The Pilgrims.
The pigrims had a very pleasant
day last Sunday, the visit to the M.

with the Sundoy school sessions, as
the pastor went to conference at
Lincoln. Then we called at Menon
ite church where we took part in
their services, giving a short talk,
which was kindly received. The eve
ning found us at Trinity Lutheran
church where a large and very at
tentive audience listened to the read- j
ing and explaining of the Augsburg .

Cities of the Bible.
Antioch. Acts 11:26 The origin
of the name "Christian" goes back
to this ancient city, the capitol of
Syria. The good news of the birth
of a Savior was to be for "all peo
ple" Luke 2:10, but the apostles had
preached so far to Jews only. Acts
11:19. The prosecution that fol
lowed the death of Stephen, scat
tered the deciples and they went
north into Phenice, Cyprus and An
tioch. Here some of the converted
men of Cyprus and Syrlne, spoke to
the Grecians and a great number
turned to the Lord, Acts 11:21. This
ingathering of the Gentiles was re
ported to the church at Jerusalem,
the mother church which delegated
Barnabas, to investigate, he came,
he saw and was glad. Barnabas see
ing the field white fr the harvest,
immediately acting on the impulse,
went forth to find a preacher, cap
able to cope with the situation,
knowing of only cne man. that
could fill the place, Saul of Tarsus,
he found him, and succeeded to
bring him to Antioch, installed him
as preacher, and for a full year
preached Christ, hence the neckname
"Christian." "Christ men," "Christ
followers." the name Christmas was
adopted by the church to this day.
These converts could not be called
"Jesus," so the name was given by
s-offers at the religion of Jcsu3
Christ.
The city is significant for the fol
lowing incidents: (a) one of the
first deacons of the Church of Christ
was a prcsilite Nicolas of Antioch.
(b) the first foreign missionary so
ciety was .former here, which sent
out two men, Barnabas and Saul,
Acts 13:2, who is able to properly
analyze and describe the result of
this movement! Will Saul, or Paul
ever be evaluated by the church or
the world? Will Paul ever pet the
credit, that his work and sacrifice
deserve? If not by any man. then
by his own inner consciousness.
Hear what he says: "I have fought
a good fight, I have finished my
course, I have kept the faith, hence
forth' there is laid up for me a
crown or righteousness, which thu
Lord, the righteous judge, shall give
me at that day. 2nd. Tim. 4. 7:S.
(c) the cause of the first great
church council held at Jerusalem was
started in Antioch, Acts 15, (read
the whole chapter.) (dp Tb first
dicention between Paul and Birna
bas arose here about John Mark and
insister of Gospel team, we find two
Paul and Silas, Barnabas and John
Mark, Acts 15 36:40. (e) It was in
Antioch that Paul had his quarrel
with Peter, who had not acted sin
cerely, even Barnabas sided in with
Peter, but Paul won the day. Gal. 2,
11:14. (f) After laboring here with
great success Paul faces a bitter per
secution, Act. 15. 50. But this also
was for the furtherance of the gos
pel. These apostles might have stay
ed on in Antioch, and had an easy
time, but the gcspel was to be for
"all people." So expelled from their
coast they go to Iconium; they were
not dismayed or discouraged, rather
were filled with joy and with the
Holy Ghost. The Christian church
owes much to Antioch, as seen by the
foregoing.

ELKS E2IJ0Y DIUNEX
From Thursday's Dully
Last evening the goli'ing members
of the Elks enjoyed another of the
pleasant "little tournaments" at the
Country club and in which the group
piloted by W. C. Soennichsen was
winners, they sweeping away their
foes, Lester Gaylord being the only
member of the losing side that was
able to retire his opponent but the
margin was not large enough to over
come the other losses. The losers
were the hosts at a fine chicken pie
dinner that all enjoyed to the ut
most and following which there was
a fine social hour enjoyed. In the
contests in putting, the ladies scored
a victory over the men of the party
while in the individual contests Mrs
Frank Bestor was the most successful
lady and C. A. Rosencrans, the most
successful man.
QUITS EACE FOE GOVERNOR
Dallas. Tex. Dr. George C. Butte
of Austin, nominated by Texas re

