THE COLOSSEUM.
Continued from last week.


these, Of course, were the poorest
seats and were occupied by those able
to purchase the cheapest seats, for all
who viewed the games, paid for the
privilege. They gathered early in the
morning, people Of the plebian, or
lower classes taking food to last them
through the day. families, men, woTen
and children. The nobility, or the
upper classes, had their food and re-
freshments brought to them. Men
and boys carrying trays of sweet
meats, fruits, cooled wines, water
cooled with snow carried down from
the mountains, passed among the
tiers Of seats and sold their wares as
today the boys pass through our cir
Gus seats selling peanuts, popcorn,
lemonade, etc.
Behind the wall enclosing the arena,
and under the tiers of seats, was a
large space between the arena proper,
and the outside walls of the Colos-
scum. In the outer wall was cut eight
gates that the crowds might enter and
pass out without confusion, as, when
the games were in progress, this
Colosseum held 10000 people and was
usually filled to capacity. There was
one entrance sacred to the Emperor
and his party.
In the space inside the walls, and
under the seats, were offices and

passed along through the audience,
from tier to tier Of the seats, swinging
censors filled with perfumes, so that
the odors from the torn bodies below,
would not be so offensive to the
nostrils Of the rich.
Nero, most cruel of all recorded
men, also held such games" privately
In the garden of his Golden House"
palace so magnificent, so fabulously
decorated and furnished, that its
beauty could not be described.
A part of these gardens surrounding
that palace, are what is now the open
space before the church of st. Peters,
in Rome. After his great banquets,
Nero was won't to wander in his gar
den, particularly on nights when the
moon was full-visualize him, followed
by his faWning courtiers who agreed
with him in everything, laughed when
he did, echoed his every sentiment,
through fear they themselves would
be the next victims. Walk with him
through his garden-down the paths
between Towering roses. and the other
sweet smelling shrubs that grow in
such profusion in Italy-paths lined
with statues so lifelike they only need
breath to make them human, like

chains that bind that waiting form in
oilsoaked rags to pillars of stone; I'M

green boughs, piles OF wood-the pyre
see the slaves of Nero light these
oilsoaked rags-see, in your minds eye,
and hear the roars Of laughter Of Nero
and his sycophants, as they mock and
laugh at the bodily contortions, the
facial expressions of agony-of the
dying fellow hunan-living torches
that many, many times lit up the
grounds of that human monster, Nero,

earlier, from the prison. were herded

which Senator Frazier IS chairman
| and of which Senator Wheeler is
a member, has not as yet conclud-
ed its hearings. There are several
other witnesses yet to be heard.
We expect that the hearings on
this matter will be concluded next
week.
We are confident that after the
! hearings of the Senate subcommit-
tee are closed that the subeommit-
tee will make recommendations
which will be beneficial and for
the best interests of the Indians.
We want to say that the Indians
are very fortunate that we have
the Senate subcommittee function
ing. 1t seems that this is the only
agency which is one hundred per
cent for the rights of the Indians
and who do not hesitate to criti-
cize the Indian bureau when 1t Is
wrong. We hope that this Senate
subcommittee will continue to
function as we feel that the min
ute this committee ceases to funct-
ion the Indian bureau will go back
to it's old arbitrary policies. We
are also convinced that this SEN
ate subcommittee has already
brought about many needed chang
es and that through this committee
there will be brought about chang
es in the Anticipated and arbitrary
policies practiced by the Indian
bureau.
We take this means to thank
the officers of our General Council
for the instructions sent us today
by wire, and we want to assure
every one of our people at home
that we realize the confidence ex-
pressed and bestowed in us. and
we will do our utmost to carry out
these instructions and all we ask
is that our people be patient. We
will try to work out these prob
lens. We assure you again that it
is our intention to remain here un-
til all of our work is completed.
We want to take advantage of the
situation here as the 72nd Congress
is very sympathetic to the Indian
cause.
In our past experience We have
never had such an opportunity to
work our our own problems.
In conclusion we want to thank
you all.

LUTHERANS STRESS
PERSONAL EVANGELISM
(By Rev. Kleidon)

Three thousand thirty eight con
gregations in this country and Can
ada, affiliated with the Eyangeli
| cal Lutheran Synod of Missouri
Synod, have been requested to OBJ
| serve National Lutheran Publicity
week from January 81 to February
7. by an intensive effort to win the
u%nchurched. Christ Evangelical
Lutheran church of this city is par
ticipating in this endeavor, which
is sponsored by the committee on
Missionary Expansion.
The Lutheran church Is not a
PROSECUTING body. 1t has no inten-
tions of weaving away from their
churches those whose denomina-
tional loyalt y are fixed. But
Lutherans are convinced that their
church has a message particular
ly to the tremendous number of
unchurched in this country, num-
boring approximately 100000 900
souls. Millions of dollars are spent
annually in supporting home mis-
sion enterprises. For almost half
a wear the Lutheran Laymen's Lea
IL of the Missouri Synod has fl
nanced a weekly coast-to-coast
broadcast of Lutheran teachings.
L~utheranism is frankly conserva-
tive in theology. 1t accepts the BIZ
BILE as Gods inspired word and
stresses as the dominant note In
its message the Gospel truth that
pardon for sin, salvation and life
are the free gifts of Gods mercy,
offered to men in Christ and re-
ceived by faith in the divine prom
ises. 1t believes this Gospel to be
"the power of God unto salvation"
and relies upon it's simple presen-
tation to convert the hearts of
e It's preaching Is neither sensa-
tional nor shallow, but aims to
give to the hearers spiritual re-
freshment and instruction in the
difficult art of applying the ethics
of Christ to everyday living.
The Lutheran church is strongly
convinced of the necessity of Civ
ing to children a firm foundation
in "the faith once delivered to the
saints" 1t devotes much attention
to their training. In addition to
Sunday schools and weekday cate
chetical classes it has developed a
system of par~ish-schools, maintain
ed at the expense of the congrega-
lions which offer to children a com
plete course in all branches Of sec
ular knowledge as well as thor
ough religious training. Almost
1400 such schools are conducted by
the Missouri synod, with a total
enrolment of $4,000 pupils.
The following Evangelical Luth-
churches r serving this
community: Christ Lutheran. Wolf
Point; Our Savior's, nea Vida and
Emmanuel Lutheran of Prairie Elk.
All three churches are being serv-
ed by Rev E. G. Kleidon. Attend
and acquaint yourself with the
church and pastor.
