hood of 12,000.
large Amount of Wheat.
With one town having already pur
chased and shipped over 100,000
bushels of wheat and another slight
ly more and other towns more than
formerly, it appears that there has
already been purchased and shipped;
near half million bushels of wheat,
and still more to market, which at
even $1 per bushel, and it has aver
aged more than this, is bringing into
Cass county a good round sum for the
farmers, and which eventually finds
its way into the channels of business, I
thus helping all classes of people of
the county in many ways.

Suoject: "World Makers."
We have strong men, we must
have v.Ml balanced people. This has
been the rule in all ages of the
world. It is well for a land to have
its fortifications, its well garrisoned
towns, its frontier of winding streams,
its mountain passes well guarded.
But the defense of the nation does
not depend upon fortifications, it is
the intelligence, courage, patriotism,
and last but not least, is its belief in
God. All our man made defense wiil
fail to keep out the enemy when peo
ple are corrupted and enfeebled by
debauchery.
A free and godly nation will be
respected and preserved, and such a
nation will be found where there is
true knowledge, and broad intelli
gence. Nothing enduring can be built out
of ignorance, and a lack of respect
for God and the building of Hi.; king
dom among the people. The world
can sufTer no sadder infliction than a
man or a nation devoid of righteous
ness, or right principles.
Its right here that the Christian
church and the Bible school become a
power in the community. It seeks
to give every voting man or woman
not a chest full of tools, but a spir
itual power that will enable them to
make their life worth while. How
many people when they come to the
close of life have to admit that their
life ha3 been a failure, because they
have failed to make the first com
mandment a part of their life? "Thou
shalt have no other gods before me."

Pastor of Mynard U. B. Church
