VOLUME 10. NUMBER 76. ALL MEN HAVE LATENT CAPACITY Dr. Luccock Tells Bible Conference That Talent is Not Lacking But is Undeveloped. “WE MUST GO FORWARD” Says the Call of God is for Steady Progerss Whether Workers Are Fit or Unfit. DR. GAEBELEIN DISCUSSES JOHN Declares the Book Gives Life Sized Portrait of Jesus Christ as the Divine Son. Addressing a large audience at the afternoon meeting of the Bemidji Bible conference Thursday, Dr. G. N. Luccock spoke on the “Challenge of the Latent” developing the thought that with most men, capacity is not lacking but is latent. “When ws re- spond to God’s call, we come up against duty and then cry ‘I need thee every hour.” " Dr. Luccock based his address on the passage in Exodus which says that when God called Moses, Moses sought to excuse himself by saying “lI am not eloquent,” to which God replied, “I will be thy mouth and will | teach thee what thou shalt say.” “John called men that were not fit-| ted to grapple with the world but he had a message for them and a platform on which to stand. That was what seems foolish to the Greeks and a stumbling block to the Jews.” “We must go forward whether fi or unfit. The call of the Gospel is to go out and get under other peo- ples burdens. We are not to make the effort to bring to God our own talents and resources. When the call comes we are to go with empty hands that He may fill them.” Thursday evening, Dr. Gaebelein left the subject of “Genesis” Tong enough to deliver an address on “The Scope of the Gospel of John.” Dr. Gaebelein said in brief, “In Matthew, Jesus is presented as the king; in Mark, as the servant; in Luke, His manhood is emphasized; but in John He is represented as the son of God. The first is a profile, the second a steel engraving, the third a half- tone, but the book of John gives a life-sized portrait. B “The effects of the gospels may be described as follows: from Matthew, the river of God's grace rises to the ankles; in Mark, it comes to the knees; in Luke, the stream has risen to the loins and is going higher; in John, the depth is unfathomable, “The key note of John is that ‘I came from the Father and I return te the Father.' Jesus dcelared that he was the equal of God and John does also. He said, ‘The works that I do bear witness of me’ and God the Fath- er, bears witness of Christ in the bap- tism in the Jordan, in John 12 when he spoke out of Heaven, and third in the mount of Transfiguration.” This morning, Dr. Gaebelein deliv: ered his fourth address on “Genesis ™ Dr. Gaebelein said that Abraham he- lieved in God and that it was ac- counted to him for righteousness. God was made the father of all the faith- ful. In Abraham’s relationship to Gnd, there was the word of God, His faith and His covenant to Abraham's sced. Abraham was also given the sign ot the covenant. Dr. Luccock followed Dr. Gaebelein saying that the scripture had the habir of anricipating with reference 0 men. God sees the gpossibili Now we are the sons of God bug in anticipation. God is His peoples guide, Me leads often in a round ahonr way, Christ sees more in the man than appears on the surface as is shown by His acceptance of Peter.” Friday, July 26. 8 p. m.—“The Revival of Family Religion,” Dr. Luecock.

SOLD LIQUOR TO INDIANS. Frank Bailey Arrested Thursday Af- ternoon When Caught In the Act. Caught in the act of furnishing Indians with two flasks of whiskey, Frank Bailey, a stranger in the city, was arrested by Officer Bursley at 2:30 yesterday afternoon. He was at once taken before Judge Simons, waived preliminary examination and was bound over to the grand jury. Bailey was dealing with some In- dians who came in from Lake George yesterday with two wagon loads of blueberries. The Indians received $2.50 a bushel for their fruit at local stores and as they had thirty-six bushels to sell had plenty of money when ready to go home. Word was received at police headquarters that they were getting liquor and Burs- ley was sent out on the case. Bailey was caught in the act of handing two flasks of whiskey to William Butcher, an Indian from the Leech Lake reservation who is at Lake George for the blueberry season. Butcher was educated at Carlyle and was accompanied by a fifteen year| old son who has just returned from five years at the government school at Flandreau, S. D. The Indians left for their home last night and said that they would be in the first of next week with more berries. The berries were bought by local mer- chants. RINGDAL THROWS HIS HAT.

