THE CHURCH's PREsFNT TASK

If Jesus Christ should walk into some of our modern churches think He would won- der where He was. He would see a service so ornate that it would remind Him of the ancient Temple worship. To this He would not object, for the Temple was the church of His childhood, but He would look to see what message it would bring, and whether or not the heart of true religion again lay dead within that beautiful shell. And sometimes He would find it so. He would hear discus sions of all the phases of modern social prob lems He would hear of trade unionism and of capital and labor. He would hear of cor rupt politics, of segregated districts, of whisky drinking, card playing and dancing. He would hear of Sunday golf and Sunday picture shows. and He would wonder what they were. He would hear of joy rides and flappers and jelly beans and cigarette smol- CTS and blind tigers and bootleggers and chorus girls and the eighteenth amend ment and I am very sure He would wonder what it was all about. He had come to be a Mediator between God and man, to re- veal the God life in terms of human nature. He had come to awaken men to a faith in the Fatherhood of God and to lead them to realization of their brotherhood to each other. He had come to lift mems eyes and hearts and souls from earth and to fix them on the eternal things of God, and He would wonder why His servants spoke continually of the things of earth, and of the meanest. vilest manifestations of earthly life
 It is not that Jesus would condone these offenses. He would hate them as whole 4 TT realize, in His infinite wisdom, that the way to overcome evil is not to dwell continually upon it. He would not have us hold up be- fore His children horrible examples of life, that they may avoid them, but beautiful ex- amples that they may initiate them. He would not have our thoughts overcome with evil suggestion, but He would have us overcome evil with good. He would say that His church should deal more with the glories of heaven than the infamies of earth that we cannot redeem life by smearing it with filth He would say, as St. Paul said, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatso- ever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report, if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things"
 The present task of the church is to re- focus it's attention on the great eternal themes of life. The Ten Commandments were prohibitory in their nature. They were the concrete expression of an earth-bound religion. "Thou shalt not" was their spirit and their soul. Jesus did not wipe them away. He merely went beyond them. "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and soul and mind and strength, and thy neighbor as myself On these two com mandments hang all the law and the pro- phets." When in our preaching and our teaching we get back to the Sermon on the Mount, and spread before our people the vision of God that Jesus lived and died to give us, then, and then only, can we hope to lift Gods children to proper love of Gods life MIDDLETON S.

WALTER MILLER IN CITY

Walter Miller of Tuscumbia, member of the state democratic executive committee for the state at large, and candidate for secretary of state came down to attend Fridays meet ing and remained over yesterday
 "One of the gratifying things about run ming for office" said MT. Miller, lis to find how loyal mans friends can be. New evil dences of it come to me every day as meet voters with whom I have not been previously acquainted. It is a common occurrence for such voters to say, oh, yes; our friend so and so has already spoken to me about you and you can count on me-
 "Such friendship is touching because you know it is sincere. These little acts are done without hope or expectation of reward, but simply because the friends sincerely believe in you and feel that you are qualified for the place you seek"

CONSTRUCTION DEVELOPMENT

Conditions favoring building are going ahead in a most satisfactory manner, and there is every indication that the present sea- son is to be one of great activity in realty, said Robert Jemison, Jr
 "The large distribution of money coming from increased pay rolls at furnaces, steel mills and other manufacturing plants must mean greater prosperity in all lines of trades and industries" MT. Jemison continued.
 Naturally real estate and building opera tions generally have felt, and will contine to renewed activity along almost all lines in this great district. Building sites in the more de- sirable districts of the city are being rapidly bought up and few people realize the rapidity with which desirable residential building prop erty is disappearing from the market.
 "This optimistic feeling is not confined to the industrial district, but extends to the farm good crops, using more fertilizers than last year, and there is evidence at the present time that they will this year harvest big crops. Naturally, I am gratified that Jemson and company have been able in large degree, 10 assist in the rejuvenation of farming condi- tions in the state. As agents, we have been able to place many large loans on Alabama farm lands and it is to the credit of this conn pany that these loans were placed during n period when it was rather difficult to obtain money to advantage for farm loan purposes. This money has done much towards stabilizing conditions in Alabama"

sheriff's deed to the Citizens State
bank, having previously obtained from
Frederickson an assignment of his right
tn redeem as well as all right or title
either in law or equity. On Monday
he was issued a sheriff's certificate
of redemption to the 800 acres and is
10Y in full possession.
The question now arises whether
leases given by Frederickson aud held
by the Van Duzen and Tri City con
tinue to run. or whether they lapse
with the passing of title 10 a third
party. In the event of the latter cen
tention being upheld, ownership of
wells located on the land would be in
dispute and litigation would be certain
to follow. SO far as the Van Duzen
company is concerned. it is understood
that Mr.. Hopka is cooperating with it
and its interests will be protected.
An interesting sidelight is thrown
on the situation by rumors to the eff
feet that Frederickson was ct one time
offered $4,000 for the land and re-
fused 1t. This rumor is not generally
credited. but it is known that he might
have sold a half interest in his royalty
rights for sufficient to cancel the en-
tire indebtedness and thus have pre-
vented foreclosure.

These articles we're written sew
era1 months ago. The latest news
from Russia is that American eff
cheney has triumphed and the back
of the famine is broken. Not only
that. but they have furnished the
survivors with seed and seen to it
that the seed was planted and not
eaten. Therefore, the prospect for
a crop next year is good. 1t is
a great work that Americans have
done in Russia. The men who did
it are brave. They took a chance
that was worse than that of the
soldiers in the French trenches.
A good many have lost their lives
in doing this charity for wretches
too far gone to even feel grateful
for what was done for them-sunk
in the indifference of despair. In
other years and happier times, the
Russian people may come to real
ixe what America did for them.

