TEC[MSEH TRIBE STARTS CAMP PAIGN
Red Men Seek To Double Membership Tn
 State

A membership drive for at least 150 candidates for initiation has been started by Tecumseh tribe, No. 21, Im- proved Order of Red Men, and rival teams headed by Great Sachem Whaley and Past Grand Sachem M. D. Freid- man, respectively, have taken the field to secure the scalps and wampum of the 'palefaces."
 This is in accordance with the plan of Great Sachem Whaley to double the membership of the order throughout the state within the next 12 months. Tecumseh tribe, one of the oldest in the state, and standby for many years of the great council, has taken the ini- tiative to bring about the desired re- suits.
 The great sachem is a member of Tecumseh tribe, and is an active worker for the order. He declares that he will snow his rival chief, Friedman, under in the campaign. NJ. D. Friedman has been consistent and persistent worker for the Red Men for many years, and IS seasoned campaigner and expects to add another leaf to his crown of laurels before the campaign is over.
 The big initiation is scheduled for July 8, and the time limit for receiving petitions for the July class has been set for June "A. sThs was decided at the regular meeting of the tride held last Tuesday, when the team chiefs were selected and the plan of campaign outlined.

CHARTA DAY
 WILL BE, HONORED
President Coolidge Is Member
 Of The Association

ST. PAUL, Minn.-Magna Charta Day, June 15, will be honored through out the English speaking world. de- clares J. W. Hamilton, secretary Inter national Magma Charta Day association, of this city.
 On June 15, 1915, the English barons at Runnymede, compelled the infamous King John to sign the great charter. There were present 2,0O0 knights or barons with their supporters. The char ter, in which were first formulated the principles that became the foundation of constitutional government, contained 63 definite provisions.
 The right of the King to levy taxes and make war was limited, the person and property of freemen were safeguard ed, the liberty and independence of the church was declared inviolate, and other principles of Anglo-American liberty were carefully fixed.
 There are striking parallels between the phrasing of Magma Charta and the language of the Constitution of the United States.
 At Runnymede, in England, a special service will be held at which addresses will be given by the Right Hon. J. H. Whitley, speaker of the House of Com mons, and the Marquis of Lincolnshire.
 President Coolidge is honorary presi- dent of the International Magma Charta Day association, and among the honor ary officers are Rt. Hon. Sir James Craig, prime minister of Ulster; Rt. Hon. Sir Horace Plunkett of the Irish Free State, Dr. Wilfred R. Grenfell and other we'll known statesmen and pub licists.

TOday's Bible Talk
By GEORGE LEWIS BALES

peared on earth up to that time, he called his secretary of state to the throne room and directed him to dictate decree. That decree issues 537 B. C., ranks now after two thousand, four hundred years, among the greatest state papers lever struck off at given time by the brain and purpose of man. But the force behind that document was rather the purpose of God.
 That instrument as written on piece of lambs skin and to which was attached a great wad of wax upon which was impressed the stamp of the massive signet ring of Cyrus, said
 Thus saith Cyrus, king Of Fersla' "The Lord, the God of heaven, has given me all the kingdoms of the earth and he has commanded me to build him house in Jerusalem, in the land of Judah. Therefore, let those of the people of God who are among you go up to Jersalem, and help to build the house of the Lord. And those who do not go to Jerusalem, but stay in the places where they are diving, let them give to those who go back to their own land gifts of gold and silver, and beasts to carry them, and goods, and also a free gift toward the building of the house of the Lord in Jerusalem" No wonder the captive Jews were happy. It was very like the armistice. They began to make ready to go home. Every task and drudgery was now just play. The world took on a rose-col- ored hue.
 The great majority of those who had been brought from home 70 years be- fore had died. But the second genera tion, from the cradle, had been brought up on the stories and accounts of the glories of the fatherland, Gods coun- try.
 After the kings decree was publish ed, children laughed and played with a new zest. The grown-ups found that a song had been born in their souls al- most unawares. Some one reduced that song to writing and it has come down through the ages as the 126th psalm:
 "When the Lord turned again the cap-
 tivity of Zion, We are like unto them that dream, Then was our mouth filled with laugh
 ter,
 And our tongue with singing: Then said they among the nations,
 The Lord hath done great things for them,
 The Lord hath done great things for us;
 Whereof we are glad.
 Turn again our captivity, o Lord,
 As the streams in the south. They that SOW in tears
 Shall reap in joy. 1 Though he goeth on his vav veenino
 Bearing forth the seed,
 He shall come again with joy, Bringing his sheaves with him."
 What must have been their thrill when the 42,000 of them returning home, group by group, approached the border of the homeland! When they sighted Mt. Nebo, it must have been like the sight of the Statue of Liberty to the American doughboy returning from France after the armistice.
