FOLEY EXPLAINS RELATIONSHIP Of Christ's Followers to the World and That of the World To- ward Them. UNBELIEF THE ROAD TO HELL Positively Wicked Conduct Not as Bad as Lack of Faith Which Sustains Life. Sunday school lesson-—May 5—by or C. W. Foley. Subject—Poverty and Riches.” Luke 6:20 : 1619-30. H Golden Text—Luke 1 5. 1. The Teaching of Luke 6:2 26. It is well that this follows im-| mediately our lesson on the Beati- tudes as recorded in Matthew, for we will all the more be impressed with the difference of text, in which we must recognize the finger prints of | the Holy Spirit. We have noted the | kingly aspect in Matthew’s account, and now we are impressed with the human aspect in Luke's account. What we have before us now is not the manifesto of the King, but first| the relation of His individual fullm\'—l ers to the world, and second the at- titude of the world toward them. What is their relationship? It is that of separation, strangership. They are pilgrims, sojourners, and not citizens, for their citizenship is in heaven. Their investment is all heavenly, and therefore they can not look fov returns from the world. So we see the meaning of “ye poor.” The world has absolutely nothing for them than can in any -way enrich them. What is the attitude of the world toward them It is that of hatred and reproach, the world will even cast away their name as evil. Now, we can understand why they shall weep and suffer hunger. Are they poor? Yes, but they are the rich poor, for the treasury of heaven is open to them, though earth’s treas- ury be tight closed. Heaven's atti- tude then is to fill them with joy ev- en while they weep because of the aftitude of earth. Nothing that God has is too good for them; all that God has is not too much for them. “The sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory to be re- vealed.” Here, indeed, is grace abounding. But not only so, for we as truly see grace overflowing in the denuncia- tion and woe which follows for their persecutors and haters. How true e is to them also. The end is fixed and unalterable, and even grace abonnding can change nothing at the end. 1f we are to profit through grace it must be here and now. This is well brought out in what follows as we are taken in our lesson to Luke P 16:19-30. 2. The Teaching of Luke 16:19- 30. The heart lesson can be had on- 1y by considering this in the light of what has preceded. Jesus had been discoursing on the sin of the money- lover, and the Pharisees being lovers of money scoffed at Him, and justi- fied themselves in the sight of men. What an insult to the Son of God. The Pharisees flattered themselves that the mark of God's favor was up- on them because of their riches. The lesson now seems plain— worldly possessions do not bring one into the favor of God; are not neces- sarily a mark of His pleasure. Upon the other hand, the tendency of rich- es is to cause one to forget God, and. consequently separate from God. The sin of the money-lover is not his money, but his love of money.

Bagley Gets More State Aid. Bagley, April 27.—While in con- sultation with Prof. I. S. Hoy, sup- erintendent of the local schools, up- on the occasion of his recent visit here State Superintendent Aiton ad- vised the former to make application to the state for admission o. that school to what is known as the Holm- berg class, with an increase of $500 a year from the state fund. Profes- sor Hoy did so with the result that the Bagley schools will next year have an additional branch of study, | domestic science, and extra allow- ance of $500 over the present year, . Bricklayers to Adopt Pension Plan. New York, April 27.—Thomas R. Preece, vice-president and general or- ganizer of the Bricklayers and Stone- masons’ International union, sailed today for England, whére he will spend two months in studying ihe pension systems, of various English labor organizations. At its conven- tion last January the bricklayers and stonemasons’ organization decided to adopt an old age pension plan. The results of Mr. Preece’s investigations abroad will be used in determining the various features of the proposed pension system and later the plan will be submitted to the membership of the organization for ratification. * Favors Issuing Patents. ‘Washington, April 27.—The, sub- committee on Indian affairs, com- posed of Representative Carter of Ok- lahoma, Post of Ohio and Miller of Duluth, today submitted to the full committee a favorable report on Rep- resentative Steenerson’s bill, direct- ing the secretary of the interior to issue patents to lands on the White Earth reservation, title to which has not been attacked in the courts. The bill. as originally introduced, direct- ed the issue of these patents within ninety days, but this time was ex- tended to six months by the sub-com- mittee. The bill is to be considered | by the full committee on Monday and the indications are that the sub-com- mittee reports will be adopted. R O R R R R R R R R CRCRORCY ¢ AGRICULTURAL SPECIAL. ¢ R R R R R R R RO R R Y The Northern Pacific railway in co-operation with the State Agricul- tural college will operate an “Agri- cultural Special” train between Du- luth and Staples and on the M. and I. from Brainerd to International Falls, beginning Monday, May 27th, and continuing during two weeks. The train will make stops at the more im- portant stations, stops being from one to four hours in length. The train will be made up of cars for livestock, baggage cars for farm machinery, implements and apparatus for demon- stration purposes, passenger coaches arranged for lectures, and a business car where the lecturers will be taken care of. The purpose will be to demonstrate the best methods of farming adapted to northern Minnesota, and to pro- mote the developmént of agriculture in a positive and practical way. Farm animals, such as dairy cows, pigs and poultry, showing breeds adapted to different uses, will be carried on the train and exhibited, and demonstra- tions given at each station. Dairy come to represent life; life consistsintensils, tools for barn, garden and in it. . The marginal reading of Luke 12: 15 is enlightening (R. V.)—*For ev- en in a man’s abundance his life is not from the things which he pos- sesseth.”” A man may make friends of the mammon of unrighteousness (Luke 16:9) but it is when he makes his money sub-serve the interests of righteousness. The rich man is just as dependent upon God as is the poor man, and the deceitfulness of riches (Matt. 13:22) is just that which keeps him from realizing it, and makes him feel independent of God. The really poor are’described in Jer- emiah 5:4 and Luke 12:13-21. field, farm machines, barn and poul- try devices, and samples of seeds, will be exhibited and demonstrated. At each stop lectures applicable to the agricultural needs and conditions in that locality will be given by special- ists from the State Agricultural Col- lege. Methods of land clearing, kinds of crops, and ways of farming, will be discussed, and farmers are invited to make the fullest use of the train and to take advantage of this opportunity to confer with agricultural experts regarding their farm problems. Op- portunity will be given those inter- ested to ask questions on live farm topics, in fact, inquiries will be in- The life of this rich man was one (Continued on last page.)

