Bible and the Soul.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
In the issue of July % read Mr..

that very deep and to a certain ex-
tent mysterious subject. In writing
this letter 1 will say i;'s for the
purpose Of throwing SONS light
upon the subject and in doing so
will take the Bible for my guide.
In the beginning OF mans career
in this world, God bresthed the
breath of life into man and he be-
came a living soul" So the soul is
a part OF Jehovah and consequently
10 of eternal origin. The Bible
teaches us to love the Lord with
all our heart, with all our strength,
with all our soul and all our mind.
Consequently the soul is separate
from the mind.
The soul is of a spiritual nature
and ] will direct your readers to
the only description our Savior has
given US of the soul or spirit.
when He came to the disciples,
walking on the water, a great fear
came over them, for they thought
II was a spirit. His answer was.
"A spirit has not flesh and bones
as i have"
The writer says we know nothing
about the soul and never will. Yes.
my friend. we do. Tive soul thar
sinneth. it shall die This is
Christ's estimate OF the soul: What
will IL profit a man IL he gains the
whole world and lose his own soulg

Constantine was a sun worshiper.

came out of Iberia, who told him

die. after having committed all the
crimes he could think OF. Then he
at once issued an edict that all
meeting places of heretics should
be demolished. He. Constantine

and holy deed he did was to pass
a law freeing all slaves who became
Christians. and to those who were
not slaves, who embraced the faith
he gave a white garment and twenty
pieces of silver, in that way in one
year he had purchased the common

BEAN BEETLE WIDEsPREADt

The release OF the State Of Ala
bama from quarantine on account
Of the Mexican bean beetle. a very
destructive crop pest. has been an
nounced by the Federal Horticui-
tursl Board OF the Department Of
Agriculture. This action was de-
cided upon on account Of recent de-
velopments in the scouting cam
paign against the beetle in tho
South, which showed a much greater
present distribution than was estt-
mated at the end Of last season.
At the time the quarantine order
was promulgated. the infected ares
was believed 70 be confined TO thir-
teen counties in Alabama, and 70
cover an area Of about $500 square
miles. Scouting during the presen,
summer shows that the beetle Is
present in injurious numbers over
about 10000 square miles in the
states Of Alabama. Georgia and
tennessee, and is distributed. Az
though as yet thinly. over an sdd,-

HAIL INSURANCE
CASE BEFORE N. D.
SUPREME COURT
Involves Payment Of About
Is Claims Amounting to
Several Thousand Dollars
Taken on Appeal From
Decision Of Judge Nuessle.

Bismarck, N. d., April 19.-(Sre-
ciaD The supreme court has today
before it the states appeal from a
decision of District Judge w. l..
Nuessle, Of Burleigh county, involv-
ing important points in the 1919
hail insurance law.
Henry Bossen, of Mercer county,
petitioned the district court for q
writ of mandamus to compel the hail
insurance department to place his
suffered losses.
The case involves whether or not
the hail insurance department is la
bic to pay losses for hail in the event
the assessor failed to list the land
for assessment.
Bossen claimed to have been the
owner of cropped land. A hail loss
was suffered July q, 1920, and the
adjuster allowed him $1,1G5.OO. The
PLAINTIFF accepted the Judgment.
The assessor certifies as to the num-
ber of acres cropped The insurance
department refused to pay the, loss,
however, on the ground that it was
not liable since the land was not
assessed for hail insurance taxes.
Attorney General Lemke, in his
brief for the insurance department,
denies the liability Of the state, as
serting that the assessor, whose
duty it was to make a return Of till
able land, did not do so, and>rit
therefore is presumed it was not
tillable land. The owner was bound
by law to make a report of the num-
ber Of acres Of cropped land, it is al
legged.
About twenty-five claims are af-
fected, the amount being several
thousand dollars.
The new hail law was changed to
provide specifically that the hail in
surance department will not be liable
unless land is listed for assessment.

BLOOM VISITORS
WERE In RECENT
WRECK ON PACIFIC

Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Ripley and
daughter Susan who have been the
guests Of Mrs. Eva Fogarty at her
farm home in Bloom township, left
Saturday night for their home at
Rochester, Mimi. Mrs. Ripley is a
sister in law of Mrs. Fogarty. The
Ripleys have been spending the win
ter at Los Angeles and San Francisco
and were on the ill fated steamer
Governor which went aground and
sank off Point Wilson near Seattle
on April 1st.
The steamer was rammed by the
freighter West Hartland early in the
morning and sank in thirty minutes,
the passengers escaping in their
night clothes. Mr.. Ripley managed
to save his coat and vest, which con-
tanned his travellers checks and 9TH
er. valuables, but everything else
was lost. The passengers were TAX
en- in boats to the . freighter which
was; in turn tugged to- Seattle, being
SO badly damaged by the. impact.
!; The trip required nine hours and
the passengers were met at the
wharf by representatives of the Ad-
miral Lines. owners of the, sunker
ship, and given every aid. All hotel,
doctor and clothing bills were paid
by the company. Mrs. Ripley's In
juries required several days hospi-
tai care. An inventory was taken OF
the lost articles which will be settled
for later by the steamer company.
