SERM N
BY Rev. Paul Gardner.

Increased home building by more than
1000 a month Over 1919. Sent throngs
Of boys and girls to high school and
colleges by eliminating the liquor
drain from the purse. Added 5000
new members daily to our churches.
Prohibition was not unaided In Great
ing these benefits, but only a sober
thrifty and Industrious country could
have wrought these things.
The pitiable spectacle Govo. Smith
OF New York has made of himself and
the bitter disappointment that must be
his as the rising tide gaainst nullid-
cation oil the 18th Amendment and
the increasing demand for Its enforce
ment all assure us that the American
people are more strongly in favor thar
ever before of MAKING THE EIGHT
ZENITH AMENDMENT THE MOST
POPULAR AMENDMENT EVER ADD
ED TO THE AMERICAN CONSTR
TUITION.
To be sure spirituality is at low ebb
in the churches. The modernist and
fundamentalist are In combat. yet this
is no time to allow unbelief and
worldliness to prevail. God is not
dead, Christ still lives and the oily
Spirit is at hand. Unbelief Is n yer
constructive, always destructive. II
never built a college, a hospital, an
orphanage, an asylum for the o sed
and needy. 1t never spoke a hel fui
word to the troubled. a word OF C N
fort to the sorrowing. 1t never sing
a song at the open grave. The hd' ian
race can not be satisfied with the
husks of modernism and infidelit. In
whatever form 1t appears. The fos-
pei of Jesus faithfully preached, md
honestly lived cannot be gainsaid. rhe
human heart tires Of trash and she Idly
and though a generation may perish
beneath the waves of skepticism : ow
sweeping the land yet will the old
truths of salvation in Jesus live.
Isnis is the time we need faith % sh-
ed by heroic labor and sacrifice. TX
the talent has been hidden now Is he
time when 1t should be put to the sx-
change. The fight is on. The fear
ful and unbelieving and wishy-washy
and weakened and spineless, favor
loving will not come up to b help OF
the Lord until stirred by some mighty
tidal wave OF Salvation.
True lethargy and indifference a
dry rot and mildew mark and blight
many a church member. yet there are
many who vitality awake to the perfis

in home. in office, In store and on the
farm, are to be found valient defend.
ers of the faith. Their faith shall be
rewarded and God will visit his people
in mighty copious showers OF re-
freshing, saving power.
Friends. the future is as bright as
the promises Of God. Will you put
ON the whole armor and follow the
Leader ON to glorious victory? Keep
Jour eyes on Zion. God is about TO
visit her and her glory will appear.

GIVE HOGS PLENTY OF
BEDDING WHEN SHIPPING

Brookings, s. D.. Jan. 24.EThe i'm
portance Of low grade hay or straw
bedding when shipping hogs during
periods of extreme cold weather was
very forcibly illustrated in the in
creased number of hogs arriving dead
at the Sioux City market during the
week ending January s. when severe
cold weather prevailed. according to
advices just received by State College
livestock specialists from the federal
livestock market supervisor at Sioux
City.
The percentage Of deads received
during that week vas approximately
six times greater than during the pre-
ceding week, when the temperature
was mild.
Adequately bedded cars arriving
during the week of extremely cold
weather showed but little, IL any de-
crease In the percentage OF deads as
compared with normal receipts.