20 BUSHEL YIELD
IS FORECAST FOR
MILES CITY WHEAT
Harvest in Southwest Portion
Will Start on August
Is Next.
Special to The Tribune.

Miles City, July 16.-Crop conditions
in Custer county. which are believed
to reflect the general condition over
the southeastern part of the state, are
reviewed by c. NJ. Warrington, sec
rotary of the local Farm bureau, in an
interview given out here.
There is no indication of the pres
ence of black rust in the wheat. said
Mr.. Y%errington. 1t is all practically
headed out and is in the dough stage
proceeding toward maturity. which will
be accomplished in about three or four
weeks. The wheat harvest, he said.
promises to be fairly early and to be
in full swing about the middle of Au-
gust. The average yield is expected to
be about 20 bushels to the acre, and
possiblv better in single instances. This
represents a considerable increase over
the average of last year. when the
Weld ran from 3 to 10 bushels an acre.
There has been plenty of rainfall to
carry the crop well along toward ma
turity.
Rye harvesting is just beginning, he
said. and the average yield is expected
TO be from 90 10 % bushels an acre.
The farmers have enjoyed favorable
conditions in respect to this crop. and
while not as large as wheat, is regarded
as being of satisfactory quality.
Corn. he said. is appearing in the
~tassel stage. Special attention is being
given to this crop on account OF the
fact that a large interest has been
created in producing a quality of corn
that will prove to be entirely indig-
enous TO the country and soil. Warm
and moist weather has been favorable
TO make the crop prospects very good
and an excellent outlook in yield Is
prominent.

crop will be late and shows to be

be says. ,
Oats. barley and potatoes are in good
condition and the prospects are for
bumper crops from these three prod
ucts.
Generally. declares Mr.. Yerrington.
the agricultural situation is excellent.
Some damage. slight in character. Is
reported in some sections. but a Wig
orous warfare against the g~rasshopper
pest is resulting in diminishing the
raids of this insect.
Weather conditions continuing favor

perienced in its history. 1t is felt that
with the stand acquired. hot winds VIII
have little effect in reducing the ex-
pected yield.

OVER LAND TITLE

under foreclosure proceedings one year

It had been understood that the Van

were prepared to redeem the land. but

if it had even been made, fell through

and his mortal sickness dropped
from him with his discarded prison
clothes. 1t was charged on the
floor of congress that President
Taft was very bitter against Daugh-
erty and accused him. Of deliberate.
ly deceiving him about the condi.
ton of Morse, and that he used his
friendship with the president to
earn a fee. leaving the president to
suffer public condemnation wher
they learned Of the pardon with
no apparent good cause.
Now, we don't know whether
these charges are true or not true
but we submit that they bear a very
different complexion from the hall
facts submitted by the Leader to
its readers. 1t is one thing to sell
legal services and quite another
thing to sell political influence
with a friend, deceiving the friend
to his hurt at the same time. There
is a lot more to the charges agains,
Daugherty. He is charged with
completely in political boodling
Morse has again got into trouble
with the law and the attorney gen.
eral is charged with laxness ir
prosecuting his former client. May.
be, there is truth in some, or all OF
these charges, and maybe there is
not. At any rate, we submit that
the charges are very different from
the simple one stated by the Leader
which is well calculated to deceive
its readers, as Taft was deceived
about the dying condition of the
Wall Street swindler when he par.
doned him at Daugherty's sugges.
tion-to the financial profit OF
Daugherty and to his own political
damage.

WOUNDED HUSBAND
WHO WAS BEATING

Grass Range Man Held at Lew.
istown on Charge of
Shooting.
Special to The Tribune.

Special to The Tribune.
Lewistown, July 16.-She-if: Billy
Woods came in from Grass Range Sat
urday with Leslie Finkbeiner, aged 10.
charged with shooting Percy stoner on
Friday evening. The youth gave the
first detailed account of the trouble
that has been heard here, Stoner being
in no condition to explain at all. Young
Finkbeiner says he was visiting at the
Stoner ranch, as he frequently did.
and was in the house resting at $50
p. m. when he heard a disturbance in
the yard, and. going out, he says, found
Stoner beating his wife. He tried to
pull Stoner from the woman. but could
not and ran into the house. getting
Stoner's shotgun and coming out.
Stoner, however, had gone into the
Finkbeiner out and struck him with a
rock. Finkbeiner says he told Stoner
to stop and as the latter came on, the
youth fired a shot over his head. At
this, he says, Stoner turned sideways
and made a rush for Finkbeiner. who
shot at him, q charge of No. 4 shot
entering the big muscle just below the
shoulder. Stoner dropped and Fink
beiner ran up to him to see if he could
help the wounded man. He asked him
what he could do and for answer. he
alleges, Stoner raised up and kicked
him in the stomach.
Mrs. Stoner had got the car started
by this time and was going TO the
Ryan place, a mile away. to make
charges against her husband, and Fink
beiner got in the car.
AS they started, he says. Stoner got
up and undertook to load the gun and
fire at them. but his children were pull
ing at him and prevented this. At the
time, young Finkbeiner was suffering
from an infected knee and Sunday he
was in such condition that he was taken
to the same hospital where Stoner is
being treated. The latter spent a good
day, but it will be another day or two
before it is known just how serious his
wound is going to prove. The justice
of the peace of Grass Range fixed
Finkbeiner's bond at $1,000.
