The RlRIE.

In the early part Of the Fifteenth
Century it was very difficult to get
copy Of the Bible, except in man
uscript, and this often cost as much
as two hundred dollars. SO the
masses of the people we're obliged
to rent a manuscript and pay for
it by the hour. is on record that
the price fixed for this rental was
load of hay for is use one hour
q day. An eloquent testimonial as
to the eagcrness Of the people to
obtain the Scriptures and the sacri-
flee they willingly made so to do.
Today when Bibles arc BY COM
parison plentiful, there is so little
interest taken in the Book that those
who have it in their homes would
hardly read it an hour a day for a
load Of hay.

A TRIP THRU THE COUNTRY

Mr. and Mrs. F.. w. Thorndike
motored up from Big Stone the first
Of the week and took the editor and
his best lady friend few miles out
in the country to see what nature was
doing with these broad fields in Grant
county Just about this time. She
certainly is making a picture Of it.
and stoll or drive out from Mil
bank in any direction will convince
the most skeptical of this. And be-
sides the beauty Of the picture that
appeals to the eye, the splendid show
ingthe fields are making Of promis-
ed harvest is something that no one
can ignore, and adds to the enchant-
ment of the scene For while it is
too early to make predictions for the
seasons crop, it is certainly an en-
couraging sign to know that the
growing things have a good healthy
start. The winter rye in places Is
already "knee-high", and is waving in
the wind and as heavy as you would
want to see it on the ground. All
the indications are that Grant county
Is going to do her prettiest this year
for the farmer who is keeping her
company.

governor ADDRESSES
STATE S. S. CONVENTION

At the annual meeting of the state
Sunday School convention at Huron
last week, Governor McMaster made
a heartening address.
"The Sunday School is the great
est institution in America" emphati-
cally declared the Governor before
over 1900 people at Huron. From the
first ovation given the governor to the
end when his last utterance was given
a round of applause, the speech and
the speeker seemed to catch the eye
and ear Of the large audience. Many
statements were puncuated by sharp
cries Of approval. Among other
things the Governor said were: GA
mong reforms. Prohibition has come
to stav." "The modern Church is not
losing its influence but is more than
holding it's place against Money and
Lawles sness."s "Make the Bible
practical to the boy and girl. Don't
let them think the penny that they
give is merely gift to the Lord but
is simply paying their way for the
blessing they are receiving" "Service
and responsibility are the two great
est marks of the Sunday School. ;
After paying fine tribute to the
spiritual history of the United States,
the Governor declared that '"There
is no history without conviction and
the teacher must have deep convic-
tion at all times. Service was shown
to he q part Of the Church's teaching
and the Sunday School the fountain
head from which flows social justice.
Governor McMaster closed his adj
dress with beautiful appeal to the
youth and the teachers Of youth to
reverence motherhood.
Aberdeen was chosen for the con-
vention next year.

CREAMERIES vs.. STATIONS

Cooperative creameries paid an
average price during 1921 of from Z
TO 10 cents more than was paid by
cream stations, according to A. J. Nc
Guire, dairy extension specialist Of
Minnesota University Farm.
1T is estimated that farmers of
Minnesota received $50 a year more
per COW for the last five years be-
cause they have 600 cooperatiy e
creameries in the state than they
would have received had there been
no such creameries," says Mr.. Nc
Guire.
"As matter OF fact, tile poorest
cooperative creameries pay as we'll
as the best cream stations. Three
conditions are necessary to make a
cooperative creamery of the first class
namely, a sufficient amount of busi-
ness, q good business management,
and good cream"

MARVIN MONITOR NOTES>

A prairie fire broke ont on the hig
ranch south of Marvin Friday and a
call was sent to Marvin for help to
fight fire. Nearly everybody that
could get away went out and in 4
few hours had it under control.
About hundred people were out
fighting fire. About 200 acres were
burned off.
Marvin is to have new bank in
the near future according to the re~
ports now out. The Security bank
Of Webster seems to be involved in
the new corporation, which ought to
give US good strong bank here. The
Security bank of Webster is one Of
the strongest banks in the state, and
has over million dollars deposits.
The charter has been granted by the
state to start May first or as soon
thereafter as the incorporates find
it convenient.
The barn on the A. M. Houck farm
five miles southwest of Marvin was
burned to the ground Sunday. Chas.
j. johnson has been living on the
place this summer and the only way
they could account for the fire is that
some of the smaller children must
have got hold of some matches and
were playing with them in the barn.
Six head Of cattle, wagon, harnesses
and some grain, belonging to Mr..
Johnson, were burned.

LUTHERAN BODY
Grew RAPIDLY
Beginning With 12 Congregations
IS Years Ago, It Now Num-
bers 1900 Pulpits.
METHODS NOT SENSATIONAL
Has Carried Gospel into Forty seven
States and Twelve Foreign Coun.
tries by Plain Preachino-Ex-
tensive institutional Work.

On April 26, 1917, twelve ministers
of the Gospel gathered in Chicago at
a meeting which was destined to mark
the beginning Of one of the most re-
markable movements In the history
Of the Christian Church in the United
States, and formed what Is now known
as the Evangelical Lutheran Synod OF
Missouri, Ohio and other states, the
church-body which this year celebrates
its seventy-fifth anniversary.
During the three-quarters OF a cen
tury which have passed since DR.. C. F.
w. Walther, the consecrated leader
of the Saxon immigrants in Missouri,
assumed the presidency Of this
Synod, this church body has ex.
perienced growth that Is nothing
short Of phenomenal. Its pastors have
increased from the original twelve to
1890; its congregations from the six
teen that were represented in Chicago
on the day of organization to $500
with 1,OOO additional preaching sta.
tions. Its membership embraces more
than one million souls in all parts OF
the United States and Canada, and
together with other Synods affiliated
in the Synodical Conference 1t forms
the largest Lutheran church body in
the world
The secret OF this growth Is to be
found in the fact that from the very
beginning this church was determined
to accept the great missionary chal-
lenge that came from the unchurched
masses in this country. With sacri.
fees almost unknown in these days,
blazed the trail for the Gospel through
the West long before the railroads
pushed their way across the prairies
They entered the cities and towns OF
the East and besides founding mis-.
sions that today are large and -four
ishing congregations they established
Christian day schools for children.
where in addition to the instruction in
the elementary branches, the Bible
and the principles Of Christianity were
given prominence.
Home Missions
Since the trials and struggles Of
those pioneer days this home mission
AIRY effort has increased to such an
extent that with the exception OF
South Carolira every state In the
Union Is represented Ia the home mis-
sion field Of this church. From Maine,
where the determined members OF the
