| The Pioneer has been deluged with requests to continue the special subscription ofter for another week; and we have decided to leave the last week cffer in force until next Saturday . night: Subscription Bargain Continued.

The public confirmation that He was ‘the Son of God has followed by private confirmation as shown in chapters 13 to 17 in which was set forth his prophetic knowledge, personal deity and divine majesty. A second public confirmation we find in chapters 18 and 19 through His death according to the scrip- tures—His claim that He was the King of the Jews and the triumph of the cause. This was followed by a second private confirmation of his sonship as shown in chapters 20 and 21, In the empty tomb the four post-resurrection appearances and the re-established faith of His disciples by His voice, His form and His power. Dr. George N. Luccock. Gist of Genesis.” We ought to read the bible in three ways. Rapidly in course, critically and devotionally. It is a good habit to read single books of the bible at one sitting. Thus get the message of God as a whole. ; Genesis is the first book in the greatest literature of the world, and answers the great questions how things came to be. How man came and sin entered. And the first judgment upon sinners. It is full of interesting biography, fine stories and yet isa well arranged part of God’s word. The gist of Genesis may be con- densed into three words, Creation, Sin, Seed. The history of creation brings man on the stage. Then follows the entrance of sin and its dreadful consequences. The last scene in the first section is murder. Then the book shows how sin works, and indicates a conquest between the strength of sin and the strength of the seed, and that”conquest is still on but victory is sure. Itis somewhat remarkable that Genesis 3:14-15 is paralleled by John 3:14-15. After the story of Cain, in which it is shown that sin works, death, and is followed by succeeding generations of constantly degener- ating generations, came the flood and the destruction of the world followed by confusion of tongues from the same sins which brought the flood. Beginning with the 11 chapter we have the development of the seed. nations and individuals are dis- missed and the following chapters are given to grown of the chosen family and show the manner in which the seed of the woman was developed ahd become the Savior of the world. Half the book of Genesis is given to the history ot Jacob. A drama in which sin-fighting grace is located in the heart of Jacob where the great battle has been fought in all the ages. Jacob wasa typical Jew and the whole race of man in emitme. We have all the strength of sin and evil of heredity in Jacob. There are two great volumesin the book of the character of Jacob. One the first volume, the softening of the sinner and two, the sanctifying of the saint. In the softening ~of the sinner there are four stages. First the tragedy of the success of sin; second, the awakening to the character of God; third the discipline of our “The reconciliation. The real climax of the book is in Jacob’s blessing his sons and bestow- ing his benediction on the one through whom the Messiah was to come to the world. God honored him in allowing him to name his successor, including the promise of the coming of the Savior to the world. Adjournment for noon. PROGRAM OF EXAMINATIONS.

GO0 Lars Bjorge Who Was Injured at Black- duck Last November, Would Re- cover $15,750. Lars Bjorge, an old resident of Crookston, who received injuries at Blackduckdepot as theresult of which he lost part of one of his legs, has iustituted a suit for damages against the Minnesota & International rail- way company, the amount of dam- ages asked for being $15,750. Mr. Bjorge has secured the ser- vices of Eric O. Hagen of Crooks- ton as his attorney and the papers in the case were issued out of the district court for Beltrami county, the same being served by deputy Sheriff J. N. Bailey this morning, service being had on G. A, Walker, local agent for the M. & I. railway company. % In his complaint Mr. Bjorge alleges that while he was taking the train at Blackduck, the 18th day of November, 1907, his leg was severed on account of the negligence of the the company in constructing” the platform at the station in Blackduck- Bjorge alleges that the platform was improperly constructed in thata great and unnecessary space was left open from the train step to the platform. Bjorge states that the night of November 18 was very dark at the time he bought his ticket for the purpose of going from Black- duck to Kelliher; that while he was trying to board the train he slipped and fell off the platform to the ground and got between the train and the platform; That the train began to move, after he had fallen, and he was dragged along between| the train and the platform and was greatly injured. Bjorge states that his leg was subsequently amputated and that by reason thereof he suffered other injuries and also experienced great bodily and mental agony; that he was confined to his house all the time from November 18, 1907, until July 15,1908, and that he spent $600 for medical treatment. The case will create considerable interest and will come up for trial at the fall term of the district court for Beltrami county, which opens in this city September 15. Change at Brinkman.

