The Power of Personality

,xJohn, i.42-"He brought him to
esus."
1.-THE world cannot be saved by a
blAok. Again, 1t cannot be saved
through an institution. We must
have the great Book as Gods reve.
lation to man. We must have the in.
stitution, the church, as a place or
medium for the transmission of his
gifts. but all these need the interpre-
ter, the exponent of their efficacy. In
every condition of life we are depend
ent upon personality as the revealing
factor. Jacob Riis once spoke of sal.
Arnold maintained, What attaches
people to us is the spirit we are of
not the machinery we employ" The
power of the Christian religion resides
in the personality of Christ. He Is
at once, it's founder and it's interpreter
He 1t is who illuminates the Book and
inspires the Church. Subtract his
personality with its reviyifying power
from the Book and the Church, and
the one becomes piece of refined
literature and the other a human
mechanism with little power Of appeal
One sometimes wonders whether we
have not placed too much emphasis
upon the beauty and richness of the
BOOK, or given too much heed to meth.
DDS and agencies. In the great vision
of Isaiah. he declared, II saw the Lord
high and lifted up, and his train filled
the temple" In vision the mighty
seer seemed as in the presence of a
transcendent and glorified personality
When Jesus would tell men Of the
high purpose of His advent he said
GOD so loved the world that He gave
His only begotten SON."
Power i'm Jesus Christ.
The power of His ministry with His
disciples. indeed the power that made
1t growing force in the early cen.
turies of the Christian era, resided in
Himself. Men caught fire from Him.
They felt the enklndling touch of His
divine life, and the one absorbing pur-
pose of His disciples was to carry to
others the experience they had en-.
joyed. Everything about their minis.
try focused in Him. When Andrew
felt the winsomeness OF his call to
disciplehood, he Immediately sought
out his stalwart brother, Peter. and in
haste brought him to Jesus. The
same thing was true of Philip, another
disciple, who found Nathaniel al
presented him to Christ.
Wherever and whenever the great
Book has been used as a medium to
interpret Him, and wherever the
Christian Church has subordinated all
its machinery that He might he lifted

Wilson'S own defense of his unCom-

to those who came in contact with
him. Several Democratic Senators for
whom Mr.. Wilson had great esteem
besought him TO accept some of the
so-called Lodge reservations to the
covenant as the price Of Senate rati-
ficatton. The President listened with
patience. Then he replied:
Gentlemen, the opposition with
which we are dealing is not sincere

600 investment to stock the ranches
with hogs, cattle and sheep, and
would start out to bond for such, he
would sure be taken out and shut up
as an incurable in some mad house.
In the meetings of the officers and
the general elections, with their at
torneys on hand to see that every
thing goes their way, l have to see
for the first time the least attention
paid to any rancher that was not of
the fold. Once when one tried to
make his troubles known. he was TAX
en- to task at once and called "a damn
liar" time after time by an officer,
while the chairman sat calmly by and
approved of it all.
At all the meetings, who receives
pay? Who pays it? For What? No
thing!
They have slippery tongued orat-
ors at nearly every meeting, telling
the people of the wondrous sugar in
dustry; n saying that the beets
took nothing from the ground and
that the only change that entered in
to their composition was water and
sunshine! In about three years of
such work, what would the land be
worth?
As to the sugar industry: what if
radio should send a wire over the
country saying that Congress had put
sugar on the free list? In six months
there would not be a sugar beet fac
tory running in the United States; all
the beet machinery would be thrown
into the fence corners, with most of
the real value of your land absorbed
by the sugar sunshine.
With such a thing as this possible,
why not stay with the stock bust
ness? The business that appeals to
the real man, and always brings a
reasonable return.
In the last election meeting the
question came up as to who should be
responsible for the Greybull Improve
ment Company's money. Money had
been deposited in a bank that closed
its doors. What did the commission
do? They simply raised the taxes to
meet the default. l would say this
was a twin brother to the old shell
game. No chance for the operator to
lose. If bonds should be sold for
81, 00O, 100000 and the money put into
the commissions hands, who do not
hesitate to say that they not respon-
sible for M cent. If the farmer must
be responsible for all money, and all
actions of the commission, / have this
to say: Keep your money in your W
pockets and absolutely refuse to pay
taxes for any such purposes.
