W. Foley. Subject—“The Appointment of the | Twelve.”—Mark 3:7-19. S Golden Text—John 15:16 (R.V.). 1. Grace outstanding—This is that which meets us on every hand that we may know the hopeless con- dition of man, and the matchless love (John 3:16) which has provid- ed salvation full and free. Nothing could possibly eclipse grace, for we see it working and shining in spite of the“unbelief and hardness of heart so characteristic of men. In our last lesson we found men opposing Jesus in His seeking and saving the most, and in the fifth verse of this same chapter we read that he was distressed over their hardness of heart, and now we see divine power flowing forth to meet the effects of sin again—grace unquenched and unquenchable. We may reject it, and thus deprive ourselves of all its blessed benefits, but the beneficient stream of God’s love will flow ‘re- sistlessly on, for some will believe, be saved and blest. Let us not miss the lesson here so evident—God’s provision in Christ meets all the effects of sin, in a world disorganized and ruined by it—noth- ing else can ever do it. This applies animate and inani- mate, and scripturally and logically enough to the rule of the world. 2. The presence of Satan—The |striking thing here is that Satan ap- pears patronizingly, and that Jesus silences him at once, not standing in need of patronage. It is indeed God’s plan that Jesus be made {known to the world, but not through Satan or any-of his representatives. How poorly His people have learn- ed this, but on the contrary con- gratulate themselves when they find themselves patronized by the world Nicholson, Fergus Falls, of the District. Supt. Norton.

Nor- Wasted Talent. “Mrs. Wuppsey’s friends think she would have made a great actress if she had adopted the stage as a pro- fession.” “Well, they may be right.

The days of iSatan’s persecution are past, and the deys of his patronage are upon us— “ hat a testing for the people of God. | The action of Jesus as in verse twelve is interesting and suggestive in the light of one particular word— “charged.” This word “epetima,” as it is in the original, is commonly rendered “rebuke” in the New Testiment, and so Darby in his excellent transula- tions has it—“He rebuked them muen that they might not make Him manifest.” The word is one which seems to carry with it a penalty. The latter part of the word—*tima,” is a Greek word meaning price, and Satan can depend upon it that God will not rest until the tull price of his deed in Eden is paid. If the wages of sin is deatn surely the old.originator of sin and death will not be spared the “lake which burneth with fire and brimstone.” 3. The attitude of the people— A contrast. This is brought out in | verse ten.—They “pressed upon him.” {"The wora pressed is more literally— fell. If we have difficulty with the word believe, we can find help here, Here they mnot only pressed him physically, but they were casting themselves on Him for healing. What they were doing for physi- cal health we are told to do for cleansing from sin—*Believe (fall on) the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” The work of God | (John 6:28, 29) then is not that we do something, but that we let Jesus do something for us. Unbelief is man's effort to save himself, belief is man’s cessation of effort, that God in Christ may save i Man lets go and falls on the One able and willing to save. The contrast lies in the very few that flock for salvation as compared with the many who came for bodily heal- he word plagues here is litteral- The original means criminals.) We have the scourge. Disease was thus consider- .|ed a stroke from the divine hand. When sin is no more, disease and suffering will be n6 more. (Rev. 21:45.) 4. Jesus chooses those who shall make Him known. Significant words indeed are ‘those in verse thirteen. Self appointed preachers of the Word are not acceptable then—“whom he And again, called ones are responsible—‘they went un- to him.” We should have an open ear for the call of God, but should ibe very careful not to intrude. The number called is significant— twelve, and in scripture stands for the manifest rule of God. The mean- ing of the names also—Matthew means gift of God. Andrew——manly. It is manly indeed to come to Christ. Thaddaeus, beloved child, or praised. He is the Judas of John 14:22, Luth- er calls him—der fromme Judas (the good Judas.) Look up all the names. .

