THE BEMIDJI HINNESOTA TORICAL SOCIETY. * VOLUME 10. NUMBER 77. CLOSING SERVICES HELD TOMORROW Eighth Bemidji Bible Confercuce Will End With Songs and Ad- dress in City Hall. MORNING MEETING IN CHURCEES Dr. Gaebelein to Speak to Presbyter- ians, Dr. Barackman, Methodists, Dr. Blair to Baptists. NO SESSION THIS EVENING Final Address on “Genesis” Delivered This Morning with Joseph as Special Subject. Closing services of the Bemidji Bible conference will be held three churches and the city hall to- morrow. At 10:30 a. m., preaching in services will be held in the Presby-! terian, Methodist, and Baptist ehurch- es and at 8 p. m. there will be a rally | and farewell meeting in the city hall. A young people’s meeting scheduled for the afternoon has been taken from the program. Dr. Gaebelein will adress the city ball meeting in the evening on the “Waiting Heaven and the Waiting Earth.” In the morning he will preach in the Presbyterian church. Rev. Barackman, of Duluth, has been announced as the speaker for the Methodist church and Dr. S. A. Blair, of Duluth, for the Baptist churci during the regular Sunday moraning services. Attendance at the meetings of the conference has kept up all during the week and a crowded house is looked for tomorrow evening. Scme of the ministers in attendance, of whom there have been about ffty, were called away during the middle of the week but their places have been taken by others. Dr. Gaebelein delivered his jast lecture on Genesis this morning tak ing “Joseph” as his individual sub- ject. The doctor said that Joseph is spoken of more in Genesis than any other character because he typifies the spirit of God. “As we read the story of Jesus so we read the story of Jesus Christ. Joseph’s and Jesus’ lives fall into two | | sections; 1, their humiliation; 2, their exaltation. Joseph was beloved of his father—so was Christ; Joseph was separated from his evil minded brethren—so also was Christ; he was hated by his brethren and sold into captivity—so also was Christ hated ‘without cause; Joseph’s mission was to seek the brethren who were lost— s0 also is Christ to seek out and care for the lost. Joseph's shortcomings are not reported in this chapter be- cause God wanted to make him a type to be followed.” In his fifth lecture on “Genesis”, delivered Friday afternoon, Dr. Gae- belein compared God with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. “In Abraham, God appeared as the Father; in Isaac, as the Son; i.|Jacob, as the Holy Spirit. Abrabam was meek and peaceful even when the enemy closed in on him and destroyed his well, which were of much more value in those days| than in modern times. “Jacob may be compared to Christ in the manner in which he won Rachael. He came as a servant and worked seven years for her. So also did Christ come as a servant. Leah typifies the Gentiles and Rachael the Jews. Christ served both Gentiles| and Jews.” Dr. Luccock addressed the meetmg. last evening taking the “Revival ot Family Church” as his subject. His text was based on Genesis 18:19 which starts “I know him that he will command his household.” “It was a great tribute to Abraham for God to know him. because God knew his capacity for responsibility as the head of the household. “As we forsake our sins and care- lessness, we are supposed to bring our families into the church with us. God founded .the Church and the Family. AN other things are man founded. The divine relationship be- tween these two forms a special plea for having the children of the fam- ily raised in the church. The fam- ily is the unit of the church as well as the unit of the nation.” Dr. Luccock ‘made a special plea for the family in the church saying that the children should go to church % Bible class and He was chosen | ADLAI E.

Woods of the state agricultural col- lege had a narrow escape from drowning °late Thursday afternoon while attempting to save the life of Arthur Johnson, fifteen years old, 1529 Van Buren street, St. Paul, who was drowned in a swimming pool in a lagoon just west of the state fair grounds.

Boyd, veterinarian at the agricultur- al college. They told them what had happened and the four hurried hack to the lagoon. Dean Woods and Dr. Boyd got on a log and pushed out from shore, try- ing to find the body of the Johnson boy, hoping to be able to revive him.

Mr. and Mrs. Grace came to this city from Philadelphia, their former home, about eight or ten months ago. According to statements made by Mr. Grace since the shooting, his wife, Wwho is an unusually handsome and attractive woman, used to be one of the numerous sirens of the Great White Way of New York, when she became acquainted with her a few years ago. She fascinated him and, after a brief courtship, he married her and took her to Philadelphia, Where he held a responsible position. Less than a year ago Mr. Grace, who is well to do and has property inter- ests in the South, decided to remove to Atlanta, where he owns some val- uable real estate. Grace and his wife made a good impression and freely mingled in lo- cal social circles. They seemed to be devoted to one another and mno- body ever suspected that bloody trag- edy lurked behind the all-deceiving mask of happiness. The catastrophe came in the night of March 5. What “|really occurred within the secrecy of the Graces’ beautiful home on West Eleventh street, is still a mystery, the solution of which at the coming trial is awaited with intense interest. Beyond a general denial of the charg- es made by her husband Mrs. Grace has volunteered no statement that would throw any light upon the events of that night. Mr. Grace, however, has not been so reticent. According to his statement, made on the day after the shooting, when the doctors expected that his death ‘would be merely a question of a few hours, Mr. Grace was in bed, asleep, when his wife shot him. Awakened by the shot, he found himself power- less to move and begged his wife to call a doctor. She left-the house, ac- cording to Mr. Grace’s story, but in- stead of calling a doctor, she took the next train for Newman, the home of Mr. Grace’s mother. There she wag arrested upon the charge of at- tempted murder, and brought back to Atlanta. Later she was released un- der $5,000 bail. - Mr. Grace was desperately wound- ed and at first the physicians enter- tained no hope that he would live more than a few hours. But his splendid constitution helped him to fight off death. He was taken to a sanatorium where he gradually gain- ed strength, although his lower limbs remained completely paralyzed. Af- ter a month or more he was taken to his mother’s house at Newman, in this state, where he continued to im- prove. Although the physicians have no hope of his complete recovery from the injury caused by the bullet, he ig able to get about with the help of crutches. The victim of the tragedy has dis- played great bitterness against his wife since her arrest and has supplied practically all the evidence in the hands of the prosecution which is-to be used at the trial,. He openly de- clared that his wife was an adven- turess and had duped him into mar- rying her, although she did not love him and cared only for what she could get out of him. _He stated that Wife of Atlanta Contractor Acomsed - Man’s Life Was = Despaired of For
