Soltau The attendance at the Bible Con- ference, which is being held here, is growing stronger every day and this year’s session is really better than any previous in the history of the conference. Tuesday’s program was carried out exactly as printed before. The strength and beauty of the addresses far exceeded all expecta- tion, and all in attendance are enthu- siasticc Many arrived yesterday who were detained by the storm and were late for the opening of the conference. At 9 oclock Count Gelesnoff spoke on “The Redeemer, His Per- son and History.” (Textl Peter 1:8-21). Peter had two great experi- ences in life which fitted him for this opinion of the salvation which is in Christ. He saw the sufferings of Christ and His transfiguration. He understood that the suffering was to be followed by glory and the glory was to be preceded by suffering. This passage expresses the assur- ance of salvation asan accomplished fact, the object of it as a redemption from our vain manner of life and the precious blood of Christ. We need to be redeemed from our human goodness as well as from sin. The person of Christ is first pre- sented to us under the figure of a lamb without spot or blemish. ' Isa uses the same figures and remarks that He is without violence or guile. As to His history He was fore- known. Christ was not an after- thought of God. When the great disaster occurred in Eden, God was not taken by surprise. Christ and His work in behalf of sinners was planned by God before the founda- tion of the world. The fact is, God created the whole physical universe with a view to and“in order to the incarnation of Christ. He was de- claimed. John declaims that Jesus Christ was God, is manifest in the flesh and will be shown to be the Son of God with power. Man, as created in Eden, was to declare God; for he was in His image; he was to reflect God, but met failure in the fall. God must not fail, so Christ, a new revelation, e every day. ists DRUGCISTS SOMETHING NEW When you get tired of the same old thing every day drop into our store and look over our menu. ular dishes and we run several specials wz+| CORMONTAN & HANSON = THE OWL DRUG STORE We have over 100 reg- Bostottice Corner BEMIDJI, MINN.

GOULD is provided and He declaimed God, John makes no argument. He simply declares that Christ is God’s manifestation of Himself, Dr. Soltau spoke on ‘“The Con- struction of the Bible,” in part as follows: The Bible has sixty-six books and thirty-six authors. The Old Testiment has five books of law, then twelve books of history, then five books of poetry, then seven- teen books of prophecy. The first four books of the New Testament are biography, the next one history, the next twenty-one letters of practice and doctrine and the last one prophecy. This book of God was 1600 years in comstruc- tion. God worked liesurely and accurately. The book tells first that some- one is coming from God to man; second, that this long expected One has come, was rejected, but in His rejection and crucifixion he completed a “divine plan for abolishing sin; and third, that having gone away He is coming again to be vindicated by God before the world which rejected him, . At 11 o'clock, Dr. Gelesnoff spoke on ¢The Redeemer, His Atoning Death,” He took his text from 1 Peter, 2:21, In a few preliminery remarks, he showed the life of Christ was an example of God’s purpose for man, -of what God expects of man and what is necessary if man would dwell with God. Man is like a lost sheep that can never return to the fold, or a musical instrument which can never give forth subdued, sweet tones till the Master, by repairing, adjusts part to part in proper rotation, We may admire the life of Christ, |« but we cannot reproduce it in our- selves, lacking power, until we have identity of nature in His holy life. Sin is the difficulty. The death of Christ is the only. remedy for sin. There is not the least similarity, but rather the widest diverzence, between sin and instinct, modern teaching to the contrary, notwith- standing. Instinct preserves. Sin destroys. In the atonement there is both the fact of union of life and substitution or exchange of place. The Biblical idea -of atonement is that God has provided a way to put sin away out of sight. At 2 o'clock p, m., Dr. Soltau BODY OF MRS, WILMANN ‘BURIED YESTERDAY P. M, Impressive Funeral Services Con- ducted by Rev. Kolste at the Norwegian Lutheran Church. At the Norwegian Lutheran church in this city, yesterday afternoon, were held the last sad rites over the body of Mrs. J. Wilmann, who de- parted this life on Tuesday morning. The services were attended by a large number of sympathizing friends of the husband, the little church being crowded to the doors. Rev. Kolste, pastor of the church, officiated at the services. which were in the English language.and very impressive, He took for his text I Cor 15:42.43, and spoke eloquently on the hope of the resurrection of the body in the life hereafter. The flowers were many and beauti- ful, but not more beautiful than the face that rested so peacefully among them. The Ladies’ Aid society of the Norwegian Lutheran church gave a very beautiful floral piece, and Mrs. Rolste tlaced on the cas- ket a collection of white water lilies that lent beauty to the bank of color, Flowers seem to be the best em- blem we have to express our love, for we wreathe them around the cradle, the marriage altar and the tomb. Thus would we leave ber, as sweetly reposing among the beauti- ful and fragrant flowers. At the conclusion of the solemn services the casket was removed to Greenwood cemetery and the body interred in its last resting place, the silent city of the dead.” To her the struggle and burden bearing of earth are ended, and we confidently trust that like one who awakes from a troubled dream she has awakened to- see’ life’s endless morning break and knows herself at home with all the vast throng of loved ones, missed from earth, safe around her. Her home instincts were strong here in this fevered world of disappointment. Her affec- tions for friends and kindred was tender and abiding. . Gone from our sight. But because life and love are stronger than death she is still ours, She is still the spoke on “The Relation of the Books of the Bible to Another.” The ad- dress was full of illuminating truth but lack ot space forbidsa sketch here. The evening hour wasa most delightful one. Rev. J. F. McLeod of Two Harbors, formerly pastor of the Presbyterian church of this city, presided at the evening session. Professor Martin lead in a rousing praise service, after which Rev. Neil A. Gilchrist of Thief River Falls read the scripture lesson of the evening from Deut. 33. Rev. W. C. Lowry of Brainerd led in prayer. The address of the evening was delivered by Dr. Luccock. He chose four passeges of scripture to form “Fourfold Forward Force” of his theme, ‘At Evening time, there shall be light.” . Zach 14:7. “God, who giveth songs in the night.” Job. 35:10. “Joy cometh in the morning.’” Psa. 30:5. “As thy day so shall thy strength be.” Deut. 33:25. The springing of hope at the evening time; the songs of courage in the night of difficulty and struggle; the larger and truer view of things come in the morning, and with the day comes the promise of strength. These formed the outline of an address of rare strength and beauty. The day, taken as a whole, was probably fuller of thought and in- spiration than any other in the his- tory of Bemidji Bible Conference. Week-End Excursions.

Maxam & Sights company opened a four-nights engagement in this city last evening in a tent on a lot back of the Pioneer office. The company played “Master and Man,” and while conditions were not of the best the company acquit- ted themselves very creditably and gave a very good performance.

Specialities will’ be introduced between the acts and all who attend are assured of an enjoy- able performance.
