Tells of Interest in Religion.
Eleventh. l have saved for the last
my bequest for religious education.
While / have devoted a large part of
my time to the st"@y and discussion of
political questions and have found an
a hYt
adopted with my humble aid, I feel
more interested III religion than in
politics because religion is the only
influence that can control the heart
"out OF which are the issues of life
Next to religion / am most interested
in education because education can
and should increase ones capacity for
service. But education will not be
benefit to its possessor and a bless
ing to society unless Il is wisely used.

idea and serve as model. Fearing
that | shall not be able to carry out
this plan during the years that re

to each child's share in my estate.
After taking out the bequest to my
wife and other bequests / desire to
divide the remainder in four equal
parts. One part, as l have provided
above, shall go to each Of NV three
children, the fourth part less $50. 900.

Nebraska home, known as Fairview,
to the Methodist Church for a hos
pital / feel that it's value. conserva-
lively estimated at $4,000, should be
deducted from the one fourth set apart
for Christian education and divided
equally between my three children
and my wife.
Wants Church School.
The amount. left for this pur-
poSe-I estimate at about $50 600
500 600 less the $4,000 deduction
aforementioned, l would like to have
II used TO establish an academy for
boys which shall be under the control
of some unit of government of some
evangelical church, Presbyterian pre-
ferred, but not absolutely necessary,
SO that it can be controlled by