NO PLAYGROUNDS IN THE CAPITAL|, Washington Children Not ,Provid'ed for By Any Appropriation of Congress, PRETTY GROVE IS LOST Valuable Oak Trees Cut And Now A New Family Hotel Is to Be Built. ] WANT CHICKENS CARED FOR Bill Introduced to Force Common Carriers to Feed and Water Stock in Transit. By GEORGE CLINTON. /I Washington.—Washington, with all her monuments and statues, good, bad and Indifferent, and all her vacant land, still has not space left in which to erect public memorials, and it ought to be said also that projects more necessary to the public health than marble statues, like playgrounds for the children, cannot be thought of apparently becamse of lack of room. For two years by means of private subscriptions, for example, a little grove at the corner of Fourteenth street and Columbia road ‘has been used as a playground and fitted up for the children. It was covered with o8k trees of priceless value, as far as their shade qualities are concerned, and was one of the most picturesque spots in the city. It is in the heart of a thickly settled district, where it i8 a cruelty to keep children within doors and a continual danger to let them out on the stireets. Nevertheless congress, which would spend $75,000 for a Federal building In a town of 281 inhabitants, neg- nected fo secure this breathing space. The magnificent oak trees are being cut down, and where last summer the place was alive with children, a fam- fly hotel will stand. Many Monuments Projected. Should congress be In a glving mood toward the shades of the de- parted, it is a question where suit- able sites for memorials could be ob- tained. The demand for space is in- sistent, and the senate committee on library. has record of no less than eight requests, while the house com- mittee doubtless has as many more. A bill appropriating $100,000 for a statue of Alexander Hamilton already has passed the senate. The sum of $50,000 is wanted for a statue to Matthew Fontaine Maury, the American naval officer whose sclentific work descriptive of the sea is among the classics. A memorial to the signers of the Declaration of In- dependence is asked for, with an ap’ propriation of $10,000 for plans alone. The sum of $1,600 is suggested for a small statue to Capt. Charles Wilkes, who 1s chiefly celebrafed in popular recollection for taking Mason and Slidel], the Confederate commission- ers, from the British mail steamer Trent in 1861. The United States government did not back up Captain Wilkes in his act of taking the Con- federate commissioners off the Brit- ish vessel. In fact, nearly all diplo- mats thought, and think today, that Wilkes acted withovt proper authority under international law and that the Confederate and the British govern- ments had a perfect right to protest, and that the United States authorl- tles could do nothing else than to dis- avow the naval officer’s act. Admirers of Major Andrew S. Ro- wan, U. 8. A, who is stfll living, have put in a bill appropriating $5,000 for some memorial of his famous exploit in 1898, when he was sent by, Pres!- dent McKinley to Cuba to communi- cate with General Garcla, the leader of the Cuban revolution. He made a landing from an open boat mear Tur- quino Peak and with much difficulty succeeded In reaching Garefa. Mann Is Friend of Poultry, Representative Mann of Illinols, who is the leader of the Republican minority on the floor of the house, has introduced a bill to require all common carriers engaged In inter- state commerce to provide food and water for poultry in transit, and to prevent suffering from over-crowding by providing crates of sufficient size to be humane and to be open on at least three sides 8o that proper vent- lation may be assured. Congress has acted before this on behalf of cattle in transit and now It is proposed to extend the humane effort to chickens. One comgressman said that because chickems wore feathers it was supposed that they were not susceptible to cold. He added, however, that feathers, while warm, did.not provide food and drink. The bill has gone to the proper com- mittee and there is a fair chance of its passage. Being Pressed. “I like to examine the dictionary during spare moments.

Flatley was charged with having his saioon’ open after tours-but the jury evidesfly thought that such was not the case. - At the opening of court ‘this morning, the county attorney moved the trial of the second indictment against Edwin Gearlds and Judge Stanton directed that the case be continued until the fall term. He also took the same action on the second Flatley case. Judge Stanton made substantially the following statement: “It is the opinion of the court that it will be inadvisable and unwise to prolong this term for the trial of these cases. “This conclusion is based ypon the fact that great expense will necessar- ily be incurred in summoning jurors by special venires, and upon the further fact that the work of the court for the next few months seems so heavy and urgent that no more time can properly be devoted to the trial of jury cases here. A heavy court calendar awaits attention here and I must open the term at Walker on April- 23rd. The Itasca term is now in progress and will continue several weeks. Then follows the Aitkin, Crow Wing, Hubbard, Clear- water, Koochiching and a special term at Baudette. “Nearly two weeks have been de— voted to the trial of these liquor cases at a heavy expense because of the difficulty in securing jurors. “Under all the circumstances, I do .not feel warranted in trying the remaining cases at this term and I therefore now order that they be con- tinued to the next general term.” One Bugbear of Family Life. - “The thing I just hate about being | at home,” sald a young business wom- ' an, “is that you never have anything of your own at Rome. Everything seems to belong to the whole fam- fiy” - It 1s unfortunate that in many fam- ilies that the members are mnot taught to respect each other’s prop- erty or privacy. It adds to every day annoyance and firritatiens to have gome one else writé with your per- sonal pen and spofl its point, or some one else to borrow your new kimono, or your last envelope, just when you need it yourself. Family life would lose many of its bugbears if children in early life were taught to respect each other’s private belongings.

