! from whence then hast thou that
| living water? Art thou greater
than our father Jacob, which gave
us the weIl?" She held to past ira
ditions which blinded her eyes to
see new spiritual truths.
v. 13. "Jesus answered and said
unto her, Whosoever drinketh OF
this water shall thirst again; but
whosoever drinketh of the water
! that I shall give him shall never
thirst; but the water that I shall
give him shall be in him a well of
water springing up into everlasting
life The well of salvation is eter-
nal, supplying a constant grace and
strength; religion has it's seat in the
heart and not in forms; it satisfies
the longings of the soul and through
I living examples induces others to
seek the great Source. So religion
Of Christ always lives amid all
changes and external circumstances.
v. IS THE woman saith unto
him, Sir, give me this water, that
thirst not, neither come hither to
draw The woman made a slight
movement in the better way though
she did not comprehend much OF
the truth.
". 16. Jesus said, Go, call thy
husband and come hither." Jesus
would arouse conviction for sin. No
one can become Christian by COW
ering up wrong. Salvation is more
than reform.
V. II. "The woman said, have
no husband. Jesus said unto her,
Thou hast we'll said, thou hast no
husband" The woman put up q
bold face, but was caught in her
own story. Jesus had supernatural
! knowledge.
V. 18. ''For thou hast had five
husbands; and he whom thou now
hast is not thy husband; in that thou
saidst truly Jesus gave principles
for a home life that called for fl
deity, peace and happiness. The
church and the state cannot rise
higher than the home.
v. 19. "The woman saith unto
him, Sir, l perceive that thou are
prophet" In her CONSERVATION, the
woman told more than she knew.
v. 20. "Our fathers worshipped
ia this mountain and ye say, that in
Jerusalem is the place where men
ought to worship" The woman
evades the issue by raising the ques-
tion of the Samaritans' religious
justifications. A sinner often tries
to justify himself.
v. 81. "Jesus saith unto her,
Woman, believe me, the hour COM
eth when We shall neither in this
mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem,
worship the Father" Jesus refused
to participate in controversy. Wor-
ship of God is to be universal. He
looks at the worshipper and not the
place of worship.
v. %. but the hour cometh,
and now is, when the true worship
pers shall worship the Father in
spirit and in truth for the Father
seeketh such to worship him." In
true worship the soul of man comes
into communion with God and in
humility adores him. Such worship
deals with reality and is vital and
helpful instead of being meaning
less form.
". rs, 26. ''The woman saith un-
to him, l know that Messias COM
eth, which is called Christ. When
he is come he will tell us all things.
Jesus saith unto her, that speak
unto thee am he." Jesus announces
his Messiahship of which there can
be no mitake.

Large Barn
By
Fire Thursday
Four Head of High Grade
Holstein Cattle We're
Burned
SUFFERS HEAVY LOSS
Fire Dept. Did Excellent
Work In Saving Other
Buildings

A disastrous fire, which destroy.
ed the large dairy barn, the milk
house and silo at the Ben Wiener
farm, occurred last week Thursday
afternoon. Among the losses listed
by Mr.. Wiener were four high
grade Holstein cows, Is tons Of al.
falfa, some straw and ensilage.
The fire was discovered in the
milk house shortly after four
o'clock by neighbor who immed.
lately notified the family. After
calling the Sank Centre Fire De
partment, Mr.. Wiener and neigh
bors. who had gathered to Offer
aid, began the work of getting thu
cows and horses out of the barn
The fire which started from the
stove in the milk house, spread sc
rapidly that it was impossible tt
get all of the stock from the burn.
ing building, and after a checkuI
made after the fire, 1t was discover
ed that four fine cows had been
burned to death.
The timely arrival and excellent
work of the fire department, and a
good supply Of water at the farm
made it possible to save other
nearby out buildings. Terrific heat
made it almost impossible for fire
men to remain near enough to save
the chicken coop and other build
ings, and some of them had caps
and coats scorched while fighting
the fire.
The barn was a structure 48x32
with a 16-foot lean-to, built for q
milk house. Both of these were
burned to the ground with all con-
tents, except stock. A large silo
filled with ensilage, was burned
about half way to the ground.
Mr.. Wiener, who operates a dairy
farm with milk delivery in this
city, had a high-grade herd of Hol-
stems, which numbered q head, Cd
which all but four were saved.
There were also three horses in the
barn, when the fire broke out, but
they were saved Immediately
Heavy smoke and a high wind
which spread the flames quickly
made 1t impossible to save the
other cows.
A visit to the ruins with Chief
George Fish Friday morning, re-
vealed a terrific loss. MIR. Wiener
stated that he carried insurance on
everything, although it will not re-
pay the entire loss, which at this
time is a hard blow to him. After
the fire the cattle were taken to
the George Rice farm where they
were placed in shed, until other
arrangements could be made. Mr.
Wiener has the sympathy of large
number Of friends who regret the
loss he has sustained.