day to remain in the race, withdraw

here in special session. Dr. Butte
said he was "thoroly convinced" he

Eucharistic
Meeting Draws a
40,000 Crowd
Cites Frequent Communion as the
Best Preparation of Youth to
. Meet Temptation
Omaha Forty thousand members
of the Catholic laity Wednesday
night jammed every inch of space
within the confines of the Creighton
university football stadium to take
part in the eucharistic mass meet
ing in progress here.
The mass meeting, under auspices
of the Holy Name society, began
with the colorful processional to the
strains of the "Pontifical March."
With the singing of the national an
them by the assembled thousands the
ceremonies were opened.
George Cardinal Mundelein in the
opening radio talk of the mass meet
ing, broadcast over a national net
work, cited frequent communion by
the growing youth of the world as
tbe best preparation to fit themselves
to meet temptations.
"Pius X brought forward the
blessed sacrament as Christ Our
Lord's and our greatest ally. He
ordained, commended, counseled,
commanded two great and princi
pal practices: Early communion for
little children, frequent communion
for older Christians. Again and
again he pleaded 'let the little chil
dren come unto me. for theirs is the
kingdom of Heaven',' Cardinal Mun
delein said.
A Powerful Influence.
"Had we continued along the old
lines with our wooden Christianity
of communion at Easter time and
but little more, with our children
kept away from the spiritual nour
ishment until j-outh had far advanc
ed, habits formed and practices, good
or bad, ingrown, how poorly they
would have been equipped to meet
the multiplied temptations of our
day, how little our resistance would
have been built up to repeal the at
tacks on our spiritual health and
life," he continued.
"More than this, the example cf
cur Catholic men in frequent at
tendance at communion is sure to
exert a powerful influence for good
on those about them.
At the start of his address, Car
dinal Mundelein read a telegram of
greeting from President Hoover. It
read:
"I will be obliged if you will ex
press my cordial greetings to the
meeting this evening cf the National
Eucharistic congress over which, I
am informed, you will preside, and
my appreciation of the value to cur
spiritual ideals of every religious ob
servance in the life of our nation
which are indispensible to the foun
dation of the social order of our en
during political institution."
Cardinal Mundelein was fol
lower by Judge Martin T. Manton
of New York, who spoke of the in
comprehensible in religion.
"Our nonbelievers should not be
distressed or disturbed when they
face the incomprehensible in relig
ion. Everyday life brings us into
contact with nature's incomprehen
sible and adequately establishes that
we must encounter endless mysteries
on every side of our journey in this
natural life," he said.
"Is it any wonder that if we see
so much of the natural world is
closed against us, that we should ex
pect the supernatural world to be?
Why should we not expect greater
difficulties in trying to penetrate the
mj-sterie3 of the religion in seeking
grace and glory?" he asked.
At the afternoon session of the
clergy the subject of the modesty
of present day dress of women was
brought before the gathering.
On this subject, Rev. Fr. Athen
asius Steck said: "The spirit of li
berty in its exaggerated form and
the lock of delicacy of Christian
modesty lost thru contact with life
in the midst of an overwhelmingly
large neo-pagen population that is
most Christian in name only, has
made even ordinarly good Catholic
women and young ladies unconscious
of the indecency of modern dress and
its offense against public Christian
morality." State Journal.

BESSEY NURSERY PROVING
PINES GROW IN SANDHILLS
The unknowing traveler who jour
neys along the highway in the vi
cinity of Halsey, Nebraska, thinking
he has a long stretch of sandhill
road ahead of him, is amazed when
he comes in sight of pine-clad hills
that loom from the roadside much
like the forests of the timbered states.
He has sighted Bessey nursery on
the Nebraska National Forest.
This forest was established by the
federal government to demonstrate
that although vegetation is more
sparse than anywhere else in sandhill
Nebraska, the region nevertheless is
well adapted to afforestation. It was
brought about through the insist
ence of the late Dr. Charles E. Bessey,
professor of botany at the University
of Nebraska and several times its
acting chancellor, who, as early as
1SS0, suggested the possibility of
converting the sandhills into forests
of coniferous timber. Hailed at rst
as the dream of an academician, the
idea was regarded by many as prepos
terous. But Dr. Bessey knew his
plants and his trees and the soils
and climatic conditions which pro
duced them, and he preserved in the
advocacy of the development until

created by President Roosevelt in
1902. Even then it was generally
regarded as an experiment which had
but little hope of sucecss.
Foresters themselves who had been
accustomed to work among great tow
ering trees wondered what sort of a
fool's errant they had been sent on
when they looked over the barren
hills which appeared to be produc
tive only of bunches of grass and
cactus. "Scotts Folly" it wa3 called
in the forest service, with little re
gard for the dignity of the first sup
ervisor after whom it was popularly
but derisively named. Nevertheless
the forest from the beginning hts
been intelligently handled and de
veloped. The experimental stage is
long since past and today the forest
stands on the records of the agricul
tural department as one of the most
important undertakings it has ever
entered upon.
There are two divisions of the Ne
braska National Forest. The smaller
one of the two hut the one on which
efforts so far have been chiefly cen
tered, is the Bessey division of 90,
105 acres, mostly in Thomas county
but extending four miles into Blaine
county. It is shaped something like
a wedge, bounded on the two broad
side3 by the Middle Loup and Dismal
rivers, which come together at Dun

McCormick, republican nominee for

questions Wednesday night of the

am O'Neil, independent candidate for
the senate. The league called Mrs.
McCormick "unsatisfactory" when
she announced that, tho personally
dry, she would abide by the result
of the state referendum on prihibi
tion. "Why does the Anti-Saloon league
enter Illinois politics to defeat me,"
Mrs. McCormick asked as the first
question, "on the pretense that it ob
jects to my stand cn the referendum
when it makes no such fight on the
four dry senators in other states who
have taken positions identical with
my own?"
"Will the Anti-Saloon league can
didate ignore the result of the poll?"
she continued.

first time approximately 1,000,000
young trees. Several other million
were planted in the forest.
The first planting in the Bessey di
vision was in 1903 and consisted of
70,000 jack pines and 30,000 western
seedlings. That was the beginning
of the 15,000,000 trees which today
cover the hillsides of about twenty
square miles. Jack pines grow about
a foot and a half a year. Western
yellow develops slower than the jack
pine the first six years and then goes
ahead, sometimes attaining a growth
of two feet a year. The maximum
height of the trees is 45 feet.
Scott's Folly has turned out to be
a serious, potent thing, a demonstra
tion of great possibilities, and at
the same time, a living, growing,
scenic monument to Charles E. Bes
sey, one of the most popular and
widely known of men who have serv
ed on the University of Nebraska
faculty.
