NEEDED-A REVIVAL
Rev. Paul Gardner, Pastor

The prophet Habakkuk said, Il will
stand upon my watch, and set me
upon the tower, and will watch to
see what he will say unto me, and
what | shall answer when / am re-
proved" God spake to him. (Hab. 81.
The displeasure and wrath of Jeho-
yah was revealed. Sins, then as now
dominant, were denounced. The woes
of God were pronounced against them.
The prophet was not a fool. He nei-
Their denied nor ignored the warning.
With him moral %retribution was swift
and sure. He saw the justices of il.
He argued not with God He did not
tell him hat he was too good to do
such things. He did not tell him that
his people were too good to be punish
ed thus. He was neither too proud
nor too insensible ro be moved with
fear. All he could 60 was to throw
himself on Gods mercy and pray, 20
Lord, / have heard thy speech, and
was afraid; o Lord, revive thy work
in the midst of the years, in the midst
of the years make known: in wrath
remember mercy" Hab. 3D..
Why not a religious revival? Re-
vivals in education, in politics in bust
ness, in reforms, in pleasures, etc, etc
Nature furnishes examples of the
same True, they are not always des-
ignated as revivals but the terms used
to denote the increased interests in
these different movements do not
change the underlying fact of revi-
we'd motives, activity and interests.
Just why good and sensible people
should always cast aspersions upon
revivals in religious methods, motives
and activities, regarding them as
spasms, hysteria, fanaticisms, etc, /
have never been able to understand
Those same people will be found
among the foremost advocates Of re-
vivals in lodge, in community inter-
ests, business. politics, etc. If they
should answer. Because of the un-
satisfactory results of religious revi-
walls, the reaction, the slump that
usually follow, etc" ! would challenge
them to show that such effects follow
religious revivals more than they do
any other revival. Ask the Republi-
cans what was the result following the
revival of Democracy that put the
Democrats in power for eight years
and the answer would be, "Indescri-
badly terrible. The country was
nearly ruined" Ask the Democrats
what was the res alt OF the revival
that caused the landslide and put the
Republicans i'm power and they would
point to present conditions and say,
Can you beat it?" Any rising tide
has it's back-wash. 1t recedes always,
somewhat leaving a few disagreeable
effects in it's ebb. Nevertheless tides
are a necessity. Politics, business,
fraternities, etc, must needs be revi-
we'd else stagnatibn and decay would
follow.

PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Rev. r. j. SimOns, Minister

From the standpoint of attendance
and spirit the services of last Sunday
were an unqualified success. The at
tendance on the Schools was much
better than of late. The weekday BIZ
BILE school started off last Thursday
in a fine way, especially considering
that we had to make IN adjustment
at the last moment in the number of
classes. We were not disappointed I'm
the ~StereOpticon lecture of the eve
ming nor in the houseful of people
that viewed the pictures OF the Red
Men being transformed into Nobility.
Next Sunday the minister Is going
to preach on The most human event
in the life of Jesus. The Adult choir
will exercise The Divine Art.
At six thirty the Christian Endea-
vor Society will meet. Last Sunday
evening the attendance was a record
breaker. 1t should presage such an
n next Sunday evening.
At the evening preaching hour the
minister will respond to an invitation
of the w. c. T. U. and speak on A
Sober and Sane New World. The Jun
ior choir will have some temperance
music Of its own and will lead the
audience in the temperance hymns
it well knows
The Schools of the church-the SUM-
day SchcOls-will meet at the usual
hour. Their sessions are the climax of
the Weekday Bible School The latter
can only be an unqualified success IL
the prompting of the Sunday Schools
is added to It.
Here Is an unqualified invitation to
attend all OF our public services.

til nearly dark, There were many
beautiful as well as useful articles

EASTERN BANKERS
see PROSPERITY
Express Faith That Easier Times and
Prosperity Are on The Way

Aberdeen News-Faith in South Da-
kota remains mistaken in the east,
according to two visitors to this city
during the week men who control
millions of farm mortgage loans in
this state and North Dakota.
They expressed themselves firmly
that farmers will come safely through
to easier times and substantial pros
perity in due course.
Encouragement now is fatal, ac-
cording to these men of the east.
Levi p. Smith and w. ID. Howe, Off
GERS of the Burlington Savings Bank,
Burlington, VT, were here during the
week visiting their local representa-
tives, Brown Bros, State Bank &
Trust Co. One of the gentlemen is
also on the board of directors of a big
eastern life insurance company which
has loaned multiplied millions in the
two Dakotas.
While here they went into the farm
ing situation thoroughly and ex-
pressed the greatest confidence in the
state and the farming industry. They
looked at the matter i'm a broad way
as basic in the existence Of the nation
and declared themselves to be assured
that out of the temporary slump tits
region and the industry of farming
would emerge more firmly established
and more prosperous than ever.
Coming from men of such connec-
ton and far eastern viewpoint, these
opinions are Of the utmost importance
to South Dakota.
They declared that tins is no time
to give up the ship but the time OF
all others for standing by the oars
to pull through. Assurance OF cooper
alton was given on their part to the
uttermOst.
The most serious mistake of the
times, they regarded, to be the leav-
ing the land because they deem it
to cine into its own again.

Royal Johnson Says He Is Not A

In a statement to the Aberdeen
Journal concerning his candidacy for
Senator, which rumor was published
in the Huronite and widely copied.
Royal G. Johnson emphatIcalIy denies
having made any announcement to
this effect.
said Mr.. johnson, "of candidacy for

many different people the senatorial

hesitated to say it would be a great
honor and pleasure to serve in the
United States senate A sentiment,

Such expressions, often repeated.

have been construed by any newspa-
per as an announcement OF candi-
dacy.

been elected to represent the End dis
trict of the State of South Dakota In
the House of Representatives for five
successive terms and the opportunity
to serve the state which important
assignments afford.

the welfare or ambitions of indivi-

IaO.I6 AUTO LICESES HAVE
BEEN SOLD UPTODATE

Pierre, Oct. 30.-The state automo-
bile department reports a strong de-
mand for automobile license numbers,
the total for autos having gone up to
0,165 to date. This is so far be-
yond the estimated demand for this
year that over half the counties have
run out of the allotments made to
them at the e~ginningo [ the year. The
demand for new numbers, which gem
falls off at the approach OF
winter. does not appear to effect the
situation this year. and the call keeps
up to that Of other seasons of the year.