I.EAVE FOR lflIIIIEAPIJLIS Pomular Local Eik Will Enter Employ + ‘of Browning, King & Co. at Minneapolis. v €. L. Decker and family have Y broken up their residence in this <city and gone to Minneapolis, where they will hereafter make their.kome. Mrs. Decker and little daughter left yesterday morning and Mr. Decker followed them this morning. Mr. Decker, who-was for two years in the employ of O’Leary & Bowser, severed his connection with that concern some two weeks ago. He has accepted a lucrative position with the firm of Browning-King of Minneapolis and -will enter their employ at once. Sincere regret is expressed by everybody in this city at the depart- ure of Mr. and Mrs. Decker. Decker is a member of lodge, 1052, B.P. O. E., and in fact he was the real promoter of the lodge. It is due to his untiring efforts that the Bemidji C. L. DECKER! lodge was made possible and he has always been an ardent supporter of this lodge. He was its first exalted ruler and was a delegate to the national meeting of Elks at Phila- delphia last year and also to Dallas this year. Mr. Decker was elected grand tyler of the grand lodge at the Dallas meeting, an honor which was deservedly conferred. Mrs. Decker has made hosts of friends in this city through her most excellent womanly qualities. Both Mr. and Mrs. Decker will be greatly missed and the sincere wishes of the residents of the city are that they will meet with unbounded success in their new home in Minneapolis. Was a Fine Lecture. Dr. J.°C. Shelland, pastor of the Mizpah Congregational church of Minneapolis, delivered his lecture on “My Travels in Europe,” at the high school building last evening. The lecture was a very able effort, and the doctor’s descriptions of the many places he had visited was interesting in the extreme. Lack of space forbids a more detailed account of the lecture, but suffice it to say that it was one of the best lectures ever delivered in this city and has created much favor- able comment from those who were present.

WEAPON USED A SHOTGUN Charge Was Fired From Houseboat on Bank of Ohio River and Its Force Was Spent Before Reaching Vessel Carrying Republican Presidential Candidate—Latter Not Informed of the Incident at the Time. Cincinnati, July 30.—The steamer &llmd Queen was fired ofi during its trip up the Ohio river with Judge Taft and the notification committeq and guests aboard and Mrs. C. B. Rus- sell of this city, standing on the hurri- cane deck directly under the seat oc: cupied by the presidential candidate, was struck in the face and breast by & number of small shot. She was not seriously injured. | Few of those on the steamer knew of the occurrence and Judge Taft was not told. A shotgun was used, being fired by a man from a shanty boat moored to the Ohio side of the river. The identity of the shooter is un- known. The Island Queen had steamed slowly around the bend at Dayton, Ky., and was near the middle of the river when persons leaning on the larboard rail saw a man emerge from the cabin of a shanty boat moored on the Ohio baiak and fire a shotgun. He was in his shirt sleeves and wore a straw hat. Mrs. Russell gave a scream and de- clared she had been shot. She was hurried into the cabin, where it was found she was not seriously injured. One of the'shots had penetrated the skin over her left eve and another had struck her on the chin. The distance from the shore was so great that the charge of shot had al- most spent itself when it reached the boat. A number of the pellets pi ed her dress. A young man standing by Mrs. Russell’s chair was also hit by one of the shot, but he was not hurt. The officers of the boat stated that they would make an investigation in order to learn the identity of the mis- creant who fired the gun. MEMBER OF LABOR UNION Judge Taft Inducted Into Steam Shov- elers’ Organization. Cincinnati, July 30.—Judge Taft has been formally made an honorary mem- ber of the Steam Shovelers’ union. The induction into membership took place at the Taft home and was con- ducted by a committee from the shov- elers’ organization. In accepting membership in the In- ternational Brotherhood of Steam Shovelers and Dredgemen Judge Taft expressed his appreciation of the in- tended honor and said he should take the compliment as showing that while in the execution of great work on the Panama canal, where he had had deal- ings with the shovelers’ organization and where he had found it necessary sometimes to disagree and had in some cases decided against the work- men, he was now convinced of their appreciation of the situation and their intention 1o be impartial. He spoke of the propriety of becoming a mem- ber of the organization, which he jus- tifled by the membership of McKinley in the Bricklayers’ union and of Roosevelt in the firemen’s organiza- tion. T.

Dolan, president of the organ- ization, inducted Mr. Taft into mem- bership, assisted by Charles Rees of New York, John Tinley of Chicago, Walter McDonald of Texas, Henry Puffer of Cincinnati and Arthur Whit- etaft of Rochester, N.