Miss Donna Davis, of Park Rapids, won first place in the dra- matic ‘contest and it is said that her work was so good, that her percent- age overcame the differences between Park Rapids and Bemidji in the oth- er events, making the home team win by eight points. Miss. McGregor and Hiram Simons each had but a small margin over the winner of second place in their events but Miss Davis’ work was pro- nounced excellent by the judges and she was given a high percentage. Be- midji had the banner last year and plans are already being laid to bring it back at the next contest. In spite of the fact that the per- centages were not high enough to win the trophy, High school students feel satisfied with the result as the team clearly demonstrated its ability. Miss McGregor is a sophomore but Messrs. Ripple and Simons each grad- uate this year. TEN CENTS PER WEEK INTENSIVE METHODS PRAISED BY HILL Says Fn.mer_ _cm Make More Money By Working an Eighty Than on a Quarter Section. SUBMITS FIGURES AS A PROOF Average Per Acre on 160 Shown to Be $5.70, But $14.50 Through Better Cultivation. HITS PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM States We Are Educating Children Along Lines of No Use Later in Their Life, During the course of his address Wednesday night, J. J. Hill presented some figures tending to show that in- tensive cultivation brings better re- sults than extensive. Mr. Hill said in part: “I made a calculation this evening and I have it right here. One great trouble is that farmers try to bite off more than they can chew. They want to cultivate more land than they are able. Take the man on 160 acres, and let us assume that With his indifferent way of cultivat- ing it, that his seed, cultivation, har- vesting and threshing and marketing will cost him $6 an acre, and I am not far out of the way. That would amount to $960. If we take an av- erage of the state of Minnesota, which would be thirteen bushels of wheat to the acre, that would give him 2,080 bushels at, say, ninety cents a bushel, and that would give him $1,872. Deduct $960 and he has $912 for his crop. If he does his own work, he is entitled to pay for his own time and his team, just the same asAf he hiref it s “With ‘proper - sélection of seed, with proper cultivation, he should have twenty-five bushels of wheat to the acre, and on a well cultivated farm, that is a small yield. Why should we be satisfied, with a com- paratively new soil as we have .in Minnesota, with twenty-five bushels to the acre, when England, on land that has been cultivated for 1,600 years, gets thirty-four, Holland thir- ty-four or thirty-five, and Denmark forty-two to forty-seven. “Take twenty-five bushels on eighty acres, he will, at ninety cents a bushel, get $1,800. I make him spend $2 an acre more. The seed doesn’t cost him any more. It doesn’t cost him any more to. harvest. But I want him to spend $2 more in the cultivation and I charge him up with $8 an acre and that leaves $1,160. The man cultivating the 160 acres gets $5.75 an acre and the man cul- tivating the 80 acres gets $14.50 an acre profit above the costs of doing the work, and if he does it himself and he can do more of it on 80 acres than he can on 160 he is more inde- pendent and he has 80 acres left for pasture or summer farrow or what- ever else. “I was talking with a friend of mine yesterday. He has quite a large factory in St. Paul and ome in St. Cloud. He employs a lot of people Wwho want to live at home with their parents, but he said he was begin- ning to have difficulty in finding young people to work in the factor- ies. We are having difficulty in find- ing the help we want and we may EXTRA DR. PEARSONS DEAD, - Minneapolis, April 27.—(Special Pioneer wire service)—Dr. Danfel Pearsons, the noted Chicago philan- thropist, ‘dfed in a Chicago sanitari- um this morning. He died a poor man. ‘During his life, he spent many years in giving away his fortune to small colleges and died a poor man. Dr. Pearsons was worn of Scotch- Irish parents April 14, 1820, in Brad- ford, Vermont. At the age of twen- ty-one, lie entered Dartmouth and re- mained two years. Following this he studied medicine and later practiced in Massachusetts.. He went west in 1857 with a capital of $5,000 which he had saved. In Chicago he en- gaged in the real estate and money lending “business and in seventeen years loaned upwards of $20,000,000 to capitalists there. 1n-1877 he retired from active bus- 88 and announced the intention of spending the remainder of his days in giving away his wealth. He dis- tributed more than $5,000,000 among, have to start somewhere else. It is not a new thing, but is practically an every day occurrence that there is more work than there are people to take the places, and still we are in our public school system, trying to educate many of our young people to an extent and on lines that when they leave the schools, most of what they have learned is of little value to them. Raps Public School System. “I was talking to our comptroller the other day and said, ‘Where do you get the young people for your counting department?’ He has any- where from eight to nine hundred. ‘How many of them are from the high school?” ‘Well,’ he said; ‘as a matter of fact, we get very few from the high school but we do get all we want.’ I sald ‘Why?’ He said, ‘They don’t bother us much. ' A great many come and I give them a problem in long division with a divisor of three or four figures, and as a rule that is enough to discourage them. They don’t know, and they quit, and we don't have any further trouble with them.” “The little red school house in the country will do a lot better than that. HISTORICAL |