Gordon Decide Two Sets of Electors Will Be Sufficient. COLONEL COMING TO STATE FAIR Oyster Bay, July 26.—The national Progressive party will not put a tick- et in the field in Minnesota. This decision was reached Thurs- |day at a conference between Col. Roosevelt and Lieutenant-Governor Sam Y. Gordon of Minnesota and C. J. Knapp of Chisholm, of the Minne- sota legislature. On his return from Sagamore Hill, Mr. Gordon explained that he and Mr. Knapp had comeé east at Col. Roosevelt's invitation to discuss the situation in their state and decide definitely whether an independent ticket should be named. Statement by Gordon., “I am able to state, now that the conference is over,” said Mr. Gordon, “that we will not have a separate ticket. The Progressives are in con- trol of the Republican party. Under the law it is necessary to run the names of Taft and Sherman with the regular Republican candidates for presidential electors. To meet the condition the candidates already chosen, almost all of whom are Roosevelt men, will resign and the same men will be nominated by peti- tion as Progressive Republicans.” Under this plan, it was explained, there will be two sets of Republican candidates for electors on the ballot, one of them running under the names of Taft and Sherman and the other to be designated as Progressive Repub- licans under the name of Roosevelt and his running mate. Mr. Gordon said that the chairman of the Republican state committee, Ed. Smith, would fill the vacancies caused by the resignation of the Roosevelt candidates for electors, was a Taft man and would fill up the ticket with supporters of the presi- dent. Mr. Gordon said Col. Roosevelt probably would go to St. Paul to speak on Sept. 6 at the Minnesota state fair. ) BAND CONCERT TONIGHT. Friday, July 26, 1912. 1. March—Dublin Daisies. . Wenrich 2.

ACCIDENT NARROWLY AVERTED, O E. Bailey, who recently purchas- €d a Ford car from the Northern Au- MAMMOTH CROP NOW IN PROSPECT | Possibility of General Car Shortage Causes Urging of Co-operation of Railroads and Shippers. ADVICE FROM STATE COMMISSION Writes that Loading and Unloading Should Be Handled as Rapidly As Is Possible. R. G. DUN REPORT FAVORABLE Says Northern Minnesota Hag Notic- able Increase in Acreage With Good Yields Seen. Prospects for 2 mammoth crop In .|Minnesota and other Northwestern states are so favorable that another car shortage is feared by the railroads in spite of the 10,000 new cars which are being placed in service on North- western lines. = In past years, a large crop move- ment has meant the shortage of cars for ordinary shipping and especially the handling of coal through this sec- tion of the country. In order to ov- ercome this situation as far as pos- sible, the state railroad and ware- house commission has issued a circu- lar letter to common carriers and shippers asking that each assist the other in working for quick and easy transportation. = The commission has made the fol- lowing twelve suggestions for the use of both shippers and eommon car- riers: 1. Shippers should make demand for cars on the station agent in writ- ing. 2. Load cars ag promptly as pos- sible, and to full capacity of cars or- dered, and not take advantage of the full free time allowed for loading, and should give railway company immediate notice when car is ready for release. 3. See that sufficient grain or oth- er products is on hand to load the cars to their capacity. 4. Not use cars for storage while waiting for deliveries to complete carloads. 3 5. Not place orders for more cars than absolutely needed. 6. Consignees should unload cars as promptly as possible, and not take advantage of the free time allowed for unloading, and should give com- pany immediate notice when car is ready for release. 7. Give disposition of all ecars as quickly as possible after arrival at destination. 8. Railroad companies should see that a car record book is kept at sach station showing names of parties or- dering cars, date and hour ordered, kind of cars required, and date or- ders were filled. 9. Place, without delay, at point ordered, all cars on which disposi- tion is furnished by consignees. 10. See that all loaded cars are moved promptly from point of load- ing to destination, as delays in mov- ing loaded cars have been the cause of serious complaints from shippers in past years. 11. Have necessary repairs made at once to box cars requiring the same. 12. Make arrangement for plenti- ful supply of refrigerator cars for po- tato shipment in cold weather. If the above suggestions are car- ried out, the Commission feels that something will have been accom- plished, which will, no doubt, large- ly remove cause for complaint. Co- operation between the railway com- panies and the shipping public is ab- solutely necessary in order to promote the interests of all parties concerned. By order of the Commission, A. C. Clausen, Secretary. R. G. Dun and company have fs- sued a crop report covering Minne- sota, Wisconsin, the Dakotas and the Missouri slope. According to the re- a uniformly good condition. The grain crops of the Dakotas are in- jured in places by wind and hail but the whole general outlook is euch that all trade is generally stimulated. + Following is the Dun report for tomobile company, narrowly escaped £oing into the lake about.10:30 yes- terday morning wihile learning to drive the car. It is said that Mr. Bailey was headed straight for the lake but the car was saved by the Li- brary building being in his path.
