ness the Prophet heard the insistent
query, What doest thou here?" He
must make an answer but his earliest
attempts are excuses and the voicing
of self-pity. Self is large and other
folk are failures and he had every
reason for coming where he was. He
had been very jealous for Jehovah
while the people had thrown down His
alters, slain the prophets with the
sword until only himself remained
and they were seeking his life to take
it away. He was bitter and sour on
the whole business. Everybody was
to blame but himself. There was only
one good man left in all the world.
1t would be amusing if it were not so
tragic and so common. But the hills
held him to their heart until the hush
of God stole over his spirit and he
could hear some other speech than
his own whining.
THE MESSAGE OF THE HILLS.
There burst a terrific storm among
the peaks that lowered above the cav
ern where he was hiding, Rocks were
tossed like pebbles in the blast and
dust swilled through the ravineA The
grinding groans of slipping strata
beneath his feet seemed, to threaten
the very foundations of the noun
tains and mingled their clamor with
the crash of falling boulders and
trembling cliffs. To add to the con-
fusion and terror of it all, great flash
es of flame played about the SUBMITS
of the hills and leaped across great
chasms tipping their mighty lips with
lambert light. Nature seemed in her
maddest mood of destructivenes and
as it beat about the Prophet he sud-
denly saw a picture of himself work
ing in the world of men. The uproar
ceased and the hills stood calm and
unmoved by it all Such a stiffness
swept over the whole scene that it
could be nothing less than the speak
ing voice of Jehovah and Elijah fell
upon his face with his soul ringing
with its message. After all it was
his method only that failed. God still
lived and His cause stood fast and
out of all the rage Of human passion
there was surely coming Jehova's ul-
innate triumph. He had found again
his discarded sword and was ready

to the visitors the method used in
engendering interest in better
dairying in Blue Earth county
through the local unit.
He explained that at this time
there are six local Holstein units

it is through the small neighbor
hood meetings that much of the ap-
parent interest in this county has
been brought about. He explained
that the idea was not original in
this county but that following the
lead of one the most progressive
counties in Wisconsin the plan had
been put in operation with telling
results. He related some of the
trials encountered in putting over
the first gatherings of local ma
ture but said that in every case the
followup meetings were well at
tended until at this time they are
among the most popular meetings
of any of the communities in which
they are held. At this time there
are more than 300 members in the
six units of Blue Earth county.
Mr.. NARROW thanked all the bus
mess men of this county for the
cooperation with the Hoistein men
