Harold Atwood
Speaks Pine
City FL. Club
Railroad & Warehouse
Commissioner Explains
Work; Organizer Speaks.

Harold R. Atwood, chairman of the
Minnesota Railroad and Warehouse
Commission, spoke at the regular
meeting of the Pine City Farmer
Labor club Friday evening, explaining
the services and work of the Commits
sion and citing the many ways in
which it serves the people of the state.
Although first created to regulate
railways, the Commissions work has
expanded to cover many other util-
tiles, such as the telephone companies,
bus companies and trucking COM
panieS.
The Commission, said Mr.. Atwood,
gives advice to telephone companies
and has been especially helpful to
the rural telephone companies of the
state in helping them fix rates. The
private companies are regulated and
in ST. Paul an investigation as to
valuation and rates was made, which
will save the patrons some 100000
if allowed to stand. The telephone
company appealed to the District
court of Ramsey county which court
sustained the Commission and the
case is now pending in the State Su-
preme Court.
Other matters handled by the Com
mission are weights and measures,
safety at railroad crossings, and fixing
of rates, which is very important and
requires skilled men to handle. The
Commission maintains several offices
in the state and there are some 45O
people employed in its work.
Was Progressive Legislator.
Mr.. Atwood spoke briefly about
the history of the Farmer-Labor
party. At the first state meeting there
were very few delegates and they
had to pay their own expenses and
meet in a small hall. But growth
was rapid and with success in the
elections came study and experience
until today the party is well organ
lied and able to give battle to the
vested interests of wealth.
MIR. Atwood's home is at Winona
and although the county is consid-
cred conservative, he was sent to the
legislature for five sessions, where
he established an enviable record as
a progressive legislator.
Elect Officers.
Following Mr.. AtWoOd's talk, Rep
resentative John Kinzer spoke on Or
ganization, after which the following
officers of the club were elected:
Chairman, Erwin L. Nelson; vice
chairman, Norman Schroeder; secre-
tary-treasurer, o. R. Dickson. E. j.
Prochaska and James Slaven were
chosen to serve on the county central
committee The Pine City club has
about 40 members paid up and a
committee consisting of Erwin Nelson
o. r. Dickson and S. A. Striegl was
appointed to act on membership.

the work of Christ in His name.
Hi. A Lesson in Cooperation wv.
S8-4L.
John, quick to apprehend spiritual
truth, sees in the teaching of Christ
concerning the little child the con-
domination of something he had
done. " IF indeed it be true that to
receive child, an ordinary every
day child, is to receive Christ, and
to receive God said John within
himself, what did do when I for
babe that man who in the Name
was casting out a demon?' Verify,
the light had broken in upon him"
(Morgam.
The man who casts out demons,
or who gives the disciple of Jesus
a cup of water, in His name-that is
with true faith in Christ, and in His
power, and for His glory-must be a
believer. He may not belong to our
group or circle, he may not speak
our language, he may not use our
methods, but if he is serving Christ
we should not forbid him or speak
evil of him. God has at times
called man to witness for Him,
who has done so in a manner dis
tasteful to others, and these in turn
have aligned themselves against
him and hindered his full usefulness
in the gospel. One of the great evan
gelists of the last generation used
methods which shocked many
church folk. They stood against him,
and yet that man was used to win
hosts of business and professional
men that the church had scarcely
touched, into earnest Christian tes-
tirnony and service which continues
to this day. You and / may not like
one another's appearance, or voice,
or methods, but let us love and CO.
operate with one another for
Christ's sake!

GIVE NE Il BOOK
BY Walter Byron StehI, D. o.

Oh, give me a book in cosy
nook,
My pipe and my dog by my side,
And will smile, and count it
worth while
Whatever else may betide.
There are many sights in far-off
lands
And odds and wonders combined,
But with my book in my favorite
nook
My mind is not confined.
Ger land and sea my thoughts
may roam
To distant parts, far, far from
home
Yet all earth's treasures whatever
they be,
In my book, in my nook are
brought to me.

TOPIC-C0.operatin in Service.
That there is strength in united
and cooperative effort is a truth so
obvious that in the affairs of the
nome and of the office we would not
attempt to make progress with "a
house divided against itself" But
With strange and destructive incon-
xistency some who are engaged in
the propagation of the Christian
faith, and often the very folk who
speak much Of love and fellow
ship and sacrifcial service, fight one
another with cunning and often bit
ternesS of spirit, and all in the
name of Christ whom they profess
to serve.
No one who is awake to the real
issue involved would ask any true
Believer to cooperate In Christian
work with those who, while holding
the name and outward symbols of
the followers Of Christ, deny His
deity and His Word. But surely
here is need for loving cooperation
between all those who truly love
The Lord, who believe in Him and
b His Word. Why should we per-
NIT non-essentials to divide us when
The world is dying without Christ
and without hope? May this lesson
bring many true Christians who
may not see eye to eye on some
point Of church polity or interpreta-
hon into fellowship and united
Strength for God.
/. A Dispute by the way wv. 30
sN.
Jesus had taken His disciples
rom the Mount of TRANSPORTATION
by secluded roads through Galilee

the all-important truths regarding
His death and resurrection. One
gould hardly conceive of more
propitious arrangement for their
growth both in knowledge and grace.
Did they profit by it? No; they
pot only did not understand what
re told them but they used their
rme to dispute among themselves
who should be the greatest ". 80.
Possibly James, Peter, and John
were a bit pulled up by their ex-
perlence on the Mount, or perhaps
ne others were jealous because
Jesus had taken them with Him.
