THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEE VOLUME 7. NUMBER 82. THE BIBLE CONFERENCE WILL CONCLUDE SUNDAY Fifth Annual Session of Bibl Great Interest, and Productive of Much Good to All Who Have Been in Attendance. The Bible Conference makes gains in attendance, interest and power with each succeeding day. Friday was the best yet in all these respects. A church full of people, who had laid aside their daily occupations, sat from 9 until 12 o’clock eagerly catching every word which fell from the lips of these bible teachers in our midst. The other teachers admitted, to- day, that the work of Count Geles- noff at 9 o’clock on “Ages and Dis- pensations” was superior to anything of the kind they had ever heard about. This great bible teacher is able, in the most pre-emminent manner; to delineate the fascinating features of God in the old book. Those who sit at the feet of this master are constrained to exclaim, “Never man spake like this man.” He speaks with authority and not as the higher critic. At 11 o’clock Dr. Soltau spoke on the first six chapters of the book of Daniel, showing how Dan, a man of faith, lived an overcoming life. In the first chapter, he is seen to overcome the selflife, or the “flesh” of scripture. In the second chapter he is seen to overcome fear of dan- ger. In the third chapter we see him overcome false religion.- In the fifth the world and in the sixth chap- ter he overcame fear of society. In all these he gained the victory be- cause he had absolute faith in God. Dr. Luccock gave another of his most delightful and charming talks on the text “Without Me, Ye Can Do Nothing.” We are unable to pray without Jesus. We are unable to be or do right without Him. We are unable to render any acceptable service without Him. The all- sufficiency of God reposes in Christ and man may lay hold of that power through Christ. At the 2 o’clock hour, Dr. Soltau e Students Has Been One of gave us a study on the conditions of prayer. Is it any use to pray, or is everything settled beforehand? God has left some things unsettled. One thing will happen if we pray, another will happen if we don’t pray. One must have time and place for prayer, and be alone with God with the door shut. If two or more, who know God, agree in desiring and petition, God promises a response. Prayer must be in the name of Christ. Prayer must have the boldness of faith and confidence of love, and we must be ready to be the messenger in answering our own prayers. At the evening session Rev. S. A. Jamison of Duluth presided. Dr. Luccock read the scripture and Dr. Soltay offered prayer. The chorus singing at the opening of the service was magnificent and Prof. Martin’s solo each evening adds a charm. Count Gelesnoff, the speaker of the evening, gave one of the strong- est, clearest and most powerful expositions of-the “‘Scriptural Lamb,” first introduced in Ex. 12, and car- ried on through scripture to the close, that it has ever been our for- tune to hear. The house was packed and for forty minutes every mind was riveted on the ringing message of the speaker. Tonight a grand concert will be given in the city hall under the direction of Professor Martin of Minneapolis. A big chorus, male quartet, baritone solos, violin solos, duets in voice will furnish a rare treat to music lovers. The profits are to help defray the expenses of the conference.

The Bemidji Boat club will give the second regatta on Lake Bemidji Sunday afternoon, when there will be pulled off a series of sailboat and that the regatta committee anticipates will far excel all previous efforts of the club. There will be a race between the two sailboats, owned respectively by C. D. Lucas and W. L. Brooks, and motorboat races will be between the different classes of boats which will be handicapped according to their horsepawer_ speed and the time which they make over the course. The first race will be the sail- boat race, which' will be called promptly at 2:30 p. m. Lucas won the last race by a small margin, but some of the boys who assissted in manning the Brooks craft claim that had they noted the last buoy in time to havé' made a quick turn on the last tack, their boat would have won. The second race will be motor- boats of third claas — those that make the course in not less than twenty-five minutes. F. W. Rhoda was winner of this race, last Sunday, L. G. Crothers being second. Third Race—For boats that make the course in from twenty to twenty- five minutes. Ives won last week’s race, closely followed by Stafford, Barker, Collins and Hughes.

