FIFTH SERMON ON [seve by usine various contingent| SOCIAL PROBLEMS Rev. Dr. Briggs Delivers Talk on the Apology of the Sneak. On account of the lack of space the Herald-Review did not publish the last sermon on social christian- ity and social problems, by Rev. Dr. Briggs, entitled ‘The Brotherliness of Jesus Christ,” ithe general theme of which tended to show great love that Jesus bore the masses. He delight- ed to call himself the son of man and the revernd doctor went on to show that while other great men of the age had many good attributes, Jesus Christ was perfect in all ways. The title.of the reverend doctor's sermon Sunday evening,which was th fifth of a series of six, was “The Apology of the Sneak” he taking for his text Judges 5-15, 16: “By the water courses of Reuben there were great resolves and great searchings of heart. Why settest thou among tthe sheep folds to hea the piping of the flock?” The sermon is in reality a rebuke to the theroist, the critic and the sentimentalist. Dr. Briggs said: The children of Israel, on account of their unfaithfulness, were oppressed for twenty years by Jaiben. Then they cried unto God andDeborah’ andBarak arose |toj lead! them to freedom. De- borah in her great song brings out the character of the several tribes of Rueben. She shows how some of them promptly entered upon the stru. gle for liberty and how others were miserably indifferent and unpatrotic, and im the text a few vivid strokes show that whilst Reuben was deep- ly interested and ajitated by that which transpired he refrained from taking any actual part in the fight. There was great searching of heart; there were great debates; there were great resolves on the part of Rue- ben, but he never took action. He stayed among the sheep folds to hear the pipings of the flock. The Reu- benites are numerously represented in the modern world and it is in- structive to consider the merits of their case. “These men are full of thought, rich in ideas, masterly in systems, but they find it impossible to pass from reflection to effort. Thought is large, action is insignificant;thought is swif action is tardy; thought is triumph- ant, action iis full of imterruptions and failure, and so the theorist abi- des in his arm chair, absorbed in pictures he sees én the fire.” The revernd doctor then admin- istered a mild rebuke to the mod- ern theorists, stating that the clubs, debating ieties, etc., would pass resolutions condeming the actions of those who were attempting to make the world better, but lacked the sta- mina to put their own theories into axecution. ‘He stated it was neces- sary to have theorists and sentimen- talists, but those who lack the en- ergy to do good among their fellow men were a dead loss to themselves ms well as to the community in which they live. Inconclusion Dr. Briggs said: “Let us not waste our lives im opinion, discussion or criticism, but deny our- selves in daily efforts, seeing posi- tive good. We must grasp the sword and fight. We must handle the trowel nd build. We must go forth with seed and sow. We must put in the sickle and reap. We must pray, give, toil, weep that we may bless. Our Master did not redeem us by words, but by tears and ‘blood. Let us with fewest) words take otu our cross and follow him. STATE MAY BOND OWN EMPLOYES Se Difficulty of a Prison Contractor Leads to Suggestion of In- demnity Fund. The next session of the legislature “may be asked ito create a fund, the imterest of which ‘will be used to in- demnify the state for any mismanage- ment of its properties or moneys. Pra tically, it would amount ito the state pecoming its own bonding company. Attorney General George T.Simpson said that the plan has been suggested to him and that he does not regard its adoption as impossible. The sug- gestion has been made in connection with the bonding difficulties exper- ienced by 0. H. Olson, who has the ‘contract for the mew $3,000,000 state prison, at Stillwater, “In the end” said Mr. ‘Simpson “the state has to pay the bonding fee any- way, as the contractor simply adds it to his bid.” Mr. Simpson mentioned that self- bonding of employees is practiced by several concerns, as for example the ‘United States Steel corporation. Under an opinion given by former Attorney General ©. T. Young, the state already bonds some of its em- funds to pay ithe premiums. This is done in the case of the state treas- urer. A majority off Minnesota coun- ties also) pay for the bonds of the men who handle their funds. Mr. Olson has not yet made a satis- factory arrangement with the bonding companies. They now asw an in- demnifying bond in addition to the $12,000 premium. Assessors Meet. Assessors of Itasca county will meet tomorrow in the office of County Au- ditor Spang for the purpose of receiv- ing their books and instructions for spring work. Mr. Spang has the lists in readiness to turn them over. Will Soon Begin Shipping. The Canisteo district—the western [Mesaba range field which the Steel corporation has been developing the past few years—will be a heavy ship- per this season.

Much will be shipped directly from tthe mines to the docks and the remainder will be treated at the Steel corporation’s mammoth con- centrator or washer. Work on the concentrator is being pushed to the utmost and it is expected that ores can be treated {at tthe plant not later than June 1. Stripping operations have been extensive all winter and large areas of ore have been added to the amounts previously uncovered in this district. One of the shippers this year will be the North Star of Tacon- ite. The earliest shipment from this; western Mesaba will be from the Can isteo, Walker and Holman properties.

The first grain threshing machine for that part of Itasca county west of Cohasset, arrived in Deer River this morning and Len Hun‘er a young and enterprising farmer of the Deer Lake settlement, is the! proud owner of the machine, who has gained the most notable distinction of having made fhe mos important, move in fhe’ agricultural development history of this fertile section. The machine is ene of the latest im proved J. I. Case makes and was sold to Mr. Hunter by Agent E. J. Galla- gher of the Grand Forks agency. The farmers north of Deer River have been talking for sometime of getting a tresher into the set- tlement as a mumber of them are get- ting acreage enough under cultiva- tion to warrant considerable grain raising, and ws the larger stock rais- ers are being put at a loss in the hig prices charged them for feed, the rais ing of their own grain means a great saving to the farmers, as a conven- ience, and the smaller agricultural- ists being encouraged to enlarge on their plans, the enterprising move of Mr. Hunter is a blessing to the coun- try. Mr. Hunter is a good road contrac- tor and his first object object in pur- chasing the machine was to use the traction engine as power in operating the road grading machine. He will put the engine to working at onca on the Metke-Johnson road north of Moose Jake where he has about two miles of grading to do. To Give Program.