Conservation
Committees
Announced
Elections For 1888 Agricul-
tural Conservation Pro-
gram Held
FIFTEEN 1888 MEETINGS
Detectives Of Soil Conserva-
ton Studied And
Discussed

During the past two weeks the
educational and community cleo
ton meetings pertaining to the
1888 agricultural conservation pro-
gram were held in Stearns county.
In all fifteen such meetings were
held. At the meetings the aims and
detectives of the conservation pro-
gram were studied and discussed.
Among these the most important
ones brought out are: The conser-
walton of the soil, the greatest ma
tural resource this country has, the
adjustment of supply to effective
demand for agricultural products
and the raising Of farm income to
warrant fair standard of living
among farm people.
A review Of the agricultural con-
ditions and prices for 1887 was dis
cussed together with the outlook
for such crops as wheat, cotton,
livestock and livestock products.
Among the crops wheat and cotton
are in a particularly precarious
condition and northern farmers
have an interest in the cotton sit
uation even though they do not
produce cotton themselves. This
brought out by the fact that the
cotton producers are in a position
to produce any and all Of the ag-
ricultural products produced in
this area even though this area
cannot produce the crops of the
south.
The committeeman ia alterna-
tives elected ior the various COM
munities to handle the 1888 pro-
gram are as follows:
st. Joseph, st. Wendell: Frank
Gill, John Terwey, Stanley Weihs,
Roman Rassier, Martin Schroeder.

Writes From
Nebraska
A
Plans Permanent Residence
In Michigan After The
Holiday Season
LIKED ISSUE OF HERALD
Says December End, Paper
Was Wonderful Adver-
tisement for City

Anthony Kuntz, who formerly
taught in the West Union school
is now working in Nebraska, from
where he wrote the following letter:
West Point, Nebraska
December 8, 1887
Dear Mr.. Rattle,
I have been in Nebraska since
the beginning of October, but ]
still haven't taken a liking to the
"Cornhusker State" Thus far
have been successful in selling
Compton's Encyclopedias. Therefore,
from a business standpoint say 1t
is o. X. However, wouldn't want
to live here permanently. It seems
that all the Cornhuskers can be
proud Of is their football team.
They surely were proud that they
were able to defeat Minnesota. One
can't blame 'em for that.
The corn crop varies from very
good to very poor. Burt and Cum
ing county. the two counties I have
been working in, had 80 per cent of
a normal crop. That was the high
est Of any county in the state. The
counties west of here had a COM
plete crop failure again. Some of
the farmers here envy the Mime
sofa dairy farmers. The 43 cent
Minnesota butter looks by far bet
ter to them than the Al cent Ne
braska corn.
Have been changing my address
almost every week. However, my
brother has off and on sent me your
paper. Immediately after Christ
mas I expect to have a permanent
address in southern Michigan. AS
soon as I do I'll want you to send
me the Sank Centre Herald.
In reading the last page Of the
Herald" of December End the
thought came to my mind that a
home town paper surely Is a won
derfud advertising agency. especial
ay when 1t finds its way into 5000
homes. I couldn't help recalling the
sales campaign of last fall in which
I took part. One of the factors that
stood out like a sore thumb was the
facts that some Of the business peo-
pie Of Sank Cente didn't appreciate
what their local paper was doing
for them.
Surely the December End issue Of
the Herald" was real advertise
ment for the business men Of Sank
Centre. Without good. local paper
a city's progress Is at a stand still.
It was the good, old fighting spirit
Of Saulr Centre people that rebuild
the buildings which were destroyed
by fire last year. However, 1t was
the "Sauk Centre Herald" that in
formed the surrounding communit-
les Of this progress.
Am planning on being back in
the good. old state of Minnesota for
my Christmas vacation. The wealth
er Is rather cold lately. We had
8 below yesterday morning. Even
had young" snow storm the 7th.
Greetings to all the old friends. The
VS. Is still able to climb the hills
Of Nebraska. With best wishes to
you and the Sank Centre Herald, I
am
Sincerely yours,
Anthony Kuntz