It wasanotherlargeand well-pleased crowd that attended the performance given by the Maxim & Sights com- pany last evening, when they pre- sented the well-known drama, “East Lynne.” All of the members of this company are clean and capable ladies and gentlemen, and managed by a man whose life has been spent in good works, both on and off the stage. It is little wonder that such excellent people draw good crowds. Last night’s version of ‘“‘East Lynne” was by far the best ever given here, not one word of the long original lines being eliminated and the cast being in capable hands. Pauline Sights, as “‘Lady Isabelle,” was very clever, she depicting the part in a realistic manner that to- ward the close of the performance, brought tears to the majority of the audience. Tonight, the company will give “Waifs of New York.” This is a fine play, in four acts, with seven scenes, and it is expected that to- night’s attendance will exceed even the big attendance Thursday and Friday nights. DEATH LIST TOTALS MORE THAN A SGORE More Complete Returns From Recent Storm on the Gulf, Houston, Tex., July 24.—Later re- ports from the interior show greater damage and loss of life from the re- cent storm than sustained at Galves- ton. Wires are still down and. the spasmodic messages received fail to state the complete status or give names of dead and injured. Such points as have reported, how- ever, tell of twenty-three killed, seri- ous injury to half as many more, of fourteen others missing and damage to property estimated at $750,000. Of those missing thirteen are the mem- bers of the families of threé brothers, Abernathy, who left High Island in- tending to go to Sabine Pass. They traveled by wagon and were to camp out on the beach. Part of their equip- ment has been found, but searching parties have found no trace of the three men, their wives or the seven children who made up the party. Graphic tales of their battle with the waves are told by those swept from the Tarpon fishing pler off Gal- veston and rescued clinging to wreck- age along the beach near Morgans point. SCORE OF WORKMEN KILLED Bullding In Course of Construction Collapses. St. Petersburg, July 24.—Twenty ‘workmen were killed and a large num- ber injured by the collapse of a build- ing in course of construction on Ra- syesshaya street. Another score of workmen are miss- ing and it is believed they are buried Yesterday’s session of the Bemidji summer school which is being held in the Cestral school building in this city was intensely interesting because of the patriotic nature of the session. W. B. Stewart, county superin- tendent of schools, and Prof. J. H. Hay, conductor of the summer school, decided to devote yesterday forenoon to a patriotic session and with that end in view invited H. W. Bailey, commander of Bemidji G. A. R. Post,and T. J. Martin, also a member of the local post, to speak to the teachers and others who were in attendance at the school. * The high school had been very prettily decorated with flags and bunting and the national colors were present everywhere. Professor Stewart called the gath- ering to order for the patriotic ses- sion and in a few brief words intro- dnced Mr. Bailey as one of the men who had participated in the great civil war and had personally known President Lincoln and other notable abolitionists at the time of the beginning of the great struggle between the north aud the south. Mr. Bailey read his address, which was exceedly patriotic and very interesting, and he began by stating that since time commenced there had always been abolitionists, tyrants and reformers and that there had been someone who had appeared and released those in slavery from bondage. Mr. Bailey referred to Christ as a reformer and an abolitionist of high character. . The speaker stated that he was born in Ohio, which was the head of the abolitionist movement which preceded the civil war, and said that he personally knew many of the noted abolitionists of those days. He valued, more highly than anything he ever possessed, his personal friend- ship with Lincoln, whom he had known well and whom he had often heard speak. Mr. Bailey told of the dark days preceding the war, when God’s peo- ple were torn asunder in the great strife between the north and south; how members of the same church were arrayed against each other. Mr. Bailey said that he knew John Brown and was present at the time Brownstarted his famous ex- pedition to the south. Brown was accompanied by a- dozen followers PATRIOTIC EXERCISES AT SUMMER SCHOOL SESSION H. W.

Two years latter Fort Sumter fell. Mr. Bailey said that Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel, “Uncle Tom’s Cabin,” which clearly depicted slav- H. W. BAILEY, Cnmgmnder R. H. Carr Post G. A. R. ery life in the south, was one of the great factors in rousing abolitionistic sentiment. _ Mr. Bailey referred to the great civil war and its awful toll of human lives, and at what cost the negro was freed. The speaker referred to Abraham Lincoln as the greatest man of modern times, and he elo- quently alluded to the final union of the blue and the gray, when the north and south bad all sectional lines eliminated, which is the con- dition that prevails today, At the conclusion of Mr. Bailey’s principal address, a rising vote of thanks was given the speaker, every person in the room standing, at the request of Professor Hay. In response to a request made by Superintendent Stewart, Mr. Bailey again spoke and told something of horrors of prison life in the south, and stated that he had personally visited Andersonville prison and knew of the horrors which have since been depicted as existing at that place. Conrade Martin stated that he could not talk of the war and Mr. Bailey explained that many of the old veterans could not talk of the terrible experience they had in those trying days. The session closed with the sing- ing of “America,” which was given with a hearty good will. on the calendar.
