and
Mr.. Tant was notified and put in cor
respondence with me. Propositions
were submitted and signed at once
and the discussion set to begin in West
Nashville within five days as he had
engagements in Texas and other
places and could arrange to conduct
the discussion only at that time. So
the day to begin was about four days
ahead. / had never met the gentle
man and knew him only as an ex-
perienced debater, having conducted
about forty. At the time he was con-
Quoting a series of meetings in Nash

and have an idea what kind of a job
] had on hand. Accordingly boarded
the train one afternoon and ran down
to the city. With a big tablet and
pencil l went to the place where he
was to preach that night. l waited
till dark and then remained back of
the church till the services began.

ions and tenets of faith and they are