A laborer contracted with e farmer to work during the summer, but he tired of the job and walked off. Later he returned and demanded the balance of his pay. The farmer had been unable to get another hand, all being engaged elsewhere, and he claimed his crop was injured from Jack of attention more than the wages due amounted to, and he refused to pay him. The laborer sued him, but lost the case. He was very angry, and openly sald he would get even. The farmer owned a bunch of fine cattle and was amazed and indignant one morning to find their tails had been cut off. He sued the laborer and brought witnesses who had heard him threaten revenge, hut the evidence was circumstantial and the case was dismissed for want of proof. Later. the farmer and a neighbor were look- ing at the ‘cattle, and the farmer re- marked he did not know what to do with them. “Well,” gald the nelghbor, “I thiak you better dispose of them by whole- sale, for it is certain you can never retail them.”—Norman H.

S00 CONTEMPLATING CHANGES According to a statement made in Duluth yesterday by W. P. Kenney, fi” eral traffic mafager of the Great thern. Uoad; -the . Duluth-Grand shorter running scheduyle. Accord- ing to his statement, No. 34, which now arrives'in Duluth at 6:35 will arrive at 6:20, making conections with Duluth-Chicago trains. No 36 will be held in Grand Forks for con- nection with the Oriental Limited and will leave there at 10:45 instead of 9:10 as at present. It will arrive in Duluth at 8 a. m. instead of 7:15 as at present. These timé changes cannot be con- firmed st the local Great Northern offices but it is said that such changes have been contemplated. If these improvements in the service are made it will mean that the night train from Grand Forks will arrive in Be- midji about an hour later than at present,. and the running time to Duluth will be cut nearly an hour: The Duluth traffic commission has a through train to Winnipeg via Thief River Falls and have it connect with' their Chicago train. This ser- vice wilil come through Bemidji and give faster service to eastern points as the Soo conects with the Northern Pacific at Moose Lake. It is also said that the Great Northern is contem- plating a Duluth-Winnipeg direct service and that will also come through Bemidji if it is established. Willing te Accommodate.

He said that late one after- noonhenvonuuwlhr!-mlthn‘ it was 4:30 o'clock the following morn- | ing before the jury agreed upon a | | verdict. | “I walted for the verdict,” said the Justice, “and after it was returned I told the jurors that as it was possible that most of them were married men if they desired I would give to each & certificate that he had been detained ntil 4:30 o'clock in the morning on | .ury service. - | “The jurors consulted together for 2 foew minutes,” continued the justice, “and then the foreman arose and gald: “We thank you for your consid- | eration and appreciate the kindness of your offer and desire to say that it your honor needs a certificate to the | effect that you were detained until 4:30 ‘o'clock in the morning waiting for our verdict we will gladly so cer- tify.” The justice llllfl!y declined this kind offer with thanks, and jast as hastily adjourned court—Law Notes.

FROM THOSE THAT KNEW HER Mrs, Mulcahey Had References That Could Leave No. Doubt as to Thelr Genuineness. Bridget had successfully measured up to all the other theoretical require- ments of Mrs, Honeymoon, and that good little lady was on the point of engaging her as cook and general ‘houseworker, when the thought of the ‘Woman’s references flashed across the young housekeeper's mind. “I like your looks,” she said, “and everything you say about your abili- ties, Bridget, fits in with the exact requirements of Mr. Honeymoon and myself. The wages you ask seem reasonable, and we are perfectly will- ing to pay them, but, of course, I must have something in the nature of a reference before finally deciding. 1 suppose you have something of that kind?” “Oh, yis, mum,” replied the candi- date; “sure and Ol wouldn't t'Ink of She dived deep down into the pock- et of her dress, and after consider- able fumbling about therein managed to fish up a much-worn old envelope, from which she extracted & plece of | paper. - This she Handed to Mrs. | Honeymoon.
