Representative of Interna.
tiOnal Bible Students AS
sOciatiOn to Speak

Many have wondered why so many
Inventions, labOr-saving devices and
other cOnveniences have been thrust
upon us SO rapidly during the past
few decades. The penalty against
the race was "Dying thou shalt die;
for mankind has been eking out an
existence amidst laborious toll and
hardships while man is dying crea-
ture.
Mans hope Of life lies in the res.
direction of the dead. If it has
been necessary to earn ones bread
through, efforts causing "sweat Of
face" may we not conclude that la
bor-saving machinery is the fore
runner Of a-time when man will not
be a dying creature? And as new
government under Christ is prom
ised, may not the casting up of road
ways to facilitate the travelling of
automobiles suggest the laying of
the foundation Of better govern
ment in which will be cast up the
highway to life upon which human
ity shall be invited to walk?
The past six thousand years have
been years of death and its con-
comitants. But the Bible speaks
over and over again of "way to
life," "a highway of life," and of a
new and living way" This implies
the reversal Of the present order.
II it were established beyond cavil
by indisputable Bible. evidence that
the millions who have gone down
into the graves during all the past
of mans history were coming back
to life during the thousand-year
reign of Christ-some to heavenly
glory but the masses of mankind to
the promised paradisaic conditions
when humanity will have the privi-
lege Of being restored to health and
happiness and life-what a thrill
should stir the hearts of the present
generation!

Hinckley Will
Hearing Postponed

Further action in the A. C. Hinck-
ley will contest has been postponed
until Monday. following an all-day
session in County Judge I. c. Davies
court here yesterday. The hearings
were to have been continued today
but illness of one of the attorneys
interested in the case caused the
postponement.
Mrs. Nellie Hinckley, the widow
is contesting the will on the ground
that her husband was incompetent al
the time the document was drawn
up and that he was unduly influenc-
ed. The will bequeathed only the
homestead in Bismarck to her. A
bequest of $1,000 was made to q
niece and to a nephew of Mr.. Hinck-
ley and the balance of the estate
under the terms Of the will, is to ga
to two daughters Of Mr.. Hinckley by
former marriage.
Arthur Van Horn was named in the
will as executor and the hearing is
the result of his petition to have
such appointment confirmed by the
court.

COULTER WILL
DENY ANY PART
IN NYE FIGHT
Board Of Administration
Grants Coulter Permission
to Issue Statement

DR.. John Lee Coulter, president
Of the state agricultural college at
Fargo, has been authorized by the
state board of administration to
deny that he has taken any part in
the fight for or against the seating
of Gerald +. Nye as senator from
North Dakota.
Coulter's request followed publica-
tiOn in recent issue Of the "Non-
partisan" official newspaper Of the
NOnpartisan League, of an article
which strongly intimated that Coul-
ter had added his influence to the
organization opposed to seating Nye.
Since the state board of administra-
tion controls the agricultural college
along with all other state education
al institutions, Coulter asked it's con-
sent before issuing a public denial.
Says Situation Changed After Coult-
tef's Visit.
In it's article the Nonpartisan al
legged that shortly after a visit by
Coulter to the White House the stu
alton with regard to seating Nye
turned strongly against the North
Dakota man, whereas it previously
had been somewhat favorable. 1t
was strongly intimated that Coulter
visited Washington as the emissary
Of The North Dakota Republican
faction which is opposing approval
of Nye's credentials as senator.
In his letter to the board Of ad-
ministration Coulter asked permis-
sion to make his denial to the edi-
tor Of the Nonpartisan and attached
copy of the statement which he
proposed to make. The copy will be
returned to him together with per-
mission to make it public, r. B Muir
ply, chairman of the board, says.