wATCHMAN, WHAT OF THE NIGHT

To many II seems that the night is
upon us. The present and the future
look dark. immortality and crime
are rampant. Adversely and loss and
failure are everywhere. Virtue Is
discounted and vice honored. Despair
and encouragement prevail when
hope should abound. The Waterman
upon the walls hears the p~iaintive cry
"watchman, what of the night" What
is the answer? / think ! hear him
say, "The night breaketh. The day
Gas ms. Have faith"
This is no time to haul down the
banner, to bury the talent, to cease
the struggle. To be sure many are
bankrupt and many banks are fail
ing and business staggers. But tie
every fact Is reason why no man
| should shrink and none be fear strick
! en- and stampeded. The South Dako
Ia Development Association sends on:
an appeal to pastors asking them TO
! preach a gospel Of faith. calling at
tention to South Dakota's resources
and her 1923 agricultural wealth a.
mounting to more than $4O0, 900 600
! Many millions above that of last year.
But men lack faith, It says, and with
holds the dollar from it's sphere of
usefulness. II says II each man could
be persuaded to pay but $500 on each
account, believe not rumors that We
would have 10 more Wild runs or
banis or panics in South Dakota IL
1924.
True, the fight is on against law and
sepe cially against the Volstead Law
and there Is danger that the victory
won by tears and prayers and blood
may be annulled. But let US now
after but four short years of it's enact
ment believe hat the American peo-
pie are too sensible to disregard tho
untold benefits and wallow again In
the mire of former days. The words
of Wayne b. Wheeler Of washington

Donald McCullen and his crew
of ice h~arvesters have been very
busy this week filling the Crystal
Lake Company's houses with next
summers ice supply. This is the
first time for several years that
they have been able to get suffi-
cient ice from one cutting, due
to the extremely cold weather
which froze the ice to a thickness
of twenty inches.

CHILDREN BENEFITED
BY HEALTH CONFERENCES
Experience Of A Little Girl Who
Was Made Well Due To
Timely Advice

A little four year old who wa:
brought recently, to one of the chile
health conferences held by the Bureau
of Child Hygiene of the State De
partment of Health, will have every
reason to look back upon it as a rec
letter occasion. She watched the 9th
er children with keen, bright-eyed in
terest, but when her turn came to b.
weighed and examined, she apparent
ly paid no attention to her mothers
"Come on, Honey, the doctor is ready
for you, now" But when her mother
took hold of her hand, she turned
smilingly and took her place in front
of the doctor. When the examination
was finished, the words "deaf, due
possibly to bad tonsils and adenoids,
stood out on record sheets.
A few days later, following the ad
vice of the doctor, the mother and the
little girl went to see a throat ant
ear specialist. Then there was brief
stay at hospital, where the bad ton
sis were removed, and along with
them a mass of adenoids that were
pressing closely against the ear, ane
that were responsible for the "bac
hearing" Now, she is running arounc
again, and with as good hearing as
any of her little playmates have.
Child health conferences where ba.
bies and their older sisters and broth.
ers are given careful physical ex.
animation, and VIII ere mothers are
taught how to keep their children
well, are held regularly each month
in twenty-nine centers in twelve OF
the twenty-three counties of the State
Since the first of June, over 1900
children under seven years old have
been brought to these conferences fol
a thorough going over. If medical OF
surgical treatments were required
the mother was referred to her owr
physician.
Since it has been shown that chill
dren who are kept under medical SUI.
pervision have fewer illnessness ane
are healthier than those who see the
doctor when they are acutely ill, the
Bureau of Child Hygiene advises
mothers who are interested in keep
ing their children we'll, to take then
regularly, to their own doctor or tt
the nearest child Health conference
for such supervision and advice. Thu
following intervals are suggested:
Children under one year-once {
month.
Those from one to two years-every
six months.
Those over two years-at least once
a year.

seor. Hit With operetia

Pupils of Tourtellotte Memorial High school appeared before the foot lights in the school hall last Friday evening and delighted a large audi eace with the presentation of the operetta, Princess Chrysanthemum." !" Those who witnessed the perform ance haven't stopped yet yoicing their praise and giving their unstinted praise for everyone who had a part in the entertainment.
 The operetta needs q large cast. It had it. To achieve perfection, the cast must have frequent, thorough and capable training. It had them. To "set off" the play and give it that touch 50 necessary to create the pre- per atmosphere, there must be at- tractive and appropriate stage set tir gs and costumes. These were fea- tn. ss of the performance. And the accompaniments must be exeellently and intelligently rendered. These were given in heaping measure both by piano and orchestration. In 8 word, the entertainment was "im- mense" and the young people scored
