Correct Address Needed.

Here is another of those gems"
which will land in the waste basket
unless someone recognizes this and
calls for it. Jim" mailed post
card at Askov July % but forgot to
put a name and address on it, so
of course it remains there as dead
mail. It can not be returned as the
only return address is "Jim." In
order that the sender might better
recognize it, here is part of the mes
sage: Grandpa wants to know if Clio
could come down here for a week,
ETC." The moral of this item is of
course to call attention to the neceS-
sity of having your mail properly
addressed.
There are approximately two mil
lion letters per month that do not
reach their destination on account of
none or insufficient address. Thus a
lot of vital messages land in the
waste basket before they have served
their purpose.

Didn't Get Away.

Harold Frederiksen and several
more young fishermen spent pleas
ant afternoon at Sturgeon lake last
week. They knew the fishing wasn't
so good at 2 o'clock in the afternoon
but that was the only time available.
In less than 80 minutes a real big
one took hook, line, sinker and all.
They came back over the same spot
for revenge, but the equipment was
gone.
However, there were more big ones
and Harold struggled with one that
looked like Is pounds. The others in
the boat gave advice but very little
help because they had no landing
equipment. 1t was a long, drawn-out
affair, but Harold finally had beau
tiful wall-eyed pike in the boat.
Later it was Officially" weighed and

Collect for Hymnal Fund.

"A Journey Through Hymn Land"
was the title of a talk given Wednes-
day evening of last week in the
church by Rev. j. G. Aaberg from
Minneapolis. 1t was ''long journey
but an interesting one as the speaker
has specialized in this topic for many
years and is well prepared to speak
on the meaning of the hymns as
we'll as on the authors, both from the
old church as well as after the Re-
formation. The Misses Ruth Soren-
sen and Olga Jensen rendered vocal
and organ selections.
It was originally the English Ladies'
Aid which sponsored the idea of the
meeting for the purpose of gathering
additional funds for the hymnal fund.
A collection in the church together
with the net proceeds from the sale
of refreshments in the church par
lors provided approximately $40. This
amount, together with the S66 previ-
ously contributed to the fund from
various sources, but principally by
the Aid, makes total of $50 and
thus the original goal of $85 has been
reached.

TT WAS while he was publishing lSKRA
l that Lenin came To the conclusion that
the maturity of capital prophesjed by Marx
was not coming about. Wealth had enormously
increased in western Europe since the death
of Marx, and private fortunes had aug
mented.
But the laborng classes were not becoming
more wretched, the workers were not grow
ing poorer the prodigious augmentation of
wealth nthe modern world was benehting all
classes of society
The maturity Of capitalism was not coming
through the immutable laws of its own de-
velopment and decay
Lcnin arrived at two conclusions:
First. that the activities of Socialist
parties everywhere through their moderation,
their compromises, and particularly through
the ameoration, effected by the legislation
which they espoused. were preventing the
arrival of the day of revolution.
They were producing contentment in tAe
workingman not the spirit Of revolutionary
violence They were building up national
oyalties. not the international featy between
proletarlans the world over.
They were harmful and pernicious, and
their influence should be destroyed
Lenin and his followers held this view
until his death and after.
It explains the hatred existing between
moderate Socialists and Communist-revo-
Iutionists everywhere.
Lenins second conclusion was that if the
capitalist system was 10 be overthrown, and
an era Of communism brought n, II would not
be accomplished by legal or parliamentary
methods.
1t could be brought about only by violence.
and his decision was TO organize violence,
capture the state and realize communism now.

have said as much as this 10 explain why
the Third International was brought into
existence in 1919
It's object was to supplant The Second In
ternatona and destroy conservative socialism
everywhere.
Now why We may ask. after p years Of
existence, has the third International been
abolished
Doubtless there are many reasons which
will become clearer shortly. but first and
foremost l would say that one reason for The
liquidation Of the Third international lies in
the fact that il did not succeed.

although a great deal of money was provided

It's spread. II failed to capture the adherence
of any great number of people outside Of
Russia.
THE sixth congress of the Communist
l International held in Moscow in 1923,
was the last to express advocacy of violence
abroad.
1t excoriated the United States ard
attempted to arouse dependent and colored
races against their colonial status.
1t also sought to weaken the spirit Of
foreign armed forces and enlist pacihst sentl-
ment to support Russia, as the leading peace
full state of the world.
After this outburst, no congress was held
for seven years.
The doctrine of revolutionary Russia Just
would not take hold, and its adherents nearly
everywhere diminished
This problem was taken up al the last
congress, the seventh held AT Moscow in 1885.
and the policy adopted at that gathering is
significant.
The leading spirit and the reporter Of the
policy that was adopted was Georg Dimitreff,
who had recently been acquitted of the charge
of burning the Reichstag building in Berlin.
This congress adopted what the reporter
himself named the Trojan Horse" policy. a
suspension Of the revolutionary declarations
Of the Third International; union with con-
servative Socialists or other movements OF
social protest, anywhere; and the introduction
Of Communists into these organizations, until
their capture could be effected as the
Greek warriors, concealed in the Trojan Horse,
gained entrance to Troy and captured ard
destroyed that ancient city.
Politically, this was the policy, so-caled,

In Spain the Communist influence in tie

aroused so much suspicion in even friendly
governments, that they withheld their aid

European moderate socialism was not
